iOS (HomPod / Siri) 

When using Siri (iOS devices) and you modify a device in the Ness M1 
AutomationBridge, you need to make sure you re-start the service. 

 

Open the ‘Home’ app on your iOS device. 

Press the plus button at the top right of the screen. 

 

Choose Add Accessory from the menu. 

 

Open the ‘iOS’ screen in the Ness M1 AutomationBridge in the web browser on a 
computer. 

Scan the QR code that is displayed on the screen with the app on your iOS device. 

A warning message may appear. Click on ‘Add Anyway’ when prompted to do so. 

 

Continue through the setup process by pressing the next button up the top right to 
assign devices to rooms as required. 

Once this has been done, you will find your devices in the home app. This can now be 
controlled by your voice using Siri based devices.
