Apple has released HomeView Software 27.2 (build 24V526) as HomeView units begin arriving to some users. The build is the second 27.2 update Apple has issued for the device.
HomeView setup and current software
Customers receiving the HomeView this week will need to install a software update during the setup process. The device ships with HomeView Software 26.5, a version the company says is approximately six months old.
Planned fixes, Siri AI and security notes
Apple planned to release the HomeView earlier than November 2026 but delayed the launch so it could first debut Siri AI in iOS 27. Apple said it plans to release a HomeView software update to address a Siri AI issue that prevents Siri from controlling smart home products like locks, but that update is not expected until next month; it is likely to appear as HomeView 27.3. Update: Apple’s security support document says the software update addresses several vulnerabilities, including issues with AirPlay, Messages and Bluetooth.
