Cisco 5508 WLC and Apple HomeKit & Philips HUE System

Hello everybody

Want to know if Apple Homekit and Philips HUE systems will work well in combination with the Cisco WLC 5508 environment. Which mDNS / Bonjour parameters need to be set?

Thanks

Rene

it's work, I use it in my home. Phillip Hue dose not support 5Ghz, that SSID must be used 2.4Ghz for discover Phillip Hue and Apple Devices.

Hi, could you please be more specific about 5Ghz? Hue bridge is connected via cable, iphone is connected to the same subnet via AP. Hue app from iphone can control all lights but SIRI control is not working because hue cannot be added to apple home kit. And that is happening because apple relies on bonjour which likes devices to be on the same broadcast domain while when using WLC+AP you have some tunneling involved. I'm really bad but multicast and tried to setup some proxy but had no luck there. So if you have workign setup would be nice to see it but for some reason I think you incorrectly interpreted original question.
