Anyone having HomeKit devices issues with this FW? I can’t acces any device from my home app on my iPhone when I’m not connected to my home wifi. I can however access all the devices using their manufacturer app. Example Wemo I have a bunch of Wemo switches in my house and I use the Wemo bridge to enable HomeKit compatibility and use the home app to control them all. Before this FW I was able to access and control the devices when I was away from home now I can only do it when I’m in my home WiFi, if I’m on LTE or another WiFi away from home all the devices show UPDATING and eventually NOT RESPONDING on the app. However if I use the Wemo app from outside my network it works no issues looks like this is an specific issue with the HomeKit protocol.
- eljarvisoOct 08, 2018LuminaryNo problem with mine. I have an ASUS router with the Orbi running in AP mode. I have an Apple TV 4K and an Apple TV 4 running as my home hub.
What are you using as your HomeKit hub? If it’s an iPad maybe there’s wifi issues between the iPad and the new orbi firmware.- jsalvaOct 08, 2018TutorI did an all system restart last night, modem, router, satellite, Wemo hub and every single Wemo switch around the house (about 12) and it is now working fine. I have a HomePod, an Apple TV 4 and an Apple TV 4K they are all enable as hubs currently the one being use by the system as a hub is the Apple TV 4 according to the app I guess that changes depending on availability.
My system was an auto update and it seems to be working fine now.- FURRYe38Oct 08, 2018Guru
