Homekey not showing up on Apple Watch

Hello,

I added my U200 lock to the M3 Hub, then added it to Apple home. The homekey showed up on my phone and works fine.

However it doesn’t show in the wallet of my apple watch, neither does show me an option to add it, only my bank cards.

Everything is updated (phone, watch, lock). What am I missing?

Do I need a home pod for this to work?

On your iPhone open the Watch app and navigate to Wallet & Apple Pay, scroll to the bottom and be sure you have selected Mirror my iPhone. Look in the same list for the “Other Cards on your Watch” and make sure the Home Key shows in that menu.

@srl77411 thank you for responding. I have mirror my iPhone enabled. However I do not not see the homekey under other cards on your phone. I don’t have a section called other cards on your watch

Try shutting down both the watch and iPhone and restarting both and let them both restart on the network together and sync. I would also do the same with your Apple Home Hubs (ATV, HomePod etc). Be sure they are all on the latest updated software (no betas).

Hi, what Apple Watch version do you have? Maybe there´s a conflict about a too old Apple Watch or a too old Iphone and not the same version of iOS / watchOS is running on your devices

I don’t have an apple hub, I’m using the m3. Could that be the reason?

iPhone 16 pro and ultra 3 so I don’t think that’s the issue.

Restarting didn’t do anything. Neither did resetting everything again.

Nope, you normally should be able transfer the homekey from your iPhone to your Apple Watch without need a Apple hub… but maybe they changed something in their system.
this seems for me an Apple related issue instead of an Aqara issue

I could be wrong but I was always under the impression an Apple Home Hub was required in order to process the HomeKey process (handshake) between the lock and iPhone or Watch.

I could have been misunderstanding this, maybe someone from @Aqara can chime in and shed light on your question.

Hello @rs629261
For Apple Homekey to work, you need an Apple hub.

Homekey already works on my iPhone, it just doesn’t work on the watch.

Its why I bought an M3 hub instead of and Apple hub. This is confusing

In case anyone runs into this in the future. Homekey on the phone will work with an aqara hub, but for the watch to work you also need an apple hub.

Added a homepod mini to my house yesterday and reset things, the homekey showed up on the watch automatically
