Keeping a Levoit smart humidifier and air purifier lets you maintain a clean and comfortable home environment. If you wish to control your Levoit device using an iPhone or iPad, then you should integrate the device into Apple HomeKit. However, Levoit devices don’t natively support HomeKit integration. This guide shows the steps to link Levoit devices to HomeKit using the HOOBS app.
Steps to Integrate Levoit Devices with HomeKit via HOOBS
Ensure your HOOBS device is powered on and connected to a wireless network. A red LED light indicates the power is on. Once your HOOBS device is connected to the network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, the LED will turn green.
1. Download the HOOBS App: Download the HOOBS on a PC from the official website and complete the login process.
2. Navigate to Plugins: Once logged in, click on the Plugins tab within the HOOBS dashboard and look for the Levoit plugin.
3. Click Install: Select the Levoit plugin from the search results and hit Install. Once installed, locate the plugin in your HOOBS dashboard and click on Configure to begin the setup.
4. Enter Configuration Details: You’ll need to enter your VeSync credentials here, as VeSync is the official app for controlling Levoit devices. If you don’t have a VeSync account, download the VeSync app from the App Store and set up an account.
5. Save the Configuration: After entering the configuration details, click on Save to store your settings. Restart the HOOBS device to apply the configuration.
6. Open the Home App: Open the Home app on your iPhone and hit the + icon.
7. Add Accessory: Choose Add Accessory and scan the QR code on the HOOBS app assigned for the Levoit device.
8. Assign Device Names and Locations: Follow the on-screen prompts to give each Levoit device a unique name and specify its location within your home for easier voice control.
9. Complete Setup: Once you’ve named and assigned locations for each device, tap Done to complete the integration process.
