[QUOTE="pixelrogue, post: 1913935, member: 413642"] Apologize if this is a repeat response as i a am not seeing my response… Not an expert by any stretch…when i restore from time machine files related to HomeKit that i can see (/Users/<<your account>>/Library/HomeKit) and reboot (wifi/icloud off) Home app appear to be as before… all devices, able to move devices around…app functions normally (except access to devices.) The moment wifi/icloud is turned back on, home app on the mac is overwritten and all devices are again missing. In an interesting development i tried to just start over fresh and rebuilt from scratch, but can not.
