Automations Homekit not working after update to 15.4

I verified the whole thing again. Every time we leave the house at different times, both the location-based automation and HKSV work. When we leave the house together, it doesn't work every time.

We have two HomePods (regular and mini), as well as an Apple TV 4K.

The Apple TV is the hub, the two HomePods are not.

When I test switch to one of the HomePods as the hub, HKSV does not work.

I have already reported the behavior to Apple several times via the Feedback Assistant, both via my account and that of my wife.

Apple, PLEASE fix it!

Mine got messed up again and the only way I could fix it was to set the Apple TV “default Audio” back to TV Speakers. I don’t even bother using my lights in HomeKit. I use the native app for my lights instead. Same with the thermostat. Otherwise an update comes along and messes up all your settings.

iOS 15.5 was just released:

iOS 15.5 includes the following improvements and bug fixes:

- Wallet now enables Apple Cash customers to send and request money from their Apple Cash card

- Apple Podcasts includes a new setting to limit episodes stored on your iPhone and automatically delete older ones

- Fixes an issue where home automations, triggered by people arriving or leaving, may fail

Let's see if it's really fixed... hopefully!

I FIXED IT!!!!!!! If you’re using multiple Apple TV’s as your home hub you have to go into one of them and disable the home hub temporarily so your iOS device has a chance to connect to one of them! Once you look in the HomeKit app and one of the hubs goes from standby to connected you should be set!!!!! You’re welcome let me know if it works!

Thanks for the tips. As it turned out I had an old Apple TV. We changed to the new Apple TV 4K few months back. I have not yet wiped the old TV. After reset the old Apple TV (which I intended to give my parents), it finally works! Hope this last!

So my issue was so far fixed when I when to the settings and looked at my home sharing. On one of my apple tvs it was a different user id so I logged out and logged back in to my same apple id as my primary home iphone that has the same icoud email on both iphone & apple tvs and it works! All apple tvs in the house need to be signed in to the same apple id as the main iphone account your using for setup. Hope this helps. (After I signed in had to restart my apple tv & turned wifi on off on my phone and it worked)

I agree it’s annoying. All the fixes are temporary. You can submit feedback to let Apple know: Feedback - HomePod - Apple

Same situation here! Everything is at no response when I leave my house smh! Apple fix this! 15.5 didn’t fix it either but before This never used to happen.

iOS and HomePod OS 15.4.1 are now out, so these may fix it.

Yes. I talked to the chat support and after that they referd me to the phone support.

Both couldnt help me in this moment because I tried everything they would ask me to do.

HomePods should be on 15.4.1 now. Update to that if you haven’t already done so and make sure tvOS is up to date on Apple TV, iOS on iPhone, iPad as well

I have the same problem and 15.4.1 didn't fix it ether.

No way. My spouse is iPhone 8 (15.4) and I iPhone 11 (15.4.1).

Homekit is running on her device and unfortunately is not running on my device
