temperature automation
Hi,
Does anyone knows when it will be possible to set an temperature based automation in Homekit?
Now it's only possible with motion
That limits the usability of Homekit
Thanks
Sven

Hi Sven
I assume you were using the Apple Home app, I've noticed its not possible in Home.
May I suggest you attempt setting up your temperature automation using the Elgato Eve app. I have been able to setup a basic automatic using an Elgato Eve Room temperature sensor and Phillips Hue lights: when the temperature goes above 26 degrees turn on a light and make it red.
Regards
Tim

I am using the Elgato Eve app to automate devices based on temp and humidity and I am having zero luck with it. With every rule created the trigger is completely ignored. Through the app and even homekit I can see that the eve degree is registering proper humidity and temp but when conditions are met scenes are never activated. I have an apple tv 4k as the hub which has been restarted several times. I have configured rules in the eve app to be minimal as possible. Even went as far to restore the eve degree itself. I should mention that I use hue lights, an ecobee 3, and an eve motion sensor. All work as intended and devices respond the way they should to rules. Currently, the Eve Degree is an $80 temperature/humidity/pressure sensor. I know this is a very unique problem to me as I have found nothing on this issue anywhere else. Help is much appreciated.
Same here , al the rules I setup in Eve app are not working , the ones setup in Homekit are working just fine
I set up a rule in Eve to power on a heater ( with eve energy) when temperature drops below 18° celsius between 6 pm and 6 am , I appears in Homekit but never works , frustrating
I hope the other sensors than motion will be accepted by Homekit instead of working around with Eve
