You need a home hub to remotely connect to your HomeKit accessories. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207057
Sorry - forgot to mention... I have an iPad as a hub. All other HomeKit accessoires work fine via 4G...
Have you tried to remove the cam from the Home app and re-add it after using pin 00102003?
That is another little problem ;-) I already re-added the cam many times. Nearly every time I had rebooted it. So yeah... I did ;-)
Okay, I am still running v0.0.8 + commit 48e4d and have no problems what so ever ..
Does hkcam work both on your iPad and iPhone when you are connected to WiFi? I have seen that my iPad sometimes is out-of-sync compared to my iPhone (not only for HKCam but for other accessory too). Solution I use is, simple reboot the iPad (Home Hub) and it get's synced again.
Thanx for the tip... it looks like rebooting the iPad worked. Even the iPad worked fine with the cam before rebooting. Maybe a reboot has to be done after adding the cam via the iPhone...
I'm pretty new to this... what does "commit 48e4d" mean and how do I apply it? I use Terminal via a Mac...
Nice to read that it worked out for you :-)
Forget about commit 48e4d, this commit is included in v0.0.9 which you are running already :)
(btw you can close this issue if it works for you)
Thats true - but I think there will be a next "commit"... ;-) And then I would like to know what to do... Is a commit a patch?
A commit is a change to GitHub and could be indeed a patch or a new feature ... How to update from source can be found here
I set up a HKcam with the version 0.0.9 - and it works fine when I am in the same wifi. When I deactivate the wifi and try to activate the camera via 4G both apps (HomeKit and Home 3) quickly show the message: "Keine Antwort - Die Kamera antwortet nicht."
I used the fix with the minimum bitrate to boost image quality, but also when I set the bitrate down to 5 (from 800), still I get the same message... do someone have an idea what the problem is?
Ps.: I change the hostname, because I have another pi in my network...
