My HVAC thermostat does not appear in Apple Home even though it shows as connected. What should I do?

It can happen that the thermostat shows a connection to Apple Home without appearing in HomeKit. To resolve this issue, check that the thermostat is not in another HomeKit location. Otherwise, perform a factory reset via the thermostat’s main menu, then restart the setup.

In some cases beyond our control, the thermostat may display a connection status to Apple Home even if it does not appear in the HomeKit app.

Here is the procedure to resolve this issue:

1. Check the thermostat’s location in HomeKit

  • Make sure the thermostat has not accidentally been placed in another of your locations (homes, rooms, etc.) during the initial setup in Apple’s Home app.

2. Perform a factory reset

  • If the thermostat does not appear in any of your HomeKit locations, a factory reset is necessary to clear the incorrect pairing data.

  6. Select “Device Reset.”

Your thermostat will restart after this procedure. You can then restart the setup and pairing process with Apple Home.
