[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1920658, member: 396914"] Thanks for the post. I was feeling a little bit lonely... My Apple TVs are a mix. Three are Ethernet, two others are WiFi-only because there was no way to get an Ethernet cable to them without having to break into walls. I have 26 Meross smart plugs, of which 23 work flawlessly, and three other worked until last week when they dropped out of Home to be "Not Responding" and I cannot get them back. I have a Wemo wall switch that never would connect to Homekit, so I decided to just use the Wemo app to program it for on/off once a day as that was all I really needed. It controls my porch lights and comes on at sunset and off at 11:30 pm. I haven't tried Eve, but I do have a couple of Legrand units that work. I also have a Meross Garage Door kit that works well for controlling two garage doors. No thermostats or locks at this point. I also have the Legrand dimmer plug that dropped out with the three Meross plugs last week and I cannot get it back, either. What is curious is that my iPhone 14, running iOS 16.1, sees the Legrand and the three Meross units that won't connect. So, they are broadcasting the "I'm here, ready" signals, but my Eero mesh network isn't picking them up. I can see them in the Settings/Wifi on the iPhone. I think my next step will be to do a cold start on the four Eero units and the ISP modem to force the LAN to recreate all of the connections. Maybe then the recalcitrant units will get connected. I do have to pick the right time to do that, however, as my wife runs a business on the Internet as a side hustle does depend on her connections. She's going to be out of the house Friday, so I'll give it a go then. If that fails, the next/final step will be to reset all of the Eero units back to factory and rebuilding the LAN from scratch. That way anything stored in the Eeros gets dumped. I may just go ahead and jump to that on Friday, unless somebody has a better idea between now and then. That is a non-trivial event with the multiple smart TV/AppleTV/Printers/Theater servers/etc. And I don't want to have to create a new Home and recreate all of the accessories in that, which I may be forced to do if I get too aggressive with the network. Ah, well, nobody said it would be easy. Sure would like to know what triggered four controllers to just drop out on the same day, though. Yes, this is a 21st century problem...but it SHOULD work and I despise when it doesn't. I'll let you know how it goes. Again, thanks! [/QUOTE]
