Hi Lars, thank you for your understanding and we appreciate your engagement. We are currently working on informing all users about HomeKit, unfortunately this will also take some time. The upcoming update will close the HomeKit feature for new devices. We are currently focusing on implementing HomeKit for existing devices and we have the firmware ready but we need to work out the SMALL details with Apple. Unfortunately, Apple during the holiday period is not very responsive so the whole process is prolonged.
Dear Lars,
I think we are more open and transparent than any other IoT company. We updated you with:
So I think we are giving you a lot of information. We cannot give you exact date because in most cases:
As you can see above the public release is in progress and you will see it soon (few weeks), it will be connected with other announcements and this is why it is delayed. I can promise you that HomeKit will be delivered to all of you in this quarter. Thank you for your patience.
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.
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.

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 David,
I cannot find your request to join the Beta program, are you sure you filled the form? There is no request with csdb@mac.com email. All testers received confirmation email this Monday and the group is closed now, sorry. But do not wary, soon we will release preview version for our existing locks.
Hi Konrad,
Are you still going to send test units as it was previously arranged ?
Please note I had some trouble with my previous username and password and I had to recreate a profile.
Can you please check if I am still enrolled in the Beta testing program and in the test unit process ?
Thank you
