Homekit devices suddenly unresponsive

After getting a set of devices (I just have a few) that stopped responding, I deleted the home and started reading devices. Success! Everything worked. Several hours later, all the devices (e.g., switches) were unresponsive. What I found was that several end points had the Apple Home app open -- including a Mac.

Is there something about concurrent access that is introducing the issue?

HomeKit Matter Devices randomly unreachable multiple times a day I have around 30 matter devices as lights, switches and buttons (mostly EVE and Nanoleaf). Additionally I am using multiple HomePod Mini as Thread Border Routers. Unfortunately all the devices are randomly unreachable without any clear reason. I have attempted a complete reset of all the devices including Factory reset of lights, switches, sensors, Buttons and speakers, a network reset of all iOS devices and a factory reset of the WiFi mesh network. I ensured multiple times there isn’t other Thread or zigbee networks causing interference and that all the hardware is supported. that did not help and the issue is still happening. Apple Support with HomeKit could not provide any solutions. is anyone facing a similar problem? How did you solve it?

Monterey and HomeKit does not work together Both my iPad and iPhone can see my Home. However, when I open my Mac Pro running Monterey 12.6.1, the Home app. comes up as a blank screen on my Mac Pro - no Home sidebar, no Home icons, no Home accessories, nothing in the window. It doesn't even display my Home name. Is this a result of iOS 16.2 bugs on my iPhone? FYI. Yes, I am logged into the same AppleID, iCloud account.

HomeKit issues with iOS and iPadOS 18.2 Started having issues today with HomeKit using my iPhone and iPad. Tried upgrading one version to 18.2 with no change. Yale locks are no longer recognized and Eve outlets are intermittent on being recognized and automations are not working with the Eve outlets. I can’t even delete the automations so I can add them in new. I select “delete automation” but it’s still there when I go back.
