HomeKit remote access

Argo · June 25, 2018, 2:14pm

No, It’s still “on”…

Argo · June 25, 2018, 2:22pm

ou
I tried to copy operation mode and it worked.
Really. It does not work with “off”, But works with “Off”

Now, as I understand, home app is sending not what thermostat is listening to. How should I change home app command or thermostat command?

Can you try if heat and cool (lowercase) work from the services panel?

Argo · June 25, 2018, 3:08pm

Yeah, they work
“Heat (Default)”, “Cool”

cdce8p · June 25, 2018, 3:12pm

Hm, I have to take a closer look at it later. Will get back to you

cdce8p · June 25, 2018, 3:31pm

“Heat (Default)”, “Cool”

I meant especially the lowercase ones.

Argo · June 25, 2018, 3:33pm

Sorry, no, does not work that way

heat (Default) - does not work
Heat (Default) - works

cdce8p · June 25, 2018, 9:51pm

So, the issue is that the Z-Wave climate platform doesn’t follow the Home Assistant standards for states which results in HomeKit and others not working. While looking at Github, I found the corresponding issue: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/13158

Originally for Google Home, but essentially the same problem.
Unfortunately I don’t have any Z-Wave climate devices, which make debugging and solving this myself, nearly impossible.

Argo · June 26, 2018, 1:26pm

Naively thought that I can change z-wave file (Off -> off) and get things work. Nope, does not work
So I only can change the temperature, not state. Unfortunatelly
What is more sad - I know only one way to control A/C.

Went through the instruction.
Still not working.

Argo · June 28, 2018, 3:32pm

They are working! Huge thank you!
Siri can only do auto mod? For A/C it’s fine, but if I say for thermofloor, it does not change the state. Frome
homekit app everything is fine when I choose heat mode

cdce8p · June 28, 2018, 4:25pm

Siri should be able to do everything that works from the Home App. For the thermofloor it should be off, heat and cool.

The only problem is that the thermostat does have unsupported modes as well. Say you do the following:

Select heat from HomeKit
Select Energy Heat from the HA frontend

If you then try to select heat again in the Home App, it will not work. You need to select a different mode first (e.g. cool) and then heat.

bliblablo · January 21, 2019, 6:30pm

I am currently having the same issue. I used to have homebridge working on my Pi and HomeKit always worked perfectly (also remotely). Since I have home-assistant running, HomeKit is not responding when I am not at home. I CAN control my Apple-TV using it. It shows up in HomeKit as available when I turn off wifi and I can make it play music using the HomeKit app, but everything else is not available.
Do you guys have any other idea what the problem could be? Is there something that I have to enable? HA btw. is not available from outside of local and I’d prefer to let it stay that way.
Are there some logs or so to look at?

jfrux · December 20, 2019, 1:16pm

Home app is garbage… only use is to integrate with Siri… I don’t see myself ever using Home app until they get an actual UX person on it. Especially once you integrate all your smart home devices, switches, lights, etc. It’s a mess to manage. Apple really missed their mark for sure.
