17.2 Causing Instability? (lemmy.ml)

Since upgrading to iOS/tvOS/HomePodOS 17.2, my HomeKit stuff has been SO unstable where every day since 17.2 came out I have been putting out fires and rebooting devices. Even devices that are usually very solid. A couple of times I have even had to do full resets of a device and re-add it to my home when rebooting didn’t work, which is normally a very rare occurrence.

Along with rebooting or power cycling devices, I’ve rebooted and power cycled Apple TVs and HomePods with no luck. Tonight I even rebooted my WiFi hubs (eero Pro 6) and updated the firmware. Jury is still out on results of that.

Anyone else having problems?

Eero Pro 6 gateway, and 2 eero Pros, 3 Homepod minis, 3 Apple TVs. Zero issues. 🤷🏼‍♂️

After playing whack-a-mole with all my devices enough, I finally powered down all my Home hubs for 5 minutes and did a slow restart, meaning that I powered the Apple TV that usually ends up as my “connected” hub and let my devices connect. Then, once everything was connected and seemingly working, I started powering on my other hubs (HomePod OGs and Minis). So far I seem to be back normal.

This reminds me, I disable my Apple TVs from being HomeKit hubs. The HomePod minis do such a better job. No idea why.
