| MAWAQIT | Partly works | Partly in Home Scene switch resets instantly; Home app shows failure error | Scenes work but Home expects switch to stay on brieflySaved copyThe problem Home Assistant scenes are "exported" to Home via homekit integration as simple switches. This switches act fall back to off after activated instantly. The switches itself work fine to activate a Scene. If you setup a scene in Home on iOS and bind one home assistant (switch) scene to it they also work, but Home on iOS throws an error "Fehlgeschlagen" (German) for me. I guess this is because Home on iOS expect the switch to stay set for at least some while. I am not sure if introducing a short wait (e.g, 5 seconds) before switching back the scene switch will help. ### What is … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #47552 · 2021-03 |

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
