Adding Accessories
To add an accessory to the Home app, use your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. You can’t
add accessories to the Home app on Mac. Before you set up your accessory, check these
things first:
•
Make sure that it’s powered on and nearby.
•
Check your accessory’s manual to see if it needs additional hardware to work
with HomeKit.
Then follow these steps:
1.
Open the Home app and tap Add Accessory (+).
2.
Use your camera on your device to scan the eight-digit HomeKit code, or QR code
on the accessory or accessory documentation.
3.
When your accessory appears, tap it. If asked to Add Accessory to Network, tap
Allow.
4.
Name your accessory and assign it to a room to help you identify it in the Home
app and control it with Siri.
5.
Tap Next, then tap Done.
Some accessories, speakers, and smart TVs might require software updates or
additional setup with the manufacturer’s app.
Troubleshooting Adding an Accessory
If you can’t add an accessory to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, update your device to
the latest iOS version.
To use and manage your home in the Home app on all of your devices, sign in to iCloud
with your Apple ID on every device. Then turn on iCloud Keychain and Home in iCloud
Settings.
