Can I control my Apple HomeKit devices when I am not connected to the internet?

Asked a year ago
No, in order to control your Apple HomeKit devices, you need to be connected to the internet. Apple HomeKit devices rely on a stable internet connection to function properly and enable remote access. This means that if you are not connected to the internet, you will not be able to control or interact with your HomeKit devices remotely. However, you can still access and control your devices locally through your home Wi-Fi network if the internet connection is unavailable. It is recommended to have a reliable internet connection for seamless access and control of your Apple HomeKit devices from anywhere, at any time.
