Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
i have the new HomeKit enabled Phillips Hue system. Siri voice control works great on my device and Apple Watch. I set up the system. I've followed the apple instructions and invited my husband to share via iCloud. It shows up successfully in Homekit on his end and it shows I'm sharing with him on my end. However, Siri can't find any devices to control. I ask her to set scene but she can't find devices.
WHat hat the heck are we doing wrong???
iPhone
Invitation Failed
Could not invite “iCloud email address” because the Apple ID is not registered with iCloud.
Tried all fixes:
removing all existing guests—DON’T DO THIS. You will be worse off than when you started
Attempted to send invite from “guest” HomeKit to the “host” HomeKit—only to find out, ironically, the the guest HomeKit didn’t recognize that the host address was registered with iCloud.
I was able to invite a test account that I set up, but once I revoked the access, I was unable to reinvite the test account.
It appears as though once you either cancel an invite or remove a guest—you cannot reinvite them.
This needs to be fixed ASAP. I had removed my wife in an attempt to add my daughter—now I am the only one who can control our “smart” home.
This is a huge issue.
This is a new bug... related to the HomeKit security bug discovered last week. Many are having the same issue. Right now we just have to wait until Apple issues a fix.
Yes, thank you. I knew about the security hole and I should have made the connection. But I'm not too embarrassed since the Apple help desk didn't know it either.
So Apple just released an update and I still cant add my wife I still get the same error. Thanks Apple!
Just installed 11.2.1 with ‘Homekit fixes’ ... no luck. Still can’t add anybody as their iCloud addresses aren’t registered with iCloud 🙄
Same here....
What did you log out of? All your devices? As in your Apple ID?
So, turn off Find my friends, etc?
It kept all your home devices when you logged back in?
Same here... Updates, reconnected... and no success.
What’s up with Apple?
Steve would have kicked some people with this bad Performance.
Could also be a MF2A issue, so will test that later tonight although apple did not suggest this as a fix.
Exactly the same issue I’m having!
I've updated both iphone 7 to the latest release 11.2.1 and still have the issue, looks like a server-side error, also open a ticket at apple and no comeback at all yet.
Just completed 11.2.1 upgrade which specifically identified this Cannot Invite issue.......AAAAAANNNNDDDD....it did absolutely nothing. Are we getting another update soon?
Feb 4, 2018, still can't invite members of my household to control the lights in their own home. :-/
Cannot share HomeKit controls
