Ikea gateway can't be added to Home.app

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I have a Ikea smart setup with a sampling of different lights and control outlets working with the steering device and gateway from Ikea. Now following the instructions to add the gateway to the Home app so HomeKit can control the devices, the gateway attempts to set up, sits for about a minute, then fails. The camera is able to locate the code on the back just fine, and it initiates setup just fine, it simply fails to complete.

Anyone?

IKEA Trådfri Tradfri and HOMEKIT I have since several years a several IKEA trådfri lamps and a IKEA gateway to control them by HomeKit. It has been working so so over the years. Slow, lamps have disappeared sometimes and I have been forced to restart all units from time to time. Still, The HOMEKIT app has been working better than the IKEA app so I used the Apple app. But for a couple of month ago, the system, more or less totally stop working. I reseted the whole system and integration and put it up again. I found to my surprice that the IKEA app now was working flawless! Instant response and no failures att all. It is totally stabil! But, APPLE HomeKit still does not work. Nor in iPhone nor from iMac This is so frustrating and I really want to use HomeKit as I like the Siri connection and other features. For me, it must be a fundamental differens between how the two different apps are communication. I have around 100 lamps in the system, the IKEA app reacts within a second or two to put on and off all lamps. HomeKit, when it worked it took more like a minute! I would apreciate any information about the differens or even better any solutions. And yes, have have updated all firmwares everywhere!

Can't add accessories to Homekit; says "Apple Home" instead of "My Home Name" When I try to add a new accessory (tried with all sorts of different accessories) to my home, HomeKit has recently started to pop up with "Add to "Apple Home"" instead of "Add to "My Home"". Then if I continue anyway, it says "Unable to Add Accessory; pairing with accessory failed". My Nanoleaf bulbs are recognised in the Nanoleaf app, but again, trying to add them to My Home presents with "Apple Home" and a failure. So, it's gotta be a HomeKit problem. I've tried everything, and recently even nuked the whole home network, creating a new wifi SSID and new Apple Home - no luck. I'm not using HKSR, and I'm not using "smart" router band switching, so I'm out of ideas. I need help because I can't add a thing now (except for HomePods as they don't use a QR code)
