Why are my homekit devices constantly going offline?
Have always had occasional spottiness with a few homekit devices, but lately its going bonkers with most devices constantly going offline/online, sometimes in the same minute multiple times. Cameras are the most notorious, but even our few WeMo plugs are losing connection when they didn't used to.
Devices:
1 Logitech doorbell (was always spotty)
2 Logitech Circle View cams (usually reliable)
3 WeMo Smart Plugs (usually reliable)
1 WeMo Smart Light switch (solid)
HomeKit Hubs:
3 Apple TV 4K
2 Homepods
2 Homepod minis
Wifi network:
Netgear orbi, 3 stations mesh - sits in bridge mode behind Airport Extreme (main router)
Other wireless, but should not be a factor:
Philips Hue bridge and devices
Nest thermostat & smoke alarms
Insteon hub and light switches throughout house - looking to replace, but they are rock solid reliable. Just can't say "Hey siri" to them.
Questions:
- Is anyone experiencing recent, rampant HomeKit unreliability?
- Does one device instability affect others?
- Are more hubs always better?
- Is Wifi the big factor, or bluetooth? (e.g. try a different Wifi setup?)
- Are "thread" enabled Homekit devices the silver bullet?
- Does anyone have a fully homekit enabled house, and happy with it?
Sorry if this is the wrong topic/device - not work where "HomeKit" category is.
