Is Wyze Compatible With Apple Homekit?

Yes, Wyze will work. However, Wyze and Apple Homekit are not natively compatible. You can still set up a Wyze Homekit integration by using Homebridge. Homebridge allows just about any home automation system to communicate with Homekit.

All of the above Wyze products can be easily configured to work with Homekit and Siri, so let’s look at how you can do this.

Install Homebridge on your computer.

Open the Homebridge program.

Configure the plugin for the device that you are setting up.

Click the restart Homebridge button on the top right-hand side of the screen.
