@jonasmacg5 Great to hear you’re enjoying the flexibility of using both apps! Yes, when you add HomeKit-compatible devices through the Aqara Home app on iOS, they can indeed work in both Aqara Home and Apple Home simultaneously. It’s one of the perks of the ecosystem—automations in one, quick Siri toggles in the other, whatever fits your flow.
A couple of things worth noting if you want the best of both worlds: while the Apple Home app handles basic control and automation nicely, you’ll still want Aqara Home for firmware updates, adding sub-devices, and tweaking advanced settings like power-loss memory or mode switching.[“content_id”:4"]
If you ever notice device names getting out of sync between the two apps, there’s a handy name-sync feature under My > HomeKit Information > Name Sync in Aqara Home.[“content_id”:4"]
Keep sharing your setup tips—always cool to see how people blend both apps into their daily routine
