I’m still new to apple home, it took me like an hour to get my Aqara u400 lock up and running.

I have a Kwikset halo select plus. It’s a WiFi/ matter lock. For the life of me, I can’t get that one to connect to my home.

In the app, u switch it from WiFi to matter. It goes into pairing mode with a pink/purple blinking light. But for some reason, I can’t get the home app to connect.

Anyone have similar issues or a good work around?

Hardwired Apple TV. As my router.

I’m a complete noob to all this. So bear with me.

We are iPhone user obviously and we just bought a house. I wanted to start things the right way with an Apple TV as the hub but the rumors of one coming out soon has me waiting.

So far I have a

Kwikset halo select- WiFi/matter version

Aqara u400 lock

A hunter smart fan on matter/wifi

And I just got the Aqara M100 router

I setup the Aqara hub and lock in the Aqara app nicely But when it comes time to go into the home app it gets all weird.

I feel like the app is mad I don’t have a appletv or HomePod. So it’s not allowing me to add my wife into the home. I can’t get my Kwikset lock or fan to connect.

Do I really need a HomePod or AppleTv?
