C7 - Release 2.3.9.157 - HomeKit stops working

The last two releases have been very flaky regarding the HomeKit integration. I have the hourly restart toggled on but many times I find that my devices are “Not Responding” in the Home app, and then I have to reboot Hubitat and everything returns to normal. HomeKit was working well but not now. Hopefully someone can provide some guidance on this. Thanks.

I gave up on homekit, after my experience and others comments on here. It's amazing when it works, but the repeated not communicating issue isn't just us

Glad to know it's not just me experiencing this.

I do not want to jinx myself but it's been a great year for HomeKit for me. I have 5 hubs using the built-in integration, as well as a Homebridge instance without a glitch.

The Caveats: I have a small number of devices using the Integration on each hub. I have only Actuators shared to Homekit, either via the Integration or via Homebridge. I don't share door, window, motion sensors to Homekit, only switches, dimmers and GDO.

When I open Apple's Home app to Home Settings and scroll down a bit, the "Home Hubs & Bridges" row shows 9. Tapping on that, I see my 4 Production hubs, one Development Hub and Homebridge. (Meaning there's 3 Home Hubs: 2 Apple TV and a HomePod mini.)

Interesting you say that. I was just thinking earlier tonight that limiting the amount of devices from hubitat might be helpful, so I did exactly that and reduced it to just 10 virtual switches. Since then, I haven't had any further issues. But it's only been a few hours, so I guess time will tell.
