I have an extensive Home setup, but recently Home will no longer allow me to add accessories from either my iPhone or my wife’s. It just tells me it was unable to add the accessory (in less than a second), and suggests I reboot my router (I have).
I then tried adding the accessories using my iPad, and they added in no problem, just like my phone always did.
Once the accessories are added using the iPad, the rest of Home functions flawlessly on our phones. The only thing we can’t do is add accessories.
The only variable I can think of is I added my Linksys Velop mesh system to Home, but it kept kicking out my devices, so I removed it from Home a week later. Now, the nodes just show up in Home as “not responding,” but I cannot remove them from the Home app or re-add them from the Linksys app. This problem started after all that, but it could be coincidental.
I'm wondering what is going wrong with Home on our phones that I can fix?
