[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1913812, member: 396914"] I presume you mean /Users/<<your account>>/Library/HomeKit as the location. What I see there are various items that contain the configuration data, but in an SQLite database that got zeroed out when you deleted the HOME that held all of the items. There are lots of bits and pieces there. What "Restore button" are you talking about? The one in TM? It's only active if you go back in time to an earlier backup than the most recent one. I'm not sure what would happen if you tried to restore the HomeKit folder from before the problem. It might work, but there is a lot of interaction between the devices, your router, your internal network and the software. I suppose at this point it's worth a try, if you have a good TM (or other) backup of the drive from before the issue arose. But don't be disappointed if it fails--there are a lot of moving parts.
