Hi,
i bought an elgato eve device, connected to the app and everything is working.
I'm using the very same appleID on the AppleTV and i have the following problem:
if I'm home, I receive every eve update.
as soon i leave home, no update is received by the app.
even siri is not able to get the device temperature.
any help ?
is Homekit really working away from home ? do you have any experience, suggestions ?
Make sure that you're logged in with the same iCloud account on your iOS device and Apple TV.
Also enable Remote Access in iOS Settings > HomeKit > {Your home} > Allow Remote Access
Have the same problem, did you have any success?
Doesn't work here either.
AppleTV and iOS Device use the same iCloud Account, iCloud KeyChain is enabled. Remote access though is never working.
I works for me – just tested it.
I'm running iOS 9.0.2 and the latest OS version for the 3rd gen Apple TV.
I can remotely accessory IP and BLE (Elgato Eve) accessories.
I had to relogin to iCloud on my Apple TV and reset my HomeKit configuration on iOS to get Remote Access working, but now everything is working fine.
Make sure that the Apple TV is within BLE range to your accessories.
Unfortunately it appears as though there are certain iCloud accounts which have an issue with HomeKit remote access via Apple TV. I'm experimenting with HomeKit and I've had no luck in getting remote access to work with my main Apple ID. However, as an experiment, I created a brand new Apple ID with an iCloud email and it works flawless for remote access. I've now opened a support ticket with AppleCare, and I'm waiting back.
Can a more experienced developer who's worked with HomeKit shed any light on this issue?
Regards,
Josh
I am not a developer but had the exact same issues since day one. And believe me, I tried EVERYTHING ever suggested. Even after numerous HomeKit resets and signing in and out of things, what finally worked for ME was ----- 1-Resetting all devices to factory 2- resetting HomeKit configuration in iOS settings 3 -deleting every HomeKit related app 4- sign out of everywhere you are signed in with iCloud. including any other iPads, iPhones, iPods, Apple TV. Etc. I even went to iCloud.com and clicked sign out of everywhere. 5- I then picked an app that supports all HomeKit devices. - I used IDevices Connected app- 6- do not download each products own app, IDevices app finds, pairs, and sets up your HomeKit without the need of the products own app. For ex. Instead of downloading Lutrons app, I found Lutrons smart bridge 2 within IDevices app, I scanned the code, and set all products up in IDevices. There were one or two products that needed their own app but I don't remember which ones. Since I did that, any and all of my devices are accessible remotely and even work for fluently with Siri. And I had MAJOR issues with HomeKit and this seemed to work for me. I even got the new Apple TV and just set it up like normal, and my HomeKit is still working flawless. Hope this works for you and anyone else having any HomeKit issue. Good luck.
I think that iOS 9.2 may contain the solution to these problems.
It didn't.
