Does the Logitech Circle 2 work with HomeKit?

The Logitech Circle 2 is, by far, the best camera to use with your HomeKit setup. The setup process is simple, with just a quick scan of the included HomeKit code. The camera is rock solid, motion notifications are reliable and accurate, and the camera's view is available in the Home app for iOS. For additional features, such as cloud storage, you can set up the camera with Logitech's Circle App if desired.

Just make sure you get the wired version, as the battery-operated version does not work with HomeKit.

Adding your Logitech Circle 2 to Apple HomeKit is as simple as finding your HomeKit setup code and tapping a few buttons in the Home app for iOS. Here's how to get everything set up!

1. Launch the Home app for iOS.
2. Tap the Add Accessory button in the top right corner of the screen (looks like a plus sign).
3. Tap Add Accessory.

4. Scan the HomeKit setup code to begin the pairing process.
   • If you can't find your HomeKit setup code in the quick start guide, you can also find it printed on the back of your Logitech Circle 2 camera.
5. Provide a name and assign a room for your HomeKit accessory if desired.
6. Tap Done
