All Homekit devices stop responding

The Home application (Mac or IOS) is working fine. Then, all devices are marked as not responding. The only option is that the entire home is deleted and the devices are re-added. This include third-party devices like the circle view door bell and Apple HomePods.

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?

homekit on IOS 17.4.1 Nothing is working. Updates don’t push to device. Ever since the iPad was removed as a hub it has progressively gotten worse. Removed HomePods, added HomePods this is becoming useless.

I often find it is enough to change which device is acting as the HomeHub via Home Settings. Or reboot that device so that a new one is selected. Occasionally I have also had to reboot my router to get everything working correctly again. I have not had to delete the Home and recreate it.
