HomeKit Ecobee 3 lite HomeKit not working under iOS16.1

[Rychiar]

For the last week, or seemingly since iOS16.1 came out, my ecobee3 lite thermostat just will not connect to HomeKit. I’ve tried resetting the HomeKit 3 times and repairing end it comes right up to pair and connects easy but then if I try to change temp in HomeKit it just spins and eventually the device goes unto an irrecoverable “no response” . The thermostat works perfectly normal through Ecobee’s own app so I don’t understand what’s up

I have three of these working fine with 16.1.

Do you by any chance have a HomeKit Enabled Router? That gave me the same issues you described in the past. I had to se it to “No Restrictions”

Also, have you tried rebooting the thermostat? Remove it from the wall mount, wait a minute and put it back in. That usually clears any HomeKit woes I have with it.

I do have a HomeKit enabled eero 5 but I’ve had it for a long time with the ecobee working fine. I’ve also unplugged the thermostat 3 times and that does nothing. Resetting its home kit settings lets me Re-add the device no problem but then it still fails to actually be controllable and has broken a lot of my automations . I’ve never had a problem with this thing before the last couple weeks and it works fine in it’s own app

Did you try restoring your Home Hub to factory settings, then re-adding and /or rebooting your network?

i have like 6 home hubs so that would be tough. I did actually just fix it though by doing an eero update so i guess once again eero was the issue. I keep it up to date so this must have literally just came out

well

Ah eero. They break stuff just as much as Apple does.

Well, glad you got it working.
