| HomeKit Controller | Works Local | Since 2016, few issues; mostly local control via HomeKit ControllerSaved copyHad a Tado smart thermostat since 2016, only ever had issue with it once or twice. Integrates with HA, can do mostly local control via HomeKit Controller. Had Philips Hue since 2016, same bulbs in quite a few places. Rarely see any issues now, it had a few at the beginning, but reliability had been about 100% for a few years now. Both are quite expensive for what they are, but my own experience has been good. Nearly everything else “smart” has come and gone in the same time period. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2023-01 | |
| HomeKit Controller | Works Local | Local via HomeKit; Tado cloud integration drops when connection goes down (2 users)Saved copyTado works locally via HomeKit. It also has a cloud integration with more features (mainly the cloud features, like Home/Away and Window Open Sensor, which you don't really need). Works perfect for me. You will have to set it up via the Tado app though I think. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2023-04 | |
| HomeKit Controller | Partly works Local | Partly in Home Local HomeKit works without Apple gear but lacks features such as temperature offsets | Cloud API now rate-limited; HomeKit local option lacks sensors, offsets and has delayed updatesSaved copyThe local API has almost none of the functionality (not their fault entirely, but the could off vendor-specific clusters for stuff not (yet) in the Homekit or Matter specifications).

| Tado (official cloud API) | Partly works Cloud | Cloud API limited to 100 calls/day for new terms; HomeKit alternative has fewer featuresSaved copyYeah, no. The official integration has much, much more to offer in terms of sensors. In addition, and most importantly for people such as myself, the Homekit functionality doesn't let you adjust the temperature offsets to ensure everything stays accurate. https://preview.redd.it/woncbi4hrxnf1.png?width=774&format=png&auto=webp&s=faabba308d7692bf33d1e97a4c7b7398a610b82c Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2025-09 |

In ReReHome
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.
