Thanks for watching! If you have any HomeKit questions, drop them below or hit me up on Instagram @ShaneCreates and I'll do my best to help!
Why are there so many products that support Alexa or google, but don’t support HomeKit? Is it hard or expensive for product/app developers to make their products compatible? It’s really annoying that I have so many products that I can’t control with Siri/my HomePods.
I am a beginner at this. Great video.How can I keep in touch so I can pick your brain on setting up my smart bedroom?
What do you find as a good solution to operating a ceiling fan with HomeKit? Not wanting to replace the fan , just want to operate it they a “smart switch “!
I don’t know why, but it feels like I hear a very high pitch ring in the video
One of best YouTube videos I’ve watched!! Very well structured
Great video. What do you think about putting your closet door sensors on the inside the door so you don't see them when the door is closed.
Thank you! I found that very informative! I think I'd like to set up something that turns lights on when I come home at night, alert me if my doors are opened (I live alone and would like the extra security) and ALL THE LIGHTBULBS!!!! It's going to be a slow process switching everything over though because it's all quite costly
Hi Shane. Planning to buy Aqara Hub and other Aqara security products but I dont have any Apple device Hub like the homepod mini (I only have my iPhone). Will Homekit still work? Thanks in advance
This seems like a Fanboy channel. I will turn to Hubitat, Aeotec, or Home Assistant instead.
One reason for me to choose homekit is that it also works if the internet is down. Apart from what you mentioned. Nice video by the way.
New subscriber here. Great videos for people like me with zero knowledge on smart homes.
If love the look of the Google Nest hub with the screen. We are Apple people in the house and want to stay with Apple. Do you think an iPad would serve as good as a HomeKit hub as a Google Nest in terms of the interface and UI options?
Lastly, you mentioned the only HomeKit hub that supports thread is the home pod mini. How about an iPad used as the hub?
Can I have 5 ecobee3Lite wifi thermostats connected and easily access all 5 controls from one location in the home?
I’ve been searching for this special explanation for a long time. Thank u Shane and we follow each clear and to-point word u talk about! Thanks man
I am not sure if I should put this on your HomePod mini video or here…. But what happens when you have several devices that are capable of being the hub. I want to add a few Mini's because of the IFTTT support, but I also have several AppleTV 4K that are currently acting as the hubs. I believe one is the main, and the other is a fallback, but I don't know how to tell.
Thanks man! I’ve been struggling to understand the ecosystem and find products, specially in here Brazil. Bye.
The internet is broken (i.e. the connection between the router and the ISP), but WiFi at home is still working. Can I still control my HomeKit devices when I'm at home?
Thanks for the great video!
The same happen when i try to connect MY TV to the 4 speakes.
Hi i have 2 Home Pod and 2 Mini. But when i play music, sometimes they disconnect from the music. Should i need more speed on mu router or i need to replace the router? Or the speakers are defective?
Great!
Thanks for your video. I want to know , where I can buy HomeKit ?? Can you pls share ?
Hi Shane another great video. I was wondering if you could do a video about adding a child to your HomeKit home so they can control there lights and devices in there bedroom without be able to altering or deleting anything from HomeKit?
Hi! nNew subscriber here. Super informative video, so I think you might have the answer to my question. How do you set up long runs of LED with HomeKit? I'm wanting to upgrade my house & there is so much mixed info out there about setting up smart LED strip lighting. You might already have a video about. Thanks!
This is one of the best HomeKit videos I have watched. Shane explains things very clearly and his examples are spot on. Thank you!!
Glad I found this channel. Just moved over to the iPhone and now I want to automate the home as much as possible.
Can i use homekit for the nanoleaf essentials only with my Apple tv alone?
Now can we do one for Google products?
I hate apple with a burning passion… Let me know when 2.7 years of your Icloud storage history just literally just DISAPPEARS out of all your device's at once…
Great video mate. Subscribed 👍🏻
I understand that HomeKit provides high security but should it then be the only route to controlling your accessories? If you use the accessory app I assume that it bypasses HomeKit and is therefore less secure?
Are there any good HomeKit bridges that will let me add my z-wave locks, thermostat, and smart plugs?
Couldn't agree more! Homekit is so underrated by so many Youtubers.
Terrific video. I’m just starting my HomeKit smart home. What lights did you use for the under cabinet lighting in your kitchen? Thanks!
Okay I neeeed this to be answered. How do I remove accessories from my home app? I switched to a new internet line and all of the off brand accessories that connected directly to the wifi didn’t connect to my new wifi. How do I fix that? I have 2 meross bulbs and 2 meross ambience lights
This was really helpful!
I really want to use homkit but there is no 240 volt devices made for it. If you know plz help me
