[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1920787, member: 396914"] Ok, I've given up. Today I restarted my network devices (Eero, four of them). At that point I lost three more units, now for a total of 7. None would reattach, although my iPhone can see all of them on WiFi, so they are transmitting and receiving, and the Eero did attach to 20+ other units, including units very close to the ones that are not responding. And the lost ones were not all the same brands. I've lost Meross, Legrand, and Wemo units to the Home. Next was a hard reset of the Eero, to force create a brand new network. Every connection is new. Had to reboot all four Eeros, then after the gateway Eero was activated, add in the two satellites and the extender unit I have in the mesh. Then turned on Homekit in all four. Devices started to show up, but were erratic. Sometimes reporting, then not responding. But I let it "settle" for an hour or so and most devices appeared in Home, where I expected them, in the Rooms I had set up. But the missing ones will still not appear. It's not the device manufacturer, I have three brand devices that don't work. It's not age, I have four brand new smart sockets, and none will connect. It's not the Eero, it works with other devices of all three brands. It's not signal strength, my iPhone reports strong signals at all 7 locations where device won't connect. It's not my iPhone, it's able to see the network and Home works except for the missing devices. It's not the Homekit server, it sees all the other devices other that the missing 7. It's not the AppleTV that the server runs on, I have four of them of different models and Home runs on all of them, sees what I can see on the iPhone and the scheduled events trigger, even if they can't completely succeed because some of the devices don't respond to the commands. So, I'm giving up. As the devices continue to disappear, I'll simply trash them and migrate back to a dumb house. Wife won't like it, but I spent five hours today on this and I'm done. I'm not going to invest any more money in this until it gets worked out and I hear from others that they have success. And even then, it's going to one plug at a time and I'll stop at the first failure. [/QUOTE]
