Lars I moved the conversation to separate thread: HomeKit comunication issue (Lars) : Tedee (freshdesk.com)
We have good news, we end this part of mobile beta program with great result and we want to thank you all who participated in it.
Changes that we have introduced during this period was included in newest mobile app version 1.116.0 .
In the mean time, we will be not updating our mobile beta builds so we advice to update to the newest version from the store and stay tuned for updates about HomeKit integration.
In near future we will start next part of HomeKit beta testing.
The HomeKit support for new locks was released:
HomeKit for new locks [DONE]:
We still waiting for certification result from Apple (for existing locks), should be known in next 2 weeks.
HomeKit for existing locks:
Same here Konrad.
I have been wondering how the HomeKit process will work for existing lock as we do not have "Homekit IDs".
Are you going to issue and send an "Homekit ID" for each existing Tedee lock (already sold and installed) ?
This is important if we want to sell our locks in a few years.
Please describe the process.
Best regards
David
Hi Lars,
I didn't post an update quite long, sorry for that, we were fully focused on HomeKit certification. So what is the plan. There will be two updates first for new Tedee Locks and this one is almost done. Because this update will be the biggest one and most difficult in our history, we just want to 'properly' celebrate this as a company :) Please follow us and soon you should see the public release.
The second update is for existing locks. Here we still waiting for certification. The firmware is almost the same but Apple has few additional constrains. Unfortunately it is taking little longer than we expected.

HomeKit for existing locks:
Hey, indeed, HomeKit is near... but still a few more weeks to go.
Hey Lars,
it works well, and it works perfectly well on iOS 15 Beta version. It looks like Apple has improved Home App by far. We're close, very close... almost there :)
Best, Andrzej
Hi Lars,
This division is enforced by Apple. From user perspective both locks will have the same features the only difference will be how user will add such lock to Home.
