I’ve been using HomeKit with ikea home for a while and hit has been working fine.
the resent month I’ve experienced some problems though. In apples home app it just says “connecting” and later “no response”. The lights works perfectly from ikeas app and I’ve tried to delete the bridge and then set it up again with no result, does anyone have any helpful ideas on how to solve this?

Greetings Appleuserswe,
Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities!
We understand you mentioned this started since the last update to your iPhone, so let's see if additional updates may need to install to clear this up.
First, let's confirm there aren't additional pending updates to install on your iPhone. If an iOS update is available, be sure to complete a backup prior to installing it. To check for an update, go to Settings > General > Software Update. For assistance with updating or backing up, check out this resource: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If you have the latest iOS version installed, let's check the App Store for any pending updates. If IKEA is the manufacturer of the devices, check that their companion app is updated specifically as well. For assistance with this, check out the following steps: How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support
How to manually update apps on your iPhone or iPad
1. Open the App Store.
2. Tap your profile icon at the top of the screen.
3. Scroll to see pending updates and release notes. Tap Update next to an app to update only that app, or tap Update All.
Learn what to do if you can't update an app on your iPhone or iPad.
Lastly, check within the companion app to see if the individual devices need to install any updates as firmware sometimes needs to be updated. Once you've checked through all of that, restart your iPhone then let us know what the results are.
Have a great day!
It might not be an Ikea issue. This thread reports Homekit problems with iOS 16:
