[QUOTE="M_Six, post: 1920656, member: 298174"] I use Homekit. I have maybe 70 devices (door sensors, door locks, cameras, plugs, power strips, lights, light switches, etc). I tried the Meross plugs and gave up on them after a few weeks because they were constantly "Not Responding." I use Eve plugs and power strips which are somewhat more reliable, although I've had issues with them a few times as well. I have three Eufy Homebase 2 devices with 3 or 4 cameras each. I recently had to reset one of the Homebase devices and tried to add it back into Homekit. I had previously removed it from Homekit and from the Eufy app. It loaded fine back into the Eufy app, but Homekit throws an error that you usually get when the device hasn't been reset or Homekit thinks it's still part of my Home (i.e., "The Setup Code is Incorrect"). I've tried everything to get it back into Homekit and it just won't go. So similar to your issue. It's only been a few days, but I recently updated to iOS16.1 on my iPhone and iPad and Ventura on my laptop. The new Home app seems to be working better (fingers crossed). I'll start updating my Apple TVs and my Homepod Minis and hope that doesn't break anything. So, not much of an answer, but if you haven't upgraded to iOS16.1 on your devices (or TVOS16), you might want to try that. One other thing...my system used to be mesh wifi. My wifi nodes were not connected via an Ethernet cable (know as Ethernet backhaul). The wifi worked fine for everything except smart home devices. I had constant problems and almost gave up on smart home stuff entirely. But then I set up a wired network using MoCA adapters and got all my wifi nodes and Apple TVs on an Ethernet connection instead of wifi. That really made things run smoother. [/QUOTE]
