[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1920865, member: 396914"] The frustration I have right now is that originally only 4 of my 30+ devices became "not responding" in Home. Normally, when that happens, I just delete them and add the device back, but that didn't work. But the devices that ARE in the system work, as do the automations. I originally had an Insteon system but moved to Homekit because I thought it would be more reliable and the future of home automation seemed to be moving away from the Insteon approach of using the wiring of the house to convey control signals. And originally, it did work better. But those last week has been a flashback to the bad old days where devices randomly worked and didn't. I plan to talk to the Eero support team next week. The fact that Home works for what is left in the system says it's not the problem. The issue seems to be that neither the original 4 devices or new ones I bought to replace them will connect to the Eero network. I have verified that my ISP router is in bridge mode, so no double NAT. It simply HAS to be something in the Eero setup that changed, either an update from them or some configuration that got mucked up somehow. What would be handy is a non-HomeKit device that should be connected to the WiFi network to try to connect to see if it accepting ANY new devices. But I don't have one of those handy right now. I may go see if there is any old WiFi device I can pull out of the archive that hasn't been in the network since I installed the Eero and see what it does. [/QUOTE]
