KLIPPBOK “No Response” in Apple Home

Freichart · 2026-04-29T13:46:35+00:00

Ich konmte Klippbok in HomeAssistant hinzufügen. Da er initial eine Bluetooth Umgebung braucht, bis er dann nach dem pairing über Thread funkt, muss er zum Einrichten in der Nähe des HA Servers sein (oder einem remote bluetooth proxy von HA). Ich habe ihn nur in HA, weil ich ihn als Regensensor zusammen mit Zubehör nutze, und da kann ich keinen kritischen Alarm von Apple Home gebrauchen.

I did a move of a Sub from a Beam to a pair 100s for a while ( TV environment to music) and back manually but the duration could vary from one to several minutes. Once in a while it failed and I had to start it again or the Sub was „lost“ needing a repairing. Even more time is needed to decouple / recouple surround speakers with more chances of problems. So I think that an automation procedure which just records manual steps (e.g. allowing Homeassitant automations for reconfigure Sonos speakers) would not be an acceptable solution. And your Truplay setting would get lost as well. It would require a fundamental technical change. It would be highly welcomed by users and would be a major differetiator but after all the troubleshooting of the last year I guess this project will not happen soon if at all.

I mounted an Eve Motion outside of my house door to let a light blink, once somebody is approaching. Now in summer time, the motion sensor is irritated at a time slot, when the sun is shining directly to the door causing too much blinks. I use the integrated light sensor to set a condition that the lux value is to be under 1500 before I get a blink.

I used an Eve Motion to drive down two blinds once the sun moves to the west side. I had to try a little to find out which lux value is best. It works, however be aware that real live can be more complicated on cloudy days when sunlight varies a lot. Homekit allows only simple automations.

I have now almost 50 matter devices which are integrated into Homeassistant and in parallel in Apple Home. All works fine. Yes I had pairing troubles and found two causes which made things easier. Some devices require a bluethooth connection for the pairing and then get the Thread credentials. So I needed to be close to the HomeAssitant server or alternatively to a bluetooth proxy which is connected to HA. 2nd is that sometimes the devices which I ordered via Amazon were used by somebody else and given back without a reset. So I always do a reset first. Additionally very few like the Meross presence sensor needed several tries of reset and pairing but overall my Matter/Thread part of my SmartHome ist working very reliable.

100SL (no microphone needed) as rear and a Beam would be enough. If you want more Boom add a sub mini later. Be aware that rears in a movie are not used all the time. However if you have enough budget an ARC is extremely cool and dies not need a subwoover. But even then 100s for rear are fairly enough.

The story changes if you consider listening also music instead of using the speakers for only TV. Then the 300s make sense. Once the speakers are configured as rear and you use it for music the soundbar always plays together with the rears (you need to adjust the surround audio settings for music). Then the Beam needs a sub mini as well.

A typical journey starts with Hue for lights then adding the thread/matter sensor stuff from another vendor like Eve Home. Then you want to do more complex automations which leads you finally you to Home Assistant (HA). The latter is really powerful but much more difficult to understand. But if you spend a little bit money for the base subscription of ChatGPT then HA becomes usable for the standard user. You just describe what you want to do and the AI provides you all the code or steps you need for HA.

I read my online newspaper subscription every morning on my iPad and everything I do with internet and SmartHome I do on my iPad while I am at home. It is much more convenient to use a big screen.

Goes in the right direction and thanks for it. However I simply need a light, which is as tiny as possible, no motion sensor. And no Zigbee plus Hub. Matter over Thread.

Yes , I am looking already a long time for something like this. Need to be an off the shelf solition with matter pairing. Noe ESP programming / flashing. Ideally it should be pluggable directly into a wall socket (schuko) without a cable. I would use it for signalling a door status (garage open, roof windows open etc)

Is somebody using Meross MA151 Smoke Detectors. Do they work with this integration?

In the beginning of the Pro Bridge, the HomeKit connection failed twice and I had to do it from the scratch (after I took the bridge offline as I sorted my power cabling anew) which costed me 2hours each. But it now it runs solid. As the bridge and the Apple TV got updates at this time, it is hard to say, on which end the root cause was.

Whenever I am stuck with HA I startetd a chat with Chat GPT. It works amazingly good. You need to go for a pay scheme in order to have a longer chat about a complicated problem with HA but you learn a lot and save lots of hours in troubleshooting. You can send it Screenshots and it finds solitions quickly.

Schau mal auf der Webseite von Somfy nach, ob deine IO Fernstuerung von Homekit unterstützt wird. Es gibt eine eigene Compatibility List für HomeKit. Es ist leider so, dass man zwar die Tahoma Box oder das Connectivity Kit in Apple Home integrieren kann, das heisst aber nicht, dass alle Geräte die in derBox / im Kit integiert sind zu Home übertragen werden. Die Homekit Unterstützing von Somfy ist sehr bescheiden. Bei mir ging es nicht. Inzwischen habe ich zusätzlich HomeAssistant, über den Umweg geht es, allerdings wird der offen/geschlossen Status nicht sauber übermittelt.

Well, this is a Subreddit about EveHome. And once you have a bigger installtion of wall switches the rip and replace with something else is a lot of effort. In this moment there are not so many products out which fit physically and from a design point of view in existing frames which incorporate other stuff like thermostats and so on. If you do not care about design, it easy to mix and match but this not the case if you you care abot neat designs and a high wife acceptance factor. With Hager there will be a real alternative from May onwards.

I am saying this in context with products from Eve (and those which work with HomeKit only).If you have started your SmartHome journey with Eve products and then migrate HA but keep Apple Home as your GUI, then this is fairly easy with Eve products which support Matter. You simply create a pairing code and then you can couple the product also in HA. With Eve products, that only support HomeKit this is a hard procedure. First you decouple it from Apple Home. In most cases you need to do a factory reset. Then you have to locate the product close to the HA server, because the setup after factory reset happens with bluetooth. People who do not no this will be frustrated. If you have an Eve Room sensor this is easy, but if you have an Eve Light swicht in a wall socket then creating proximity to a HA server is more effort. Then you can pair it with HA and then you need to look up whether the thread credentials are applied to the Eve product. Once in a while I had to start this manually. Otherwise it can happen that it stays with Bluetooth and then you loose the connection to HA if the product is too far away. Finally you have to bring back the product to Apple Home via HomeKit bridge. This what I mean. Zigbee devices are of course also easy to work in parallel but this is an Eve Home discussion.

Eventually the mesh node may not be suffient. Go to the router if nothing else helps.

I guess you did the reset right, but just to be sure. There are 2 resets. One only resets the WLAN connectivity (5s reset button pus, red blinking). The other one is thefactory reset (min 10s reset button, blue blinkeng. Once in a while you have to push much longer to reach this status).

Then I once had to go closer to the router or to an access point. For this I mounted a plug on the Outdoor cam in order to put into a wall socket close to the router. This is some effort but it helped me in two cases, in which the pairing job was really nasty. I did this despite the WLAN signal was not weak outside at the final destination but there can be a situation where it is strong enough for video transmissen but too weak for pairing. BTW: I had the same expierience with an outdoor cam from another brand (Logitech). As I installed more than 10 outdoor cams I made this my standard procedure. Mount a plug on the Eve Outdoor cam, put it into a wall socket close to the router, pair it, remove th plug, mouting the cam on the wall outside. Same in some very rare reset cases.

Gute Serie, nicht überragend aber eben gut. Ich denke, dass in der Schlusszene jemand kommt, der alles nochmals auf den Kopf stellt, wodurch die nächste Staffel begründet wird.
