Home HomePod OS 26.3 Breaks Hue

[LazyMonkIE]

I’ve been using the updated Apple Hone architecture for a long time and with this new update I’ve just had to spend a few hours removing by Hie devices (Nanoleaf devices remained unaffected) and reading and configuring everything again for Apple Hone. Hub set to automatically select and chose my bedroom HomePod 2 but all Hie devices were unresponsive. Restarting the HomePod meant I could control devices for a couple of seconds before they all went offline again. O my thing working was the Hue app.

Long story short, I’ve had to remove everything and recreate it just because of another Apple bug. This is getting beyond a joke. There appears to be a distinct lake of quality control in any software Apple has been releasing recently not to mention the features that were promised and are still missing.

Sadly, I still won’t be switching to Android because when the Apple devices work properly they are more intuitive but beginning to get very dismayed with this lack of quality control.

Exactly the same thing happened to my 90+ lights. I won’t be re-adding them since I’ve heard from other forums it does not fix the issue. So I guess we’ll have to wait.

Apple, you need to stop making movies and focus on what’s important. They are losing it.

I’ve also noticed that playing tv audio through my HomePod speakers via arc and AppleTV now has a massive delay and poor quality while it waits to catch up. HomePod regularly not available for airplay either since the update.
