Sharing HomeKit problem - Apple ID is not registered with iCloud problem

Me too! And I was choosing them from members of my family list. Complete with the apple id they have had for many years.

until I typed in my son’s name in the to: field and it came up with two email accounts, with one in orange.

The orange one was the @icloud wheras the one we used to use was the @me.com.

and once I selected/updated contacts to @icloud.com it all worked perfectly.

I believe I found a solution. I restored the phone to 11.2.1, deleted the beta profile and everything seems to be working fine. Hope this helps.

I am going to stay off of the beta for a while. This wasnt fun.

Ok need someone else to try this as I just fixed mine. On the guest iPhone and iPad I deleted my Philips hue apps. I then attempted to invite myself from the host iPhone and it worked instantly. Now back up and running. Just about to reinstall the Philips hue app on the first phone and iPad and hopefully I don’t run into any problems

I have been working on this since 2 weeks.... since the time I got my Ecobee3 thermostat... thanks for some of the comments here but I have not got it working :-)

Trick is, as stated in one of the post, to ensure all ur devices are on 11.2.1 (or hopefully above).

This is what I did:

- upgraded my wife mobile and her iPad to 11.2.1

- both my phones were 11.2.1

- earlier I had added the ecobee3 on my phone and I was adding her using the home app but that use to give the error “the xxxxxx@gmail.com is not registered to iCloud” and when I tried to create a home at her iPad and add myself it use to say invitation pending but I will not receive anything. Once we had all 4. Devices on 11.2.1, I removed the home from my iPhone (as the iPad was on her Apple ID) and then converted her iPad to iHub and then added the ecobee3 thermostats to her device

- then I invited myself from her iPad and got the invitation instantaneously

Now I have all 4 devices with home kit having the ability to control the thermostats

Hope this works for you guys as well..

PS: I also turned keychain ON on all devices, not sure if that helped as well but I read in some blogs that for HomeKit you need to have this turned ON.

Good Luck

Great news: I just downloaded iOS 11.2.5 Beta 2 and the bug has FINALLY been fixed. No work-around (like inviting via a user’s iCloud email, which didn’t work for me) - it just works like it’s supposed to. I’m guessing the new iOS will be pushed out to everyone in the next few days.

I had the same issue but somehow I got it fixed.

My iPhone is the main HomeKit controller and my wife's iPhone is the guest.

1) Upgrade all devices to iOS11.2.1 (but this step alone won't work immediately)

2) Remove all guests from the main controller (in my case, its mine)

3) If you have any existing invitation to a guest, cancel it

4) In the other device that was once the guest (in my case, its my wife's phone), leave the "home". You can do this by going to the bottom of the home's setting page and tap on "Remove Home"

5) Send the invite again.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I did exactly what you described to get it working. Only draw back is that my wife's phone is now the main controller and I'm a Guest in my own house!!

Finally fixed this!!

1) Update all of your devices to 11.2.1 or higher

2) Go check under iMessages and see what your receiving "@icloud" account is. My wife's iTunes account email didn't match her @icloud account, sending an invite to @icloud one fixed the issue.

No more problems!

Wish I had of read this first. I removed my husband and now can’t add him back. He was only missing a couple of new lights I had installed.....now he has nothing! Hurry up Apple and fix this.

Even after upgrading to 11.2.1, I am still getting the error that my wife’s Apple ID is not registered… Anyone else having that problem?

same issue @apple please fix your ****

Having the same problem when already upgraded to 11.2. Apple Support said that there will be another fix/upgrade properly this week

Thank you Apple for wasting my time trying to figure out what’s wrong with all of my homekit devices.

iOS 11.2 came out on December 2nd so by next update they meant iOS 11.2.1
