HomeKit Apple Homekit: Unable to Activate "I'm Home" Scene via Siri after latest update

[BinhM3]

Has anyone tried asking Siri to activate the 'I'm Home" scene after updating the iOS to 11.2.2? None of my devices can trigger the scene now when asking Siri. I can manually press the "I'm Home" scene then that would work but asking Siri does not do anything anymore.

I have a iPhoneX, iPhone 7plus, 2 ipad 2, iPhone 5s and none of those devices work anymore when asking Siri "I'm Home".

The "I'm Home" scene does the following:

1. Opens my garage door
2. Unlocks my Kitchen door
3. Lights turns on in the kitchen and living room at 40%

Let me ask - is your iOS device unlocked when you issue the Siri command? Since it involves home entrance - they would need to be unlocked. I think this is true for all Apple devices - Except for an Apple Watch. I'm assuming you have an active hub in your home too.

Yes, my iphone is unlocked when i send the voice command and I have 2 Apple TV gen 4 and the 4k. This issue is on all of my i-devices after the upgrade. Can someone check with iOS 11.2.2 is an issue on your phone?

I don't have any issues.

Try an experiment - make a new automation (name it "open up" or something other than what your current one is named) and see if you get the same or different results.

I am also having trouble with HomeKit since the update to 11.2.2. Earlier this week I came home to a dark house. None of the rules were working and my ihome devices were not responding.

I’ve since reset all devices, checked for updates, and restarted. I am able to get the device added to HomeKit, and it works fine for 5-10 minutes then changes status to “not responding”. I unplug and replug the device, works for 5-10 then not responding.

Any thoughts or suggestions? I’m using an ATV4 as the hub.

Try signing out from iCloud on the AppleTV, then re-signing back in.

Just tried that this morning. Also disabled home from iCloud, restarted and reinstalled. Works for a few minutes then “no response”.

I should note that the ihome app works fine. Just this integration with HomeKit which I used frequently with Siri.

Quick. Update. I created a new home scene called "Home Sweet Home" and it works just fine. I deleted "I'm Home", So, later tonight I'll rename "Home Sweet Home" to "I'm Home" and see if it works. Maybe something is happening in the cloud and it messed up my original "I'm Home" scene.
