Anyone splice a Welcome light into an outdoor extension cord and plugging into an outdoor receptacle for a permanent solution? I want to add one to my deck.

Not sure what happened. I previously had two G400’s working via POE and a G2H Pro. They worked exceptionally good in Aqara and the Home app. No drop outs, no lags.

Last night I added three G5 Pro’s via POE and now ALL the cameras are frequently going offline (every 10 mins for a minute or so) and the live feed in HomeKit is very laggy and glitchy for ALL cameras. Live feed works fine in Aqara. HKSV recordings work fine too and the live camera feeds start very fast (1 sec or less). So far I tried rebooting my Unifi router and the Home Hub (newest model AppleTV hardwired).

This has me scratching my head… Any ideas?

If anyone out there has this dimmer switch, can you please advise if the two lower dimmer buttons, well all three buttons for that matter, are configurable in HomeKit as scene controller buttons or can they only be used as dimmers for a load. Thanks.

Well that sucks. Can anyone from Aqara verify that this was intentional or just a glitch in the system. Thought I had until midnight tonight. Was going to purchase 10 of them but not at 100 bux a pop. Oh well.

Edit* I’m talking about the $79.99 sale price that went back to full price of $99 early.

Can anyone on the iOS 27 Beta confirm or deny if the HomeKit convert to shortcut allows the “Else, If” action for automations?

This is huge for turning a single button press of a switch into a step dimmer (single press once-100% brightness, single press a second time-75% brightness, single press third time-50% brightness and so on…). Nested “If” actions never worked for this application.

I’ve been waiting for this action for a long time and never thought in my wildest dreams that Apple would’ve implemented it.

Has anyone with an Ecobee filter subscription moved from Ecobee to the W200 and still kept the filter subscription? Do you need an Ecobee thermostat running for the filter subscription to remain active?

No mention of this in the online user manual. Was looking to get a pair of these to use for light sync for a TV. Was curious what the minimum distance is from the wall to get these to work good. I was under the impression that these can be very close to the wall and I don’t have much room to work with.

Is this actually working for anybody? All I get is a spinny circle followed by a message to connect to the same WiFi as the AppleTV. This was one of my most used Apple Watch apps when it worked (when it was just a list) but it’s been wonky ever since they switched to this proximity feature. I tried rebooting the Watch, the AppleTV, iPhone, network, disconnecting from Bluetooth, made sure they are on the same network, uninstalling the app, etc. 10 AppleTV’s and all the same useless results.

iPhone 17PM, Apple Watch Ultra 3, AppleTV 4K latest gen all on the latest software version.

For those of you with the S100 Touchscreen Switch, there is a very limited amount of icons you can use when you edit the device card, compared to how many there are in total. I haven’t found anywhere that indicates which ones are usable for the touchscreen so it’s all trial and error. Fortunately for you, I took some screenshots of which ones you are able to use. I’ve reached out to Aqara to expand this very limited list. Please see comments below. The usable icons are circled in red.

FYI, this is only if you are using the Switch via Aqara Hub. HomeKit has its own set of icons which are selectable from the switch itself and only work if you connect directly to HomeKit without an Aqara Hub.

This one is extremely annoying and wondering if it’s happening to anyone else. Never saw this happen with the Gen 2 Bridge.

Basically, all my lights are acting as if they’re responsive in the Home app but the actual physical Hue lights don’t do anything. In other words, the Home app tiles change state but the lights just stay at their present state. Hope the way I’m explaining it makes sense. Power cycling the hub corrects the issue but it happens way too often. Firmware up to date.
