iPhone HomeKit No Response (iOS 16.3.1) I am currently unable to control any HomeKit devices with my iPhone since updating to latest iOS. My wife is also unable to control the devices. We can still control them using an iPad running iPadOS 16.3. I have restarted all devices and hubs, but as I can control devices using iPad and native apps it seems to be an issue with my iPhone (13 Pro) and not the devices, network or hub. Any suggestions on resolving the device specific problem?

that is correct an ipad can no longer act as homekit hub you will need a homepod or appletv to fill that role

you can tell apple if you disagree with this choice by using their feedback channels
