HomeKit invite

Ok, anyone have a solution or workaround for this?? My wife changed her Apple ID bc we got married and HomeKit won’t work on her phone.

she has signed out of iCloud, we have deleted HomeKit, removed invite, removed from august lock and hue, added back in. Tried on iPhone 11 Pro Max 14.2 and iPad Pro 14.2. All say “ could not accept invitation”. Opened trouble ticket. Spent 6 hrs trying to fix. Got nothing!

Homekit - Can not accept invitation Going back and forth with apple support for almost 8 months. The issue is my personal AppleID (@Personal) tries to join our house account's home (@HouseAccount) and the invitation just hangs and errors out. My wife's account can be added and removed -- same with my kids. No issue with anyone's account accept @Personal. Apple has had me jump through so many hoops even though this happens on EVERY device and even devices that work for family members doesn't work for @Personal. I've started from scratch multiple times and I've created a new home with just a single HomeHub on it. Same error every time. @Personal just can't join ANY HOME. After going through the typical steps with apple support -- everything from resetting a router, resetting home hubs, logging our of an account of anything -- we hit a head end and apple support sends me to another senior analyst to just start again. Never able to talk to an engineer about this issue -- support is just a middleman for which they have no idea what they are supporting. Wish I would have kept the contact of an apple support engineer who one day was able to dig into a problem with a family member's account and said there was an alignment problem with the account and fixed it while I was on the phone. All my TVs, music and lighting can be used via homekit and I'm the only one in the house that can't use anything?!?!?! So ridiculous. I can't simply create a new AppleID as mine is over a dozen years old and is the head of the family which includes every purchase! Not sure how to move forward -- was hoping IOS14 would have solved this issue but I don't think it has anything to do with the Home app itself -- has to be an issue with the @Personal account. at a loss and so fustrated.

The home invite never arrives On invited users phone removing the empty home generates a new empty home automatically so this article is not helpful. The invite never arrives. Does anyone know how to fix this?

HomeKit sharing not working Hi there! I've updated all my devices (iPhone, iPad, HomePod, Apple TV and Mac) to the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, etc... and updated my HomeKit installation to the new architecture that came with iOS 16.2. However, I accidentally deleted my partner from my home and can't add his profile back... I can send the invitation, he receives it, accepts it, then nothing happens and his name disappears from the list of people in the home. I have repeated this process several times, but nothing seems to be working! Can someone help? I hope I don't have to reset my whole HomeKit configuration... Thanks. Alex.
