Since installing the latest update, I have not been able to access devices via HomeKit on the watch only. I have no issues controlling them via iPhone or iPad. Anyone else having this issue?
Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7
Hello Hoxsieq,
It sounds like you're running into an issue controlling your HomeKit devices on your Apple Watch after updating.
First, let's be sure you have the latest version of iOS (14.0.1) and watchOS (7.0.1) on your devices. The articles below will guide you.
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you're running the latest versions, let's try restarting both devices as shown here:

This should help to clear this up for you, but if you need further help, we'd recommend providing the Community with more details about exactly what's happening when you try to control those devices.
Take care!
Updating Apple Watch to 7.1 and of course the iPhone to 14.2 fixed it for me!
Yes, after the recent round of updates everything seems to be working properly.
Since the latest round of updates everything has started working fine again.
broke again for me after watchos 7.1 update. uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work anymore.
works fine on ipad and iphone.
WatchOS 7.1, no accessories in Home app responds. Works fine on iPhone (iOS 14.2)
I get it...between Siri falling behind her competition and the utter lack of attention for HomeKit by Apple, it’s a real commitment. The only reason I stay is the rest of Apple’s ecosystem.
mine were updated and then 14.2 came out for the iPad and it all fell apart again.

You will have to push past all the self-help stuff. Or if you have AppleCare, try that route.
Hi, i had the same problem and solved it by updating my iPad. I had set my iPad up as the home hub, so my guess is that might have been the issue, at least for me.
still the same problem here. On the watch I see the correct state of a lamp for example but when I tap on the lamp it says no answer. Sometimes it works and the next day not.

No luck even with TvOS 14.3...
I have been having the same issue as well. When I ask the watch to do something it will say the device did not respond but yet the device will actually complete the command that was sent.
I have sw7.3.1 on my apple watch, and homekit doesn’t work anymore.
I tried to unpair the watch, restart to watch and Iphone , after this steps the problem still persist. 🙁
I dropped my apple watch 3 so it is broke. Not buying any new apple watch until this is fixed
Accessories not responding in Homekit on watch.
