HomeKit Video from Homekit app has Camera pictures alternating

[miabadboys]

I have 4 cameras on Homekit (2 Logitech and 2 Ecobee) and just noticed when i open the app, the camera pictures are alternating. On the homekit app 1 camera picture is displayed for a second then it goes black and the other camera picture displays for a second then it goes black and rotates to the next camera. I used to see all 4 camera pictures running continuous live video all the time.
Has anyone noticed this?

OK - figured out the issue, it was 1 of my older home pods. I noticed when i have this HomePod as the HomeKit hub everything gets screwed up.
My Logitech doorbell doesn't respond right away, and the attached happens. I reset the HomePod and my HomePod mini picked up being the HomeKit hub and all is well now.

Wow, that’s wonky. I haven’t seen that before. I was a bit confused when you said “running continuous live video” but these aren’t live video feeds. They’re updated still images. There are threads about poor HomeKit performance when the HomePod is the hub.

BTW, If you want an app that can stream all four live HomeKit cameras simultaneously, HomeCam is pretty good. Plus it offers an AppleWatch and AppleTV app. I have no affiliation with it but the creator has some pretty good HomeKit apps. HomePass is another one I highly recommend.
