Q: Cannot disable 'Home Control' in locked screen

Steps:

1 Settings -> Passcode

2 Find switches under 'Allow Access When Locked'

3 Try to disable 'Home Control' (Slide it to left to make the switch white)

4 It pops back and remains green(enabled)

5 Other switches function as intended.

 

Version:

10.0.1 14A403

iPhone 5c A1526

 

Home.app is not set up because it requires iCloud Keychain which is disabled.

iPhone 5c, iOS 10

    I am under the impression that you cannot disable Homekit from the lock screen. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204893

    Nothing in the webpage is related to lock screen display.

    Exact same Problem here. This is actually the only entry I have found via Google concerning this bug. I have seen the issue on 2 iPhones which have been updated from iOS9 to 10. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s.

    I also have removed the Home-App and do not have Keychain enabled.

    Strangely I have also seen this option being disabled without a problem on another iPhone 6.

    Anybody know a solution? Besides having to restore the entire phone I mean...

    See my similar post/issue on this bug, and how I was able to get the Home Control slider to work...

    Visionaut: Did you have iCloud keychain enabled when you got the switch to stay in the Off position?

    Sorry for the delayed reply.  I did not have iCloud Keychain on when I had my issues...

     

    To get the Home Control switch to work right, I just had to open the Home app and enable "iCloud for Home", then the Home Control entry under the 'Allow Access When Locked' section of TouchID & Passcode settings will actually work correctly (setting the switch off is no longer wonky, and it stays the way it's been set).

     

    Odd UI behavior, for sure.  Seems to me the 'Home Control' switch there should have been either not shown or greyed-out until Home app/HomeKit was enabled, or it should have defaulted to Off not On...

    In order to disable calendar and other widgets view while iPhone is locked, go to:

    1) Home app

    2) Tap on "Turn On iCloud Keychain

    3) When you get to iCloud Keychain screen, just tap on "<iCloud" without having to actually turn it on (unless you do use it)

    4) Scroll down to Home and turn it off.

    Just wanted to add to my above response.  I discovered that you don't need to do that.  It is inaccessible when you swipe to the left UNLESS you use one of the fingerprints registered with Touch ID to unlock your phone.  If you use any unregistered finger (sounds a bit funny here), you wouldn't be able to access by swiping left. Just try it.  If that's the case, no one else would be able to see your calendar or other widgets when swiping left as well.
