Apple Home and Somfy integration: Automatization stopped to work after update

PROBLEM: after update all outdoor blinds are not responding to the automation of Apple Home nevertheless blinds can be controlled from Apple Home app.

Can you help with this? I also know that this problem occurs to other users.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

Homekit automations and scenes broken with Somfy Tahoma blinds I have been using Somfy Tahoma outdoor blinds with an official Homekit support. Everything works relatively fine when controlling blinds with Siri or directly in Home app. But there are two major issues: 1) Automations that include blinds stops executing after like a second. It starts executing (i.e. closing the blind), but stops immediately. When I run the same command through Siri/Home app, it runs well (except the tilt horizontal angle, see below). It's so frustrating, because Homekit is totally useless for controlling blinds. 2) Blinds tilt horizontal angle - it works just randomly through Homekit. Sometimes it changes the tilt angle right, sometimes it does nothing, sometimes it does the opposite (i.e. closing the tilt instead of opening and vice-versa). Sometimes, you just need to run the scene 3 times to do it right. I have a suspicion, that the integration with Homekit is just broken and Somfy treats the horizontal angle as percentage, while Homekit treats it as degrees. Anyway, it's not usable at all. The official Somfy technical support stated that this is an issue on the Apple side and that their customers report similar problems with Homekit. Scenes/automations through their Tahoma app works great, but I cannot control other Homekit accessories there. And through Homekit I cannot reliably control my blinds, so it's useless for me.

Homekit no longer recognizing geofencing since 17.02 Ever since the upgrade Homekit is not recognizing geofencing. I have it set up so that when we get home when it’s dark the hall lights go on. No more! I thought that an automation might fix that but it makes it worse. It goes on all the time and not just when dark. Plus when you ask Siri to turn the lights off any other light that was on also goes off. What am I missing that needs to be done. This geofencing is great as we’re senior citizens and it’s best to have lights on as we walk in to avoid falls.

Meross Smart Outdoor Plug "No Response" in HomeKit but Meross app works just fine So I have two of these in operation. One is responsive in the HomeKit app but the other isn't. I've reset it a dozen times (and actually bought a new one because I thought the old one faulty). It's weird that one works with HomeKit (set up some time ago) but a new reset one doesn't. I've had to resort to setting this second one up and managing it via the Meross app and it is responsive via that app. Obviously I would prefer to have everything managed from one app, HomeKit. Ideas?
