Homekit all devices unavailable

Every so often my devices come up as currently unavailable. Have to reset modem and router to resolve. 2 Homes. Multiple homepods and Apple TV’s. Multiple switches and plugs. Using Linksys MX4200 mesh wit 1 parent and

3 child nodes.

I thought it

might

be related to lease times

for internal IP address. However how

often it happens is not reliable.

any ideas?

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?

Home kit failed to add accessories after update The only recent change in my him eco system is the recent update to apples HomeKit. I have a smart switch that I had paired to my house that I was using for test programming automations and it worked fine… fast-forward to today and I have more smart switches to install… and they don’t adopt to the system… confirming I’m using my 2.4 IOT wifi account: check confirming I have power and device’s in adopt: check waiting the entire time for system to time out on its own: check x 3 times try again to load my “test” switch first answer “already an accessory” remove “test switch” and attempt re-adopt… system fails to adopt unit, asks if I want to continue the device ID wifi or go cellular data, click for device and waiting till it times out…. NO ADOPTION OF NEW (precisely old) DEVICE!!!!!! any one els having this issue with HomeKit or is it just me????

Homekit accessories constantly going offline? I have had these homekit accessories for about a year with little to no issues, stable, occasional drops but nothing that couldn’t be explained away. Recently, my entire home, each non-apple accessory cannot and will not stay “online”. Nothing has changed in the network, all devices have power and are connected to the wireless network and are fully reachable through a ping. Accessories that have a companion app, such as myQ, work perfectly fine in their app, but homekit refuses to believe the accessory is connected. I have recycled power, to each accessory and the primary (Apple TV 4K), and secondary hub (Apple TV 4K). Firmware is up to date from what I can tell. HSV devices I am completely clueless about because there’s no companion app, so troubleshooting is nearly impossible. I assume my only option is to completely reset every accessory in my house? I’m not sure what’s going on, I really feel like i’ve tried everything. And apparently there is no actual support forum for Homekit? so i’m posting this in the wrong place… Is homekit end of life? i feel like there is no support forums and how little development is being put into homekit it seems very end of life, should i be looking for a new home solution? probably.

How old are the modem and router? Have you considered replacing them?
