HomeKit accessories not responding All of my HomeKit accessories (Eve Outdoor Cam, smart plugs etc) mysteriously stopped responding to Home.app a couple of days ago, and the usual remedial steps—rebooting everything, resetting and re-pairing etc—have been unsuccessful. The camera streams OK but will not record or obey automations so is pretty useless. What else should I try? Has Apple changed something in HomeKit that might explain this. Chris

HomeKit won't allow me to add accessories Hello, I'm stuck. I keep getting the same error message. I have numerous accessories that work fine on HomeKit (Logitech doorbell, eve indoor camera). Then tried to add Eve outdoor cam and kept getting the massage attached. Also tried to add another TP smart switch with same effect. Actions taken: Disable 5G Reset router Linksys Velop (3 times). Also talked to support. Consulted Eve support (they said nothing they can do) Confirmed all hardware firmware up to date. Disabled homekit on router (recommended by Eve Support) What am I doing wrong?

Hi Albuslux,

If your HomeKit accessories are not responding, as they are controlled by the home hub see Set up your HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV, or iPad as a home hub:

"If your home hub isn't working as expected

Check that your HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV, or iPad is up to date.
Make sure that the user signed in to iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV is the primary Home app user, and not an invited user.
Turn on iCloud Keychain and two-factor authentication for your Apple ID.
Check that the device that you set up as a home hub is in your home, connected to your home Wi-Fi network, and powered on."

Take care
