Apple Watch 3 series no longer works with Homekit Now that my 3 series (OS8) no longer works with Homekit, for how long will it work if i buy a series 4? A month? A year? I cant believe i have to throw away a otherwise perfectly working series 3 watch and buy a new one just to get back functionality with Homekit. Is this Apple ethics? Is this a sustainable policy? Didn’t Apple allready loose a court case on iOS upgrade issues with older devices? [Edited by Moderator]

Why does HomeKit fail on Apple Watch so frequently? Why does HomeKit fail so often on Apple Watch? HomeKit seems quite reliable on every Apple device I own, except Apple Watch. Only on my Watches does it fail far more often than it works. Virtually any time I touch HomeKit on the watch, it responds with “updating“ every device in my house. But if I use an iPhone, or iPad, or Mac, new or old, everything works fine most of the time. Is there something that can be done to prevent this problem on the Watch? This has always been an issue, no matter which model watch or iPhone I’ve used. The version of OS doesn’t make any difference, either. I’ve had this problem year after year after year. Surely this is a known issue with a reliable solution. Something other than suggestions I’ve commonly read, which are absurd. Suggestions like, restart all my devices. Seriously?! That’s ridiculous!! It’s only a problem on the watch, so the watch is the problem. It’s not a problem with a router. It’s not a problem with a phone. It’s not a problem with any other device in my house. It’s only a problem using the watch.
