Set up accessories with Home on iPad

The first time you open the Home app , the setup assistant helps you create a home, where you can add accessories and define rooms. If you already created a home using another HomeKit-enabled app, you’ll skip this step.

Add an accessory to Home

Before you add an accessory such as a light or camera, be sure that it’s connected to a power source, is turned on, and is using your Wi-Fi network.

Tap Home in the sidebar, then tap .
Tap Add Accessory, then follow the onscreen instructions.
When you add an accessory, it’s assigned to a default room, or a room you choose.

You may need to scan a QR code or enter an 8-digit HomeKit setup code found on the accessory itself (or its box or documentation). A supported smart TV displays a QR code for you to scan. You can assign the accessory to a room, and give it a name, and then use this name when controlling the accessory with Siri. You can also add suggested automations during set up.

When you set up Apple TV in tvOS and assign it to a room, it automatically appears in that room in the Home app on iPad.

Change an accessory’s room assignment

In the sidebar, choose the room the accessory is currently assigned to.
If it’s not already assigned, look in Default Room.
Touch and hold the accessory’s button, then swipe up or tap .
Tap Room, then choose a room.

Turn on Include in Favorites to add the accessory to the Home screen in Home.

To rearrange your favorites, tap , tap Edit Screen, then drag the accessory buttons into the arrangement you want. Tap Done when you’re finished.

The Home app with the sidebar on the left. Under Rooms, Bedroom is selected in the sidebar. To the right of the sidebar, at the top, are the Home Settings button and Add button. The Intercom button is at the top right. A status button for a light is near the top, indicating that the light is on. Accessory buttons for bedroom lights, Apple TV, and HomePod appear below.

Organize rooms into zones

Group rooms together into a zone to easily control different areas of your home with Siri. For example, if you have a two-story home, you can assign the rooms on the first floor to a downstairs zone. Then you can say something to Siri like “Turn off the lights downstairs.”

Tap , then tap Home Settings.
Tap Zone, then tap an existing zone, or tap Create New to add the room to a new zone.

Edit a room

You can change a room’s name and wallpaper, add the room to a zone, or remove the room. When you remove the room, the accessories assigned to it move to Default Room.

Tap , then tap Room Settings.
Tap a room, then make your changes.
