The wall-mounted Apple HomeView ships without a mount or a power adapter, and the wrong adapter can leave the display showing a Not Enough Power warning. It needs a USB-C cable and a USB-C power adapter rated at 20W or higher that supports 9V at 2.22A or higher.
Apple sells a compatible option, the 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max, and it works with both HomeView models. Plenty of USB-C chargers already sitting in a drawer may fall short on voltage or wattage, so check the ratings printed on the charger before reusing one.
The countertop HomeView needs 30W and the wall-mounted model needs 20W
The countertop HomeView comes with a cable and an adapter in the box, so most buyers never need to think about this. If you lose the adapter or want a spare, replace it with a USB-C cable and a USB-C adapter that delivers at least 30W and supports 15V at 2A or higher.
The wall-mounted model has a lower bar at 20W and 9V at 2.22A, but nothing is included. The cable and the adapter are both sold separately, which adds cost on top of the mount.
Some mounts connect straight to household wiring
Depending on the mount, the wall-mounted HomeView can run from a separate cable and adapter or connect to line power, which means it is hardwired into the home’s electrical system. Three Schneider Home mounts are available. The Power Mount USB-C Wall Connector starts at $59.95 and the Power Mount AC Wired starts at $79.95, and both can be ordered now. The Power Mount PoE Wired costs $129.95 and arrives in early 2027.
ADT offers professional installation for the wall-mounted model in most areas. If the warning appears after a professional installation, the installer is the first call to make.
Not Enough Power warnings usually trace back to the adapter, cable, or outlet
When power falls short, the screen shows the warning along with a lightning bolt and a yellow exclamation triangle. Work through these steps in order and check the screen after each one.
- Make sure the power adapter is firmly plugged in and undamaged.
- Unplug the adapter and the cable, wipe the adapter, the port on the display, and both ends of the cable with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth, then plug everything back in firmly.
- Plug the adapter into a different outlet that powers another appliance.
- Try a different USB-C cable and a compatible USB-C adapter.
On the wall-mounted model, you can also take the display off its mount and plug it straight into a compatible adapter with a USB-C cable. If it powers on without the warning, the problem sits with the mount, and the mount maker or installer is the next call.
Setup needs an iPhone running iOS 27.2 or later or an iPad running iPadOS 27 or later, and only the Resident (Owner) of the home in the Home app can set HomeView up.
