Home Accessories drainig battery, app Home is NOT installed.

Hi, I had this same issue (Home Accessories not installed yet draining battery). I followed this support thread for weeks and tried EVERY suggestion, some worked for a few days but then the issue would return. There’s even an earlier comment where I thought I had fixed this problem only to find it returned again several days later after my “posted solution”. I also tried the link to the Reddit community without success there either. I finally wiped my phone and returned it to factory settings (scary) and then set it up again (surprisingly easy after backing up to iCloud and only took a few minutes.) I am a senior citizen and NOT particularly tech savvy but this fixed the issue for me once and for all. It’s been over 4 months and Home Accessories has never reappeared. Good luck…

Hopefully that solves it long term! I did the same and it stopped for about 2 weeks. Then started at weird intervals, using 2-3 hours at a time, then stopping. I even wiped my phone and set it up from scratch (deleted my backup), which was really a pain! It does seem to have helped the longest so far. So annoying!

Same! After disconnecting from the cloud, then deleting, turning off background refresh still having issues. Disconnecting from cloud was most beneficial but I still see home accessories running in the background even after deleting. This is SO frustrating!

Hey; after almost 9 Months and countless E-mails and Phone calls with Apple support, the Problem is fixed, but I had too connected everything again. Before you delete your old home set a 2nd home, transfer everything to the new Home and then delete the old home, after doing this, the Background activity should stop in a few hours. I have to say after nine months I forgot how long the battery last and how cold the phone could be, so I hope it works for you guys too.

This turning off the Background App Refresh does not work. Mine is always off and Home App still drains it overnight.

Fixed issue for me

It's definitely the Apple TV app that's doing it! Thanks so much, I would have never figured that out :)

It's not the Background App Refresh, it's the Apple TV app that's doing it.

Sajeth - Read above comments - uninstall Apple TV or turn off "Allow Live activities".

Tried it will see how it works today.

Same - nothing is working for me.

following advice on this thread, I turned off the cloud for home app. So far so good 🤞. The home app needs the iCloud but it’s a small price to pay for a functional battery
