I have a problem with Apple Home.
Around 30 devices with Matter and/or Thread.
- Every time a new HomePodOS / AppleTV 4K comes out, some Thread devices go unavailable. I need to reboot all Homepods and AppleTV 4K to make them reconnect again. It's a pain, because it happens without a warning and e.g. i can't enter my home, because Nuki Smartlock is offline.
- Some Matter/Thread devices need firmware upgrades to reconnect again to the new Matter version. The firmware is not shown in the Home app, like it should (with Matter). I again have to install all shi* apps from different vendors again to get the newest firmware. It's a pain checking all devices again and again.
- My wife shares Apple Home with our family. Once all members could connect and turn on/off all devices. On my iPhone all devices were offline. She had to delete me from family sharing and readd me to Apple Home. Then all was working again.
Once this done the Matter/Thread devices work perfectly fine, until Apple updates iOS, HomepodOS, AppleTV-OS again.
I hope this will be fixed once all devices are on newest Matter/Thread version which should handle the Thread network more reliable.
Apple, when will this be fixed, this is not a "Smarthome".
