Apple HomeKit is a protocol that connects smart home accessories and Apple devices. With Apple HomeKit, home control and management become simple and intuitive. Even advanced functions such as creating scenarios and automating them become easy to set up for any user, and customizing the system is convenient and comfortable.

 

 

 

Make sure that Apple simplicity and immediacy are transferred to your home system, so you can control your modules from your iPhone, iPad or just by talking to Siri.

Pair Freedompro Modules or Easykon with Apple HomeKit to get access to all these features.

Pairing

Requirements:

  • Apple Home app

  • Installed Freedompro Module

Make sure your iPhone or iPad provides an iOS 12 or higher software and is connecting to your home network’s 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, or you won't be able to pair your device with HomeKit.

Follow these steps to pair your Freedompro Module or Easykon with Apple HomeKit:

  1. Make sure your iPhone or iPad is connected to your home WiFi 

  2. Click 5 times the “Setup” button on the Freedompro Module. (not necessary for Easykon).

  3. Open the Apple Home app on your Apple device.

  4. Be sure to select the House in which you want to add the module

  5. Tap "Add accessory" or the "+"

  6. Scan the QR code printed on the front of the module

  7. Follow the directions on the screen to complete the setup 

If the QR code does not work, tap "More Options" and choose the module. Enter the code on the label and wait. You should be able to set it up in a few seconds.

Remote control: with Apple HomeKit you can manage your accessories even when you are not at home. To do this you must have an Apple TV, HomePod or iPad set up as a home hub, read how to do it on Apple's support site.

Unpair

By unpairing a Freedompro device from Apple HomeKit, the connection to Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa Home Assistant, and IFTTT will remain unaffected.

Follow the steps below to unpair a Freedompro device from Apple HomeKit:

  1. Open the app Freedompro

  2. Go to "Settings" of the selected module

  3. Click “Unpair from Apple HomeKit”

If you do not see the "Unpair from Apple HomeKit" button, it means that the product is not paired with any Apple device.
