If you’re running iOS13.2.2 got to:

Settings, Accessibilities, Touch, turn on “AssistiveTouch” and choose “home” for “Single-Tap” option.

Really, truly, reset Apple Home configuration I started using Apple HomeKit in 2018, with an Apple TV 4K designated as the primary hub. I added a Philips Hue light controller, multiple Eve temperature and air quality sensors, a couple of GE air conditioners. Automations worked fine, we were satisfied. We added a second home to the configuration in 2019, with just a couple of lights. All worked fine. Until last fall when we found any attempt to use the Home app on our devices just stalled with the dreaded "Loading Accessories and Scenes" message. As directed in various forums we reset our home configuration. No joy, still the same error. We logged out of iCloud on all of the devices in both homes. We logged in, hit reset home configuration, and logged out again. This time we were able to set up Apple Home again. From scratch, since there's no backup and no way to restore a configuration. Except, when we went to add devices…they sometimes were still there, in the allegedly virgin Apple Home configuration. Reset does not mean reset? This second setup lasted less than eight weeks before the dreaded "Loading Accessories and Scenes" messages appeared again. Now I'm in a situation where after resetting Apple Home, logging out of iCloud, logging back in, some devices cannot be added at all, because Apple Home insists they're already in a home configuration, except not this home. Other devices get added to "Default Room" and remain there even after attempting to move to the correct room. This is really disappointing. Is there truly no way to go back to zero with Apple HomeKit? Or no way to back up and restore a configuration? It feels like HomeKit is not really supported as a separate product or service, it isn't even listed as a topic in this community support and there is no apparent way to open an official Apple support query on HomeKit. I was hoping to get away from Google Nest for home automation, but it's never been this nightmarish as Apple HomeKit is turning into for me.

HomeKit stuck There are some old threads on this, but nothing recent. My Home app is stuck at “Loading Accessories and Scenes” when I launch it. I have turned iCloud for Home on and off, restarted the iPhone, iPad, and my iMac, essentially followed the advice on the older threads. My wife can still run it ok on her iPhone. What else can be done?

Home App crashes as soon as I select home setting. I don't know if this is solved but I have still this problem with the home-app. My homekit devices are all working fine thru home app including automation. Problem is as soon as I click home settings, it just crashes and exits out to home screen. When I go back to Home app, it's working, then I select home setting, same thing. I can select room setting, edit screen, add scene, accessaries. Only home settings is causing a crash/app-close. So I can't even delete home or add/remove family members. Logging out of iCloud didn't work, restoring doesn't work as it brings everything back to how it was. I have added my wife and when I check her phone, I can see home setting, but she is not the admin. I even tried this on my macbook to see home app and once I select home settings, it just crashes/closes.
