How can I reset my Apple HomeKit pairing when I am not using the VELUX ACTIVE app?

1 min. readlast update: 12.10.2025

When resetting the Apple HomeKit pairing of the VELUX gateway, the following will be removed:

- The Wi-Fi connection between the gateway and the router
- The pairing between the Apple HomeKit and the gateway

The pairing of VELUX sklights and skylight shades, sensors, and departure switch will remain unchanged. 

To perform a Apple HomeKit reset: 

- Press and hold the button marked with the gear icon
- When the LED blinks red, release the button and press it once again quickly to confirm the reset
- The gateway will now reset and reboot automatically
- When the LED blinks white, the gateway is ready for a new HomeKit pairing
- Open the HomeKit app and add the VELUX gateway as a new accessory
