iOS App

[Mr.D]

It's still not showing up in the App Store...?

I just received an e-mail from Thinka, they have now been certified Apple HomeKit provider. I believe they are software only... (without the mandatory chip, since it is no longer mandatory). Is there any plans on developing HomeKit compatibility? Or am I better of buying a Thinka, or trying to setup a homebridge with the KNX plugin....?

Hi,
Software-only authentication for homekit will come to ios with version 11.3 this spring - Beta 11.3 is currently available for developers. Hopefully this will make it possible to integrate this in the logic machine software. I would be very interested also.
I am one of the first users of the thinka (since 1,5 years) with homekit in combination with KNX and LM5. It works very well, robust, easy to setup and very fast (realtime). I use it to control lights, blinds, heating, fireplace... through home-app or through siri and this worldwide (i have an appletv). If you look at their website they have the thinka-module (homekitversion) again available for purchase. Now i am waiting for the apple homepod to become available in Belgium so I can control everything through siri without need for iphone or ipad.

Great to hear it works well!! Hopefully this will be an integrated part of the SpaceLynk.... The price for the Thinka, with tax to Norway is way too much. It is not worth the price, even though it would be awesome!
I think I will spend some time trying to set up the spacelynk towards homebridge. I have a Mac mini running (for no purpose) that can be used as a server, and this will be a cheaper setup I suspect homeKit integration with spacelynk will take a long time (if it will happen at all) since they recently came out with new hardware, and the old hardware will be stopped supporting after next year I think it is....? someone please correct me if I am wrong!!
