Homekit automations not working ios15

Since updating to ios15 on my iPhone and tvos15 on my apple TV my automations (turn lights on when arrive home, turn off when leaving) have stopped working. I've rebooted internet router/modem, apple TV (hub), deleted and redone the automations in the home app, rebooted by Sylvania smart bulbs, all multiple times in various orders. Essentially, I've employed all the standard fixes. Upon searching, this appears to be a widespread problem since ios15 was released. All of my devices are running the latest update available. Any additional advice is appreciated.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 15

I had same problem for nearly a week, HomeKit wasn’t working no lights or cameras were responding.

tried everything reset all lights, everything had latest updates.

the solution for me I unplugged my HomePods and waited until Apple TV 4K became the hub, which you can check through the home app settings, plugged HomePods back in, Apple TV remained the hub and now everything works.

hope this helps people
