just update appletV 4K to tvos 16.3.1 also Hompod mini. Home app no longer connects to anything.

I just update appletV 4K to tvos 16.3.1 also Homepod mini. Home app no longer connects to anything. There is either no response or the accessories continually update. All iPhone and MacBook software up to date. Anyone have this issue?

Apple TV HD, tvOS 14

I fixed it but it was not what I was expecting. I have two Eve thermometers (one inside and one outside). They were not connecting. Actually nothing worked on the Eve app. (see Heatmiser in the next sentence which appeared on the Eve App but never connected.) I also have a Heatmiser-controlled central heating system with lots of lights attached to it. They too didn't connect in the Home App but they did work in the Heatmiser Neo app. I restarted the Heatmiser router and bingo it all come back (Home and Eve apps). It also connects almost immediately! I have update many AppleTVs over the years (I have 3 right now) and have never had the problem I described above. However I never had HomePod Minis before. Anyway, all I can suggest is that if there are any HomeKit routers on your system, try restarting them. Don't really know what else to say but if you do, I hope this helps. Bill

Yikes. Well maybe I should have said that it works so far. I have a feeling that my HomePad Minis are not really connected the way they should (pointers have old names) but they function. I could have lived with my Heatmiser system running my heating and lights, but I was amazed that it worked (so far) after the restart. Thanks for getting back. Appreciate it.
