Automatically change name in Homekit

,
1

Hello everyone,

I’ve been reading through here, but I haven’t found anything really useful…
I have integrated my Zigbee devices via Z2M. I have connected Alexa via the cloud. If I now change the name of a device including entities in the Z2M interface, I get the Alexa notification 1 second later that a device name has been changed. Now I can also control it directly by voice.

It’s a bit more difficult with Homekit. The integration works great so far. As soon as I change a device name, the device is displayed in HomeKit as ‘no longer accessible’. The name simply doesn’t change.

Is there a solution similar to Alexa with seamless synchronisation?

Thank you!

That sounds about right, it’s just the way it works with HK Bridge.

Is there a way to change the configuration? Similar to Alexa?

It’s annoying if I have to reconfigure my entire setup after every new lamp added or name change
