Home app unable to control Hue lights
I’m having connectivity issues with Hue lights + HomeKit on the Deco x20 mesh network.
Brief run down:
Main Deco is plugged into router and wifi turned off on router. Internet works fine.
Hue hub is plugged into main Deco and hue app controls lights fine. Here’s the kicker, Google home also controls lights fine. Yet the Home app has the classic “No Response” on all lights. What am I missing? I know friends and family with a similar setup that seem to have it working no problem.
May or may not be of importance but I have two HomePod minis on the network which can double as hubs alongside the Hue hub. One works perfectly the other one is sketchy particularly with airplay, but then they are one of the most unreliable apple products I have ever experienced. Anyway, they are visible on the mesh network in the deco app which would suggest Apple products don’t dislike the mesh network.
I don’t know why I persist trying to find a solution when the Google Home app works so brilliantly, I liked using the home app for the Hue switch configuration and Siri integration. It was also a nice one stop shop for all my accessories to live not just Hue, but maybe this buggy problem is the final nail in the coffin for the apple “smart” ecosystem and I should move everything over to Google home.
