Please make sure that you have granted HomeDevices access to your HomeKit data. You can do this on the Home screen under “Your HomeDevices” in “Devices”. If you have already denied HomeDevices access in the past, you can activate the “HomeDevices” switch in the iOS settings under “Privacy” -> “HomeKit”.

We do not manually categorize the devices. We get this information directly from the HomeKit object. If, for example, a manufacturer has stored the temperature sensor as the primary service for an outlet, it will be displayed as the device category. However, this device also appears under outlets.

We check each device manually. This may take some time. If the device is not an officially HomeKit certified device, we delete it.

We cannot maintain the regions manually. For example, some devices initially launch in selected countries and are gradually rolled out further. When a device is used by a user in a region, it automatically appears as available in that region. The more users there are in your region, the more accurate the information becomes. Feel free to share HomeDevices with your friends.

You can report a device at any time using the three dots in the upper right corner. Your mail client will open with the correct email address and device name. Just write us that the device has received a new firmware and can now do more. We will then unlock the device for a re-upload.

That’s not what we developed HomeDevices for. On the one hand, we want to show you which sensors are built into a device, what can be controlled and what you can use in automations before you buy it. On the other hand, we want to show you what your own devices can do, because not every HomeKit app really shows every possibility.
