Accessing Homekit with multiple Devices #11

Closed dermarder closed 8 years ago

dermarder commented 8 years ago

Hey,

first of all great work! Unfortunately im having a problem. Im only able to connect with one iDevice at the same time. Ive got a iPhone and an iPad but i am can only connect with one device. The other device has access to the homekit but the devices are all unreachable.

Any help would be awesome. Sorry for my bad language.

thanks in advance,

Tom

I think you have to invite other people to share your homekit devices. I'm not sure how to share if the devices use the same Apple ID

Seems that iOS 9 prevents you from doing this: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/issues/119

I have the EVE app on multiple devices running! You install it on one of the apple device and than you share your environment with others. They will receive a link where your homekit environment is shared. Eve uses this configuration on the device. You have to enable Keychain in icloud to actually use the EVE app.

Thank you for your help. So i have to go to Settings -> HomeKit And use the Share Option to Send the config to my other device?

In eve you can go to "guest access" in EVE there you can invite somebody via email. At the invited device they will add your home configuration to homekit. Maybe you can do it also directly in homekit settings in the apple menu.
