Hey eufy fans,
We read your comments, and we’re here to provide solutions for those of you who manage devices through HomeKit, particularly Indoor Cam users (we’re sorry we kept you waiting). We hope that you find the following information relevant and helpful.
First, what is Homekit
HomeKit is a framework that links smart home products together. It lets you control smart home products using apps on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Which eufy Security products are compatible with HomeKit?
HomeKit is compatible with eufyCam 2/2Pro and eufyCam 2C/2C Pro, as well as Indoor Cam 2K Pan & Tilt (Solo IndoorCam P24) and Indoor Cam 2K (Solo IndoorCam C24).
(Please see the next section for more details).
Can I use HomeKit without the eufy Security App?
It depends, but there’s an easy way to check. Look at the QR code on your eufy Security product.
If you see the Home logo, you can use the Home app to scan the QR code and follow the instructions to connect your eufy Security product. For a step-by-step guide, please read this Apple support article
If you don’t see the Home logo, you can still use the Home app after an easy set-up process with the eufy Security app. You only need to do this once, and you can use the Home app to control eufy Security products when finished. For more information, please read this support article: How to Setup HomeKit for HomeKit-Enabled Security Devices.
