Linksys Velop breaks Apple Home Kit integration promise

Does NOT work with Apple Home Kit if you have 6 nodes. I had an open ticket with Linksys for 5 months and gave up. I certainly contributed to the three levels of tech support as they tested multiple versions of the firmware with me as a guinea pig. Each time I had to reconfigure the home setup and reconnect all my devices. They advertised Home Kit support for over a dozen devices on their marketing blogs and websites, but were unable to test the Home Kit app after adding more than 5 devices (this is where Homekit fails). I have a refund request from the corporation and I hope they do the right thing. If I didn't need Home Kit support, I would go with the faster WiFi 6 options offered by Linksys and others. I approached Velop specifically for integration with the Home Kit, but they failed. I've learned my lesson not to trust marketing when they say "support" something.

Pros
  • Not compatible with Velop AX WiFi 6 nodes (only suitable for dual-band and tri-band AC Velop models, see product description below for full list)
Cons
  • Almost OK
