Another update guys.... since updating the firmware on the Nanoleaf lightstrip the 'Tile' on the iPhone has stopped giving any error messages and is working perfectly. So yesterday I put the Home widget back on the Mac desktop and configured it only to show the lightstrip and a smart plug.
So far the TM backups have been completing with the Mac locked or unlocked with the Home widget in place. I've done a lot of backup tests (Mac manually or automatically locked).
TM has been working flawlessly for 3 days, 23 hr, 40 min, and good since the Home widget was put back on the desktop 15 hr, 54 min ago.
It is still early days and I'll continue to monitor.
It is interesting to note though that my wife has had the same TM backup issues on her iMac, with the errors hitting her daily. I did reset her TM backup a couple of days ago but typically that only helped for a day or two. Since updating that firmware she has not had the TM backup error either. It could be pure coincidence but......
It does seem to make me think that it could be logical that (in my case at least):
- The Nanoleaf firmware being out of date was causing an issue within HomeKit
- That Homekit issue was common to the network and hence affected my wife's machine.
- Resolving that issue fixed the problem on both machines.
So do you guys have any Nanoleaf (or other) products sat in your Homekit systems where firmware needs updating? It might be worth checking.
As always any feedback appreciated.
