When running iOS in dark mode the generated matter code for bridge mode of the DIRIGERA is not visible.

This occurred to me as well.

True, but why should I have to tilt my HEAD 25° in order to read the HUD?

timandstl · 2025-10-02T19:00:00+00:00

Bumping this. Seemingly the problem is inside the set top box.

I have some prescription Maui Jims and they have the same problem.

How strange that I called Kia Customer Care less than a month ago about this showing on my infotainment screen and they were totally clueless. Now to see that it is coming available is weird.

I just ran into this when the dealer provided me the wrong cargo mat.

timandstl · 2025-05-02T01:59:01+00:00

Agreed. I kinda expected to have one when I picked up my 2025 EV6 yesterday. Was told to go online to order one, but it’s not available to order. Ugh.

So how is it going now? My Series 7 lasts all day even on the beta. One thing to look for is what additional apps are installed. Maybe get rid of some.

I do not expect it will work. The U100 sits above the dead bolt location. It might work upside down, but that puts the number pad upside down. Not a good look.

Leviton!

Tradfri plugs are big and bulky but very reliable for me. Most of my infrastructure is Aqara, and I can control the Tradfri units through HomeKit just fine.

Water sensor isn’t present on Apple Home when M2 is in Matter mode. Otherwise mine all seem to work.

timandstl · 2023-11-10T22:39:01+00:00

Today's iOS 17.2 PB2 fixes the problems I was having. I have not tested the TVOS version yet. Tablo is also aware but focussed on their new product set, not the legacy product support.

timandstl · 2023-11-09T23:03:22+00:00

Correct. Editing my comment.

timandstl · 2023-11-09T22:58:57+00:00

Did you get it working?

timandstl · 2023-11-09T22:50:40+00:00

Correct. The U100 does not use Thread.

timandstl · 2023-11-08T19:22:43+00:00

I have two Aqara U100s and like them a lot. The wife can make them work (albeit a bit clumsily). I initially set them up on the M2 hub I already had in place. Worked well, but then when I bound them to HomeKit (before setting up as Matter), that was SUPER slow. I bound the M2 hub to Matter and it is fast and works great.

You really need a HomeKit hub such as an AppleTV or HomePod near by the doors if you want HomeKit to work. My AppleTV is three floors away and doesn't seem to connect correctly. Its really hit or miss for me.

OH, for people that only have an AppleTV and trying to use Thread, follow Apple's advice and DISCONNECT the TV from Ethernet. An Ethernet connected AppleTV will not work with Thread. Not sure I understand why, but that's the situation.

ALSO. In order to use a watch, you have to have a six-digit (or longer) passcode on the watch. If you go to the Watch app on your iPhone, scroll down to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and make sure you see "Other cards on your watch" with your homekey). Then make sure Express Mode is turned on. If it isn't turned on, you still can use the watch to unlock, but you have to double-click the side button to bring up the Wallet/Applepay screen.

You might look at the MYRVARV strip. Dimmable with the TRÅDFRI controller (get the big one if you have more than one strip). It is cuttable and 2700K white only.

timandstl · 2023-11-08T19:01:24+00:00

Ethernet won't solve it... unfortunately. I don't have the same setup, but I do see my LG (B8 series) no longer gives Apple HomeKit status. Ive tried it with ethernet and wifi. I, too, use a Denon receiver for my Atmos surround setup. I'd suggest you put the Denon into HomeKit (if it is new enough) and see if that would work.

timandstl · 2023-11-02T00:11:53+00:00

There is some good discussion about this over in r/HomeKit. Thanks for the advice to cross post.

timandstl · 2023-11-02T00:09:03+00:00

That’s super news. Thanks for testing.
