how do I delete HomeKit and start again?
I have a couple of HomePod minis, a couple of Apple TVs, an iPad Air, an iPhone XR and a mbp. I have successfully added 5 nanoleaf lamps and 4 lifx lamps.
I have added a couple of automations which work mostly ok - very occasionally some lamps will stay on! Every time (and I do mean every time!) I open the HomeKit app on my iPhone or iPad some lamps will show as "updating". seriously? updating? every time?
I have since tried adding more lifx lamps but the process time-out, several times but I cannot add more lamps - apple support pushed me towards lifx; lifx customer helpline (sic!) we no help.
when trying to add a lamp through the lifx app (which also timeout!) it does suggest that there is a problem within HomeKit.
my question is: would deleting the HomeKit app from all my devices and start again from scratch solve the problem ?? I don't really want to go through the whole process of re-adding the lamps if it's not necessary. but I want HomeKit to work out-of-the-box and not employ workarounds.
any suggestions?
