HomeKit “No Response”, any resolution?

[alphaville21a14]

I have the same issue. Almost very day “no response” in all Apple Homekit devices. I have a C8 in the lastest FW and an Apple TV 2023 as homekit hub

Here’s how you confirm or rule out mdns issues on your network causing this.

At wake-up this morning, my connection to HomeKit was dead from my C8. No Response mode.
I did the normal restart of the C8 and it came back.

In order to debug, I created a rule where every minute I would set a virtual switch called switch A, and when HomeKit saw switch A turn on it would turn on another switch called switch B.
In the rule I would check if switch B did not come on within 10 seconds I would declare HomeKit dead.

Interestingly enough HomeKit died exactly 1 hour after I rebooted my C8.
I am still investigating.

Also the C8 was no longer in the _hap._tcp list.

Was this with the restart every 1 hour setting enabled or disabled? With that enabled it should die every hour for a few seconds.

No, the only non-manually generated restart would be at 2:35 am if memory is too low.

It “no response”d one hour after manually restarting to restore connection.

Sorry, you meant “restart HomeKit integration” hourly.

Yes that was on, but it went no response and stayed that way.

Turning restart option off for testing.
