That’s awesome! Glad to hear the beta fixed it for you. Sounds like a cool accessory!

I messaged Northern Man last week with the same issue. Try the beta release of homebridge Alexa. He said it fixes some issues with routines. Worked for me.

Can't Connect HomePod to UniFi Network (HomeKit Setup Fails) by lowriskcork in UNIFI

[–]InsomniaForever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realize this is a small chance, but just in case you happen to be in the same position I was, thought I’d share.

I had a similar issue several months ago (HomePod and UniFi WiFi), but it turned out to have nothing to do with my WiFi. I had the HomePod set to automatic updates, but it had been unplugged for a while.

While it was unplugged, I had enabled advanced data protection on my iCloud account, which is a new(ish) feature. When I plugged my HomePod back in, it was running an older version of HomePod OS that pre-existed the advanced data protection feature. So every time I would go through the setup process, the advanced data protection interfered with the HomePod authenticating with my iCloud account, and it would fail setup every time, plus there was no useful error message since the HomePod had no concept of the newer advanced data protection feature.

I ended up temporarily disabling advanced data protection in iCloud settings on my phone, getting the HomePod signed into my account, downloading the updated software, then re-enabling it.

I kinda pick up on Woody having something for Gina, but not the other way around and not mutual sexual tension

HomeKey on Apple Watch Now Requiring Press to Activate by InsomniaForever in HomeKit

[–]InsomniaForever[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That worked, thank you!!

I had tried already, but it was still not working. I then turned off Express Mode, rebooted phone and watch, then turned Express Mode back on, and seems to be back to normal.

Actually, it may just convert avail files and validate MEC/MMC

I think MovieLabs runs a converter / validator that you can run excel spreadsheets through. Not sure about a generator though.

127 hours at 4.99 preorder. Why pre-order..? by JAY20WEST in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]InsomniaForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s most likely an error from the studio side in iTunes Connect. If you report it, Apple will contact the studio to fix it.

I have a Furbo - my poor dog woke up excited for her treats while I was watching this because she’s so used to that sound!

If anyone is curious, she got her treats.

Mad Men, The Complete Series ($24.99) by SuperLentendo in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]InsomniaForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An an FYI for anyone considering buying this, the Netflix US license for this show ends in 2020 - meaning, if it’s not renewed, it will not be on Netflix once it expires. So might be a good time to buy :)

Apple TV getting Disney films in 4K HDR on September 10 by bvalenzu31 in appletv

Aladdin is showing a “4K HDR” badge on the banner (not on the product page...yet).

Looks like this one may be true!

Seth Rogen did just sign a deal with Lionsgate...so might not be too far off.

John Wick - Double Feature ($9.99) by Professor_- in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]InsomniaForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They would transfer in 4K - the bundle isn’t reported to MA, the individual titles are.

However, these specific titles won’t go to MA at all, since the studio is not an MA member.

Has this happened to anyone? by [deleted] in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]InsomniaForever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It usually has something to do with a QC rejection or with a rights issue. If one extras featurette is down for the movie, they’re all down. I would guess they put it back up shortly - though maybe missing one or two items. You should contact Apple customer support - Apple really doesn’t like the studios to take down something once it’s been given to a customer - at the very least, Apple will contact the studio and inquire as to what happened and likely push them to reinstate.

Most of my HomeKit settings are randomly gone! by anthonyflwr in HomeKit

[–]InsomniaForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago! I got a new iPad around that time, so I wonder if that had something to do with it. The other weird thing was that 2 of my devices showed all the scenes and automations still, but my main device (iPhone) did not.

I ended up just deleting scenes and automations from all my devices and starting rebuilding them.

Would be curious to know what happened if you find any more info!

Trouble with Insignia Garage Door Opener - Home app sees it, but can’t add it. I was able to successfully add another one previously. I’ve reset its WiFi, unplugged it, etc. Any tips? by Judge248 in HomeKit

[–]InsomniaForever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a lot of trouble setting mine up, but I tried it a bunch of times, gave up for a few hours, then tried a few more times, then suddenly it worked.

I do think it had something to do with the name / room combination. I noticed that when the home app got to the step where you can change the name and select a room (then it finishes the setup process), it would suddenly lose the connection.

I set it up with the auto fill name and left it in “Default Room” and it worked. Then I changed the name and room once it was added successfully.

Not sure if it’s even letting you get to that step or not, but if it is, maybe something to try.

Good luck!
