Follow the steps below if VELUX ACTIVE is installed but isn't pairing with Apple HomeKit:
First, reset the HomeKit pairing of the gateway:
- Remove the gateway from the Home app if it is in the Home app.
- Verify the smartphone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the gateway.
- Verify that the gateway is powered and that no LED is blinking at the back of the gateway.
- 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.
- Wait until the LED at the back of the gateway glows white.
Second, reconfigure the Wi-Fi access of the gateway:
- Open the VELUX app and select "Settings"
- Select "Home management"
- Select "VELUX Gateway"
- Select "Setup Wi-Fi" and follow the instructions.
Finally, pair your gateway with HomeKit:
- Open the VELUX app and select "Settings"
- Select "Home management"
- Select "VELUX Gateway"
- Select "Setup HomeKit" and follow the instructions.
