Devices in Apple Home App showing as no response

Get Help Integrations
1

I am running a C-7 and utilizing the Home Kit Bridge App to bring my devices into the Apple Home App.

I have 25 or so devices in the app and for the most part they are running just fine.

I do however have two items in the Home app that are showing as No Response. One is a Button Controller that I use to control a Pico Remote switch that runs 4 can lights in my kitchen and the other is a Govee Light Integration that I use to control exterior Govee Lights. Both started to show no response last week and will not come online in the Home app.

Both of these items are selected in the Home Kit app and both are present in the Home app on my iPhone...Both however as noted show as no response in the home app.

Would appreciate any help troubleshooting these two items...Both work fine when sending commands out of my dashboard in the Hubitat app.

First thing I would do is reboot both the Hubitat Hub and then the HomeKit controller (Apple TV? HomePod?).

When I’ve had issues in the past, that fixed it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I unfortunately have already tried that...Its generally my go to when I encounter issues. The reboots did not address the two devices that show as no response.

I have also tried to reset the integration in the homekit bridge application as well.

And tried unchecking those two devices in the app, clicking done and then adding them back in.

That’s unfortunate. What Hubitat platform version are you on?

5

2.4.2.160

6

That’s a 6 month old version of the Hubitat platform. I suggest you upgrade to the latest release to see if the issue persists.

7

I have no updates available. Unless there is a way to force an update I am not sure how to do this.

8

Sounds like maybe you’ve blocked the hub from Internet access somehow? What type of home network hardware/design do you have?

9

Make sure your hub is connected to Hubitat's cloud.

10

I get regular updates...Just updated last week.

11

Updated what last week? Couldn’t be the hub platform because the version you’ve mentioned is 6 months old …

12

I was incorrect. Platform version is 2.4.4.146

13

just updated the software again this morning, rebooted the hub and still have the same issue.

14

any thoughts on this issue. still persistes unfortunately

There are several of us having issues with devices showing no response through the HomeKit Bridge. Sometimes restarting the integration helps and sometimes restarting the hub helps. For me neither of those work on my Third Reality Bulbs. I can control them when I am on my LAN as HomeKit is local but as soon as I leave my home I have no control.

There has been some work on this and public release 2.4.4.155 had an update inside it that they hoped would help per the release notes. It did not in my case even though it might have helped in others, I honestly don’t know. I am sure there will be other fixes in future releases to try and help this.

Until then if there are mission critical items that you need to work in Apple Home, if you are using Home Assistant, you can use the HACS integration for Hubitat to bring your Hubitat devices into Home Assistant. Then create a HomeKit Bridge in Home Assistant and share them to Apple home that way. I done that with the one bulb I most definitely needed. Then when the Hubitat integration is solved you can move it back if you like.

Hello, recently updated my habitat hub to
2.5.0.143 and noticed my HomeKit bridge integration is now acting odd. There are two devices that report no response when I’m not connected to my network. If I’m connected to my network, it seems the device is ok until I open it and it still says no response. One device is a Govee strip and the other is a Philips hue floor lamp. Prior to updating the firmware the HomeKit bridge worked well. Anyone have any ideas what’s going on?

I restarted the HomeKit bridge, I’ve restarted my Apple TV (hub), I’ve removed the devices from HomeKit bridge and re-added. Still not working.

EDIT* Today I completely reset the HomeKit bridge integration, new QR (nuclear). Added it new to my Apple home app with new QR code, added all of the devices and for a couple of hours the two devices (hug floor lamp and Govee strip) were working fine. Now I noticed they are both no response again. What is strange is, if I’m on my home WiFi I can control them but if you open the device in Apple home it still says no response. If I’m not on my WiFi they are just no response and can’t be controlled. I don’t understand why after a complete nuclear option (as HE calls it) it’s the same two device, all others work well.

Up to three devices no response. For as reliable as HomeKit bridge has been, what the hell is going on?

19

I am having the same issue with Govee devices and Hue devices showing no response, and I have c8 pro, with version
2.5.0.157.

I have re booted Apple TV hub, restart the integration home kit bridge, changed the polling in the Govee ap and running v2 of that, I just started to have this problem when I updated the last to hub updates. any suggestion would be appreciated.

Has anyone come up with a new solution to this no response issue, I never had this before until the last few updates not sure if its apple or Hubitat updates that are causing the issue I have had to reboot the hubitat c8 pro just restarting the intergration doesn’t work, just restarting the apple hub does not work I have had to reboot the Apple TV the hubitat, and the network router to get it to work. BUT it still doesn’t work with Groove devices the all show no response after a short period.
