Set up HomeKit

Hadii — Sat, 02 Nov 2024 22:04:39 GMT

the “set up HomeKit” button doesn’t do anything, the first time I tapped it, it asked for HomeKit data permission via a pop up which I agreed then nothing happens even if I tap the button again. If I repeatedly tap the button couple of times it asks for the phone to be connected to same network as eero (basically connect to TalkTalk full fibre) even though I’m already connected to the same network!

Which HomeKit devices do you have? Is the Home app on your iPad/iPhone connected up to them OK?

I have an Apple TV and 3 HomePod minis and yes my iPhone is connected and HomeKit works normally it’s just I can’t seem to add eero to HomeKit! If I press the button in the eero app where it says “set up HomeKit” nothing happens!

OK, do keep us posted.

I just went to my eero app out of curiosity, even though I don't I have any HomeKit myself. When I tapped on that "Set up" button I got this:

Will do, yh it needs to have either Apple TV or HomePod ( or an iPad set up as hub) to proceed.
