Does any tutorial or reference exist for not using MMAL with ARMv7 Linux IP camera, similar to how Apple HomeKit ADK uses MMAL for processing streams on the Raspberry Pi?

Hello there, After including the power source cluster with it's feature maps, the HomeKit is not showing the remaining battery level for the Matter devices, I'm able to read back the power source cluster with my chip-tool for linux. My Apple System Specifications are, Apple BR -> Homepod Mini running tvOS 16.3.2 Matter Controller -> iPhone13 running iOS 16.3.1 Thanks in Advance.

Hello everyone, I often study in my living room and connect to my 2 HomePod minis to listen to some music. I use a timer for studying (Be Focused App) and whenever a 30-minute interval is over some sound is playing to signal the end of the interval. This causes the sound of the MacBook M1 Pro to crash. Meaning when I try to access the Sound tab within the System Settings it just doesn't display anything. Either it only displays whatever has been displayed before (So if it was on the general tab before it'll just keep displaying the general tab's options) or it just shows a blank tab. The only steps that usually fix this after a couple of minutes are 1. Disconnect from the Wi-Fi, 2. force quit Apple Music, 3. re-connect to the Wi-Fi, 4. re-open Music Apple (usually still stuck and requires a second force quit + re-open), 5. then wait a while and sometimes it's working then. Do you have suggestions to fix this issue? I feel like the issue lies within the MacBook because streaming from the iPhone hasn't caused any issues so far. Cheers, J.

We are IPC developer and We developed HOMEKIT to find problems: We tried to open IPC's video stream without encrypting it but the camera didn't respond! Please tell the reason!

Hello i purchased my apple Developer membership and it still says Pending, ... Why tho... and it still says to purchase it. how do i fix this?

I have tried to use this beta twice and had to downgrade to 16.3.2 due to it would either not work at all or was so buggy was unusable. First upgrade was from the 16.3.2 to 16.4. It went very had. It appeared to install all just fine. It rebooted and never connected to wifi again. I even factory reset and attempted to setup again as new but still would never connect to a wifi network. I finally gave up after a few hours and restored again to 16.3.2 and all came back as it should working. So I attempted once more to upgrade to 16.4. This time it at least completed and seemed to reboot and work properly. Did not last long. It would work and not work. At times saying it could not talk to the internet. Reboot and work for 15 minutes and again the same. In the end I gave up and went back to 16.3.2 and will leave it there till maybe the next drop and see what happens.

Hi, In my latest SwiftUI project, I've been able to use the HomeKit framework to list homes, rooms and accessories + read & change states, but for some reason HomePods (and their temperature sensors) are not listed as an accessory. Anyone can help me? Thens in advance. Philippe.

Hi everyone, I made a TDS sensor for controlling a water quality in the aquarium and want to report values (and automate warnings) using homekit. I didn't find proper homekit accessory category for such a sensor - what would you recommend? The values coming from the sensor are in ppm (0-1000). I'm currently masquerading it as temp sensor, but it confuses other results in the Home.app. Any ideas?

Hi, I am currently working on a smart home prototype for our company using Apple Home Kit and later in this project we will use Matter. I am facing a problem with the automations. The product we are developing is a new version of a thermostat. The termostat itself is the "brain" and contains all control elements, like the time contol. This time control knows, when to start heating in order to achive the desired temperature at the selected time and continuously learns if it has to adapt the starting point. Is there a way to interact with the automations you can set in the home app? For example if the customer sets a time to power off the heater in the home app, the thermostat will know that there is a time set and imports this time and the other way around (the customer sets a time at the display of the thermostat and apple home will display this time in the automations tab)? I know it would be much easier to control time automation only in the home app, but I need to develop this for people who dont know much about the home app as well. They will be able to control everything at the thermostat itself. Thank you in advance for your help Franz

After my phone upgraded to ios 16.3, I can't get the accessory information through the HMAccessory, the accessory information is returned empty.

When I configure a 'Sprinkler' type accessory (with an 'Irrigation system' service as the primary service) in the Homekit Simulator or when I create the same accessory in code using the HAP and then add that accessory to the home app, some characteristics are missing. For instance the switch for setting the accessory 'Active'(enabled) doesn't show. When I use third party apps (like Eve or Home+) everything works as expected.

