Some other forums intimated that Apple may eventually fix this by having the option to put timers / triggers onto your AppleTV, which is required for HomeKit remote access anyway.

Since I travel a lot, and am not always connected, this seems to be a real shortcoming. Meaning that any triggers / timers that I set up on my iPhone will only execute IF my iPhone has access to my network.ie the devices to be controlled are "reachable". I have ordered a third bridge to cover the workshop and garage.Īnnoying Issue: Within HomeKit, there appears to be a rule that triggers and timers are NOT shared across devices. These two bridges cover about 75% of my home very well. The fact that there were two bridges was pretty transparent to me, except when doing the initial setup of each device. In this case there was an in wall dimmer w/ Pico remote on Bridge #1 and a plug-in module w/ Pico remote on Bridge #2.Įverything appeared to be working just fine in this very limited config. By that I mean a scene that contained accessories from each of the two bridges.

I was able to successfully set up and operate a cross bridge scene. Home - Smart Home Automation from Matthias H. Basic set up went just fine, I had at least 2 Lutron Caseta devices / accessories on each Bridge.Ģ. I did some light testing this weekend of a two SmartBridge 2 Pro configuration.
