Some Eufy products work with Apple HomeKit, but the list is shorter than Eufy’s marketing implies and the rules are fiddly. HomeKit works on a specific slice of Eufy’s older cameras (paired with a HomeBase 2), the current eufyCam S3 Pro, the E30/E31/C34 smart locks, and three newer devices that shipped through the first half … Read more
Yes – Philips Hue works with Apple HomeKit as long as you’ve got a second-generation Hue Bridge (the square one). The Bridge talks to Hue’s Zigbee bulbs and exposes them to the Home app, which gives you on/off, dimming, color, Adaptive Lighting, scenes, and Siri control. Bluetooth-only Hue bulbs with no Bridge won’t show up … Read more
Yes – but only on the Kasa products that ship with Matter. TP-Link spent years refusing to pay Apple’s MFi tax, which is why Kasa was Alexa-and-Google country for most of its life.

If you’re buying Arlo expecting iCloud-stored clips, that’s not … Read more
No. Ring does not work with Apple HomeKit – not through Matter, not through Apple’s HomeKit Accessory Protocol, not at all. Amazon owns Ring, and Amazon runs its own smart home ecosystem around Alexa. Apple is the direct competitor. That was true the day Amazon closed the acquisition in 2018, and it is still true … Read more
No. Google Nest does not support Apple HomeKit. They are products from competing companies – Google and Apple – and neither has any interest in making their ecosystems play nicely with each other. That said, there are a couple of legitimate paths to get some Nest devices into Apple Home. Whether those paths are worth … Read more
A red light on a Blink camera almost always means one of three things: the batteries are dying, the Wi-Fi can’t reach it, or the camera is in setup mode and confused. Which one depends on the model and the exact flash pattern. Here’s how to tell them apart. Last updated: May 2026. Verified against … Read more
