eero Pro 3 pack HOMEKIT compatibility

Just fyi.. eero has been saying ‘...eero 6 line of product is just awaiting processing from Apple’ for months now with no update.

cnewman that’s because Eero is waiting for Apple to finish the certification. Eero has no control over that, and it usually takes 6-9 months for ALL devices to get HomeKit  certification from Apple. 

Richard1864 thank you Richard for the reply. First as well know eero has no control over apple certification process or the length of time it will take to gain such certification. In the 3+ months that I’ve owned a eero 6 pro, you are the first person (including eero employees) that has given any indication of a timeline for certification. I suppose eero is playing it safe to not give any false hope certification timeline. However, as time goes on and not getting any ‘official’ statements from eero makes me really wonder if certification is really happening. Or eero trying to put the carrot in front of the horse, for more sales with the ‘hope’ of possible apple homekit certification. No news is good news?!? 

Richard thank you for your reply. I seriously hope you are correct with your timeline.

cnewman you’re welcome and thanks for the compliment. I called Apple and got passed to a Tier 2 tech (Sara)) who gave me the timeline. The new Eero 6 hardware first has to be approved by Apple for HomeKit, and then Apple works with Eero to create firmware for the Eero’s AND the Eero app so that the Eero’s can connect and work with HomeKit and the multitude of HomeKit devices. Unfortunately that process takes a while…Sara said last she heard the upcoming Eero firmware 6.2 may give us HomeKit but she wouldn’t make any promises.  And that’s all I know for now.