The invite button just disappear in home app. Other can't invite her phone too. How to solve this problem?

Hi, I wanted to use MatterAddDeviceRequest api in MatterSupport. When I called api, system pop-up shows up and then right after tapping 'Add to @' button, pop-up always shows HMErrorDomain 76 error. I found this code in HomeKit.HMError case keychainSyncNotEnabled = 76 I wonder that enabling keychain sync is mandatory to use MatterAddDeviceRequest api? Or could you tell me why this error always occurs? Thanks!

Hi, I have smart bulb, extension leads and lamp that are working with apple homekit. I also have homepod mini to help me switch them on and off. They were all on the home app. Until i have to remove them all and reset them all to re add them on home app as they stopped responding. Until it won’t work. i needed to restart and reinstall home app which made me remove all of it plus the homepod mini on my home app. Now trying to add them all up but my home app won’t set up back again. Despite hovering at phone. It just offering to play something but it won’t actually play. It says that it’s in the default room but i already reset and removed home several times. I also tried to reset by pressing the top and waiting for red light and beep as it was said online and it didn’t work. I also tried unplugging it, trying it through itunes but to no avail. I felt like i have exhausted everything and i don’t know if my homepod is still attached to my phone or somewhere in apple purgatory. LOL so everything looked like this now. I tried forgetting my wifi network and reconnecting, turning on and off my phone and even updating the latest iOS. I also tried logging in and out Apple Music cause siri on my homepod won’t do anything but it hears me and answers but does nit know who i am. I think my homepod mini had IT amnesia 🥺

I have Been struggling for few months now after buying a homepod to pair with my Apple TV. The problem is basically after setting the HomePod as the default audio output, it just simply keeps disconnecting and I get the screen attached with “try again” or select a different audio output. Trying again will make it work for few seconds (sometimes a minute) then it will disconnect again with the same error screen. It just keeps happening all the time. so far I have tried: resetting the Apple TV and Homepod to factory setting deleting the home and creating new home (in the home app) apple replaced the HomePod under warranty after bringing the issue to their attention. We have eliminated the possibility of a HomePod hardware issue I have purchased the new Apple TV (the latest one , with the silver remote) . Thus, eliminating an Apple TV hardware issue the problem could be replicated in apple store (using their own TV & their network) . thus eliminating a router or TV issue there has been few software updates and I’m on the latest (14.6) for both Apple TV and HomePod The issue still occurs. I can’t enjoy any movie or TV show for more than few seconds with The Homepod as the default Audio option. Apple support have run some diagnostics but haven’t got back to me yet. any thoughts ?

Does anyone know of a controller and remote that could be used to turn on and off a 12v led light?

I can't seem to find any details on how communication really happens in homekit, is there a session diagram somewhere? I would like to create an app, but want to undestand this question.I have configured my home/testing lab with several networks/subnets on VLANs, and my Homekit devices are in my internet-of-things (IOT), and segmented for security reasons into their own network. I have created firewall rules to allow my computers and iOS devices/Homekit Hubs to initiate IP sessions through to the IOT network, but disallow (new) connections from IOT to the other VLANs. I also have mDNS reflection configured to rebroadcast across the VLAN boundaries. This appears to mostly work, but occasionally have accessories go "Unresponsive" and can't tell if that's because they truly need to be able to initiate a IP conversation/session or if their WiFi connection is just unreliable as many Accessories seem to do just fine.So, can anyone answer:Do all Sessions initiate from the iPad/iPhone/HomePod/AppleTV, or do the Accessories need be able to initiate? If so, I'll have to move them out of the IOT network, but I was really hoping to avoid that.Thanks for any pointers!Brett

Our HomePod minis are stuck downloading 14.5 yet the software version number shows 14.5. Any suggestions how to stop the download / update

After i update macOS to Ventura, I found it could not open Homekit Accessory Tester. The error message show 'Could not obtain authorization to capture network traffic'. I have tried to run app from terminal with sudo, but it did not work.
