HomeKit automations not working

Is anyone else plagued by this? They were all working fine and then they suddenly stopped. ‘Test this Automation’ works fine as do Siri commands but anything automated or triggered by sensors does nothing. I have removed all automations, rebuilt them, no effect. All devices are running 12.4. And I agree, Apple needs to improve the stability of HomeKit or I may see if Alexa wants to be friends.

HomeKit Automation Hi, I recently dived into HomeKit and set up a smart home, consisting of HomePods in every room, smart lights in every room, smart thermostats in every room, a HomeKit compatible TV, a HomeKit compatible surround sound system and Apple TV. The basic functionality for most of it works, but I find the automations often fail. If I test the automations from the app, they always work. Is there anything that I could have done wrong that could cause the automations to fail? (Are there any limits on the number of automations, can automations conflict?)

Home automations not working ios 13.3 After recent update to ios 13.3 and new tvOS, my home app became useless and manual controlled only. All automations shortcuts “erase” after every start of the home app, and they don’t work after been redone. Also the shortcuts inside smart buttons press/double press menu are erasing. I am very upset, everything was working fine in previous version. I spend a lot of money in homekit lamps sensors and buttons and appletv4k and now its all just useless, I am very disappointed, ios 13.3 was marked as polished update :-( No restart reinstall home app is helping.
