I have 2 houses which have home automation devices. How can I control both homes when traveling. It seems I can only control the home I am currently at.

HomeKit - New architecture - Two homes on the same network Hello, I have 2 HomeKit homes in the same network. One for one door opener system and one for everything else. In the old architecture both my HomePod mini and Apple TV would act as hubs for both homes. However in the new architecture, it appears that a hub is limited to just one home. How can I add hub on the 2nd home ? I really need to create 2 homes because I have a guest house (on the same network) and I need to invite people to control only 1 one door opener.

HomeKit location user not available Hello from Greece, I’m highly dissatisfied with iOS 16.2’s function on HomeKit. In specific, after update I couldn’t add my wife as second user/resident in our HomeKit. Finally I managed it but now location function does not work. I mean that all menus, options and location settings are turned on however we have some automation where do work when the last person leaves home. Unfortunately this is not happening. Moreover I noticed that when I work the HomeKit with my phone, with my account everything seems working good. When I check the same with my wife’s phone, HomeKit says that my location is not available despite I have it always turned on. I hope I’m being understood and somebody might be help me out. thanks, Dimitri

Tap the circle with the three dots at the top right of the Home app home screen. Select the home you want to control in the drop down menu.
