Firmware warning for Homekit/V2.7.3.22

I updated to 2.7.3.22 last night on my RBR40 and homekit started having major issues (specifically with hue and arlo).  I could access everything when on wifi but not when away.  I rolled back the firmware on everything today and it is working again.  Just a warning incase others want to do some research first.

    Will need to try a factory reset after new FW is applied to see if this changes anything. Possible left overs from configuration may not work well with newer version of FW. 

     

    A reset and setup from scratch is needed before pointed to FW.

      Thanks.  I did rebot everything, but did not completely reset and start from scratch.  I will just roll back for now and if I have time to do that later I will.

  • Thanks for this. I've been having issues for months now and I suspect it was when my router automatically updated to this version. Still an issue with the latest firmware which came out last month as well. I'll roll back to this one and see if it improves anything
