HomeKit accessories only available on some devices
I’ve been having issues with HomeKit for awhile now, a phone call with support got it working last week but it’s once again breaking down. Basically, only a handful of iOS devices can actually control HomeKit accessories, with the rest just showing every accessory “updating” forever. My network setup, if it matters: modem operating in bridge mode to an AirPort Extreme supplying DHCP and NAT services. An airport express is connected by ethernet to extend the network to the upper floor of the house. Current statuses:
Home owner Apple ID devices:
iPhone 11 Pro: HomeKit working
iPad Pro 3rd gen: all updating
Late 2018 Mac Mini: all updating
4K Apple TV: HomeKit working
4th gen Apple TV: HomeKit working
HomePod mini 1: can’t access HomeKit devices
HomePod mini 2: can’t access HomeKit devices
HomePod mini 3: HomeKit working
Home guest devices:
iPhone 8 Max: all updating
iPad Pro 3rd gen: all updating
2020 MacBook Pro: all updating
Again, which devices are and aren’t working seems to fluctuate, for example last night two of the three HomePods were working. This has been going on for about a month, before that HomeKit was working flawlessly for nearly a year.
