Home app works better when I’m not at home!
I’ve been struggling with my HomeKit setup since upgrading to iOS 13 last week. Whenever I open the Home app, most devices show Updating or No Response. The weird part is that the problem happens only when I’m at home. I’ve tried connecting via cellular from home, but that doesn’t seem to make a difference. I also pulled out my old Airport Express and set up a new, separate WiFi network at home, which also made no difference.
Now it gets weirder: as soon as I leave home, things start to improve. Once I get to the office and connect to their WiFi, everything works way better. It’s not perfect—I’m still getting some occasional no response issues that weren’t there before, but with a little patience, at least I can use the app.
I have about 150 HK devices and am running UniFi LR APs and a USG router. My hubs are two hardwired Apple TV’s and a HomePod.
Everything worked fine before iOS 13!
Oh, and why isn’t there a HomeKit topic on this forum?
Thanks!
