Hi,
I'm using the iPhone 8 plus, and doing some home automation stuff with the Home app.
However, when I try to setup remote access, I realize that there's no 'Home' settings in the settings app to "allow remote access"
I also have this problem with my iPad Air (1st generation)
All my devices are running ios11.
I've already toggled the keychain and reset my devices.
Anyone has a solution or encountered anything similar.
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 11.2.2
Hey Alexm87, thanks for responding!
I'm aware of the solutions, my problem is that I don't have a home hub set up!
I have a 2nd gen Apple TV so I couldn't use that, my solution was to use my iPad air (1st gen) as my home hub since it rarely leaves the house.
To set up my iPad as the home hub I need to access the Homekit setting in the settings menu, and the Homekit settings is missing in the setting menu.
This is my problem. There is no Home settings on my iPad, as seen in the picture below.
Allow remote access and edit permissions for users
If you set up a home hub, you can manage remote access and edit permissions for people that you invite to control your home. If you don't have a home hub set up, they can only control your accessories while they're at your home, connected to your home Wi-Fi network, and within range of your HomeKit accessories.
To manage remote access and change permissions for a person, invite the person to control your home. Then follow these steps:
- Open Home and tap
.
- Tap the person that you want to edit permissions for.
- Set the following access for your user:
- Allow Remote Access: Turn on to allow users to control your accessories from any location. Turn off to allow users to only control your accessories while they're at your house.
- Allow Editing: Turn on to allow them to add and remove accessories, scenes, and other users.
If you want to remove a person, tap
Automate and remotely access your HomeKit accessories
Take care.Hey,
I have done all of this...multiple times actually to no avail.
Signed out and restarted and this is what my settings look like
There should be home setting under News on the left side. In order to use the iPad as a hub. It's still missing.
