My wife and I used the same Apple ID for years. Now that she has an Apple Watch she wants her own Id for activity tracking. I created her id and added her to family sharing. I went to my homekit and sent her an invitation to share it and on her device and accepted it. None of the homekit devices show on her phone. Please help?? Thank you!

I’m gonna ask the obvious just for process of elimination. Did you send the HomeKit invitation to her iCloud email?
Does she have keychain enabled in her settings?
 
And have you made sure you are looking at your house and not another house? I believe they default to her house and not the house you have created. But you can delete her house so there is only one house in her HomeKit app. I won’t explain why I know to ask that question. :)

Yes, forgot about this one lol.
 
Call Apple support. I had the same issue. Struggled to fix it myself. Failed. Wasted hours, weekends. Gave up and endured it for a couple of years.

Finally gave up and called Apple.

Now, they wouldn't say it directly, but I got the impression they had reason to believe my long-standing Apple ID was "suspicious" and had blocked certain features.

Anyway, they fixed it while I was on the phone. 20 minutes tops. Done.
