Ratings and Reviews
Should run on Apple TV
Since step one is to place the iPhone running this app next to the HomeKit hub, and a hub is (typically) an Apple TV the app should just run natively on the Apple TV and send it’s data to the iPhone app as the companion. I get you can use the Apple Watch as the companion to the iPhone, but the iPhone’s Bluetooth performance could be different from the actual hub’s Bluetooth performance.
Developer Response ,
Hi, we are looking into this as a possibility, but built this originally just an iOS/Watch combo to cover the cases of iPads, and HomePods as well as the Apple TV.
Sending data over to the iPhone from a Apple TV would be doable, just highly complex which could introduce issues overall into the reliability of the system
Best app for sorting out Homekit Bluetooth troubles
HomeScan was built specifically to help customers who are struggling with their HomeKit Bluetooth accessories to figure out what’s going wrong. Bluetooth 4 range is much lower than wifi which can result in people placing their BLE devices too far away and then complaining that it doesn’t work.
HomeScan can help you figure out if you’re out of range and gives you the info you need to really optimize your installation. The Apple Watch app is also sweet as you can walk around and use your combined devices to plan your installation.
If you want to get the most out of your Smart house and your using Bluetooth accessories - this app is a must have.
