I am calling InvokeCommand on a MTRBaseDevice I received from HomeKit. The device receiving the command is using Matter 1.3 and is expecting a Boolean State Configuration new to that version of the spec. That may be the reason why I get the following error: MTRInteractionErrorDomain Code=133 "The cluster command is malformed, has missing fields, or fields with invalid values.Command not carried out." I am sending the following as the commandField parameter: ["type": "UnsignedInteger", "value": 1] When I look into those values more deeply, the value is specified as an NSNumber holding an Int16 value of 1. I created the NSNumber using a Uint8(1). The docs suggest this should result in an NSNumber treated as an unsigned char, but the debugger reports it as a Int16. I tried changing the type in the command field to "SignedInteger" and this had no effect on the error I receive. So I suppose the problem could also be that my parameters always get a signed value when an unsigned value is expected. Is this something I can correct using the current APIs, or do I need to wait for Matter 1.3 support?

I use Homepod Mini as the gateway and have bound 9 Matter lights and 7 Matter switches. Each of my switches has 12 buttons, and each button supports three functions: single click, double click, and long press. Therefore, a total of 252 actions can be configured for 7 * 12 * 3. Currently, a total of 71 actions are configured for the 7 Matter switches. When configuring the 72nd action, the app will prompt that the operation cannot be completed. But if you delete a few previously configured actions, such as 68 actions, then you can configure 3 more actions (69, 70, 71). However, as long as you configure the 72nd action, the app will prompt that the operation cannot be completed, as if the available space is occupied. What is the reason for this?

I want to create automations when the first person comes Home. When Setting up the Automation on the owner device everything seems to be correct. Yet the Automation doesn‘t Wort properly. my girlfriend is listed as admin. when she has a Look at the Automation, the Location of my phone is unknown. the issue is that this leads To the following behaviour. When i come House the Automation Checks if my girlfriend is Home. All Good. When my Grilfriend comes Home the Automation doesn‘t Check where i am But directly execut the Automation.

My device is a Matter switch with 12 buttons, but its physical buttons do not correspond to the button icons displayed in the Apple Home App. The mapping between them is chaotic, for example, physical button 1 is mapped to button icon 3, and physical button 2 is mapped to button icon 7, without any pattern. And every time the factory settings are restored and the network is reconfigured, the mapping will be different from the last time, and restoring the factory settings will change it again. I have checked my program and I am certain that the events triggered by physical buttons correspond correctly to the Matter Generic Switch Endpoint in the ZCL file. I don't understand why there was such a mistake. I am using GSDK 4.4.1, Silicon Labs Matter 2.2.1-1.2. I asked the manufacturer of the chip (the staff of Silicon Labs), and they said that the corresponding order displayed on the app is determined by the APP side, and has nothing to do with Matter devices, is this a problem caused by Apple's system, and if so, is there any solution?

The ESP-Homekit-SDK tool provides the payload. How do we convert it into the actual QR image with the artwork? We have already checked the handbooks but couldn’t find any tool to generate the QR code with actual artwork. I can only see the "Setup Code Sizing and Placement" guidelines for it.

Recently I started getting emails from AppStoreConnect when I submit new builds. The email states: ITMS-90863: Macs with Apple silicon support issue - The app links with libraries that aren’t present in macOS: /usr/lib/swift/libswiftHomeKit.dylib I can run this app on Apple Silicon from TestFlight or directly from Xcode and it runs just fine including all HomeKit functions. This app has been using HomeKit for several years now. This issue seems to be the same kind of this other about CloudKit, but with HomeKit libs: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756325 Please, how it can be fixed? Many thanks.

Hi, We are using Apple VAS and ECP2 certified NFC readers. What process will we need to follow to issue NFC-based keys so that we can provide an access control use case? Any help in this regard will be much appreciated. Thanks, Aweliv

Hello fellow developers, I’m developing a smart standing desk under my brand Beflo, which integrates technology with traditional furniture. As part of this, we’re working to make our Tenon smart desk compatible with the Apple HomeKit ecosystem. While exploring HomeKit profiles, I noticed there isn’t a specific profile for standing desks. However, there are similar profiles, such as curtains, which also use motors for operation and could align with our product's functionality, like height adjustments. I have a few questions: What is the process for proposing or applying for a new product profile in HomeKit? Is it feasible to adapt an existing profile (like curtains) in the interim while awaiting approval for a new profile? Has anyone had experience navigating this process, and are there any best practices or resources you recommend? I’d love to hear insights from anyone who has experience with HomeKit development or working on similar product integrations. Thank you for your time and guidance!

I'm trying to browse my Homekit accessories and try to show the different accessories communication protocols, i.e. Wifi, Thread, Zigbee, Z-wave! Zigbee and Z-wave I can have hard-coded depending on model because I have so few! But…. I can easily find all accessories which are wifi attached by using: isBriged == false and uniqueIdentifiersForBridgedAccessories == nil However, I can see that some of the accessories are thread enabled (I have read the documentation for the accessory) but still in the list. So, my questions: Are there any attributes in the accessory that is unique for a Thread accessory? for accessory in accessories { if(accessory.isBridged == false && accessory.uniqueIdentifiersForBridgedAccessories == nil ) { // Can be a Wifi device but need more controls // requiresThreadRouter??? if (true) { wifiAccessaries.append(accessory) } } }

I'm trying to develop an app to control HomeKit accessories in a way not available so far in macOS. How can I work around the absence of HomeKit Support for macOS in Xcode 16? Thanks!

target to mac，it seems not to be able to tried on ios，“import homekit”，but didnt find my device-homepod mini，which is new one with upgraded version
