To set up your Smart Thermostat with HomeKit, you need the HomeKit-enabled Internet Bridge that comes with the Starter Kit V3 or newer versions. If you own a Starter Kit V2, you can replace your existing Bridge with the HomeKit-enabled Internet Bridge. The Internet Bridge can be purchased from our webshop.

If you already have an earlier version of the Bridge installed, you can upgrade to your new HomeKit-enabled Internet Bridge in three easy steps

  1. In the app, select Settings > Rooms & Devices > Add device. Select Bridge (replacement) and register the device by simply scanning the QR code on the back of the device or the sticker attached.

  2. Disconnect the old Bridge and connect the Ethernet and USB cable to the new Internet Bridge.

  3. When the new Internet Bridge has connected to the Internet, all installed devices will reconnect to the new Bridge automatically. This can take up to 45 minutes. Please make sure the new Internet Bridge stays connected during this time. Do not reconnect the old Bridge.
