Devices not responding to Apple homekit

I have a number of iot devices. All of them are active and accessible from their individual apps as well as Amazon Alexa. However Apple home shows them as all unresponsive. They used to work just fine. My iOS devices, and anpps, are all up to date.

HomeKit not working after ios17 hello all, I’ve recently updated to iOS 17.2, and since then quite a bit of my HomeKit devices have stopped responding. The couple things that I had on thread, and several Bluetooth enable devices no longer respond. I’ve tried rebooting my Wi-Fi. I’ve tried rebooting my Apple TV and apples speakers. Please let me know if I’m missing something, but it seems like this is a super buggy iOS version

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 not working HomeKit works fine when I’m home, but will not respond at all when I’m off my home wifi and on LTE or 5G. Went thru everything possible with Apple support to no avail. Was told to wait for the new update and that should take care of it. Just updated to ios15.7 and that did not do anything for me. Then updated to ios16. Still the same. AppleKit just will not work when off the home wifi. Any ideas.? FYI,, When using Google Home, all works perfectly. Maybe Apples HomeKit was not meant to be.
