How to set up HomeKit notifications for your accessories

iPhone Door Unlocked Notification

There are certain smart home accessories that do more than turn off or change color. Devices like door locks and motion sensors are used to keep you safe and in control of your home. So it’s with good reason that accessories like these come with notifications.

If you’d like to receive an alert when your door locks or motion is detected, as examples, here’s how to set up notifications for your HomeKit devices.

Altilium alerts you of low battery a third time at a percentage you choose

If you put your iPhone through a hard days’ worth of work without any charging, then chances are you’ll eventually see the 20% and perhaps even the 10% battery remaining alerts as the handset’s battery percentage falls. Still, 20% battery is enough to get you through a solid hour of use, and many people have a tendency to dismiss these alerts until their battery level gets so low that the device finally dies.

Because of the aforementioned circumstances, iOS developer quiprr figured that it might be beneficial for iPhone users to have a third low battery level alert at a user-designated percentage. With that thought in mind, a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Altilium was conveniently conceived.
