No Response in HomeKit

Have you experienced a “No Response” sporadically in HomeKit? I think I may have found the reason why it was happening to me so frequently. My HomeKit has 13 devices that serve as Home Hubs. I have several Apple TVs, Home Pod 2s, HomePod Minis and an iPad Pro. I have found that when my HomeKit uses a HomePod Mini as the Home Hub there are 4 - 6 devices that will show as “No Response”. Once I force HomeKit to use a different Home Hub, preferably an Apple TV (latest version), all of the “No Response”s go away. I would like to see some way to assign the function of Home Hub to a specific Apple device, or at least give us a way to turn on and off the ability for each device to be used as the Home Hub.

Unfortunately you cannot choose which device acts as the “connected” Hub. You can submit feedback to Apple: Feedback - Apple TV - Apple

Once the option to upgrade to the new architecture is released, some things might change with one being the iPad will no longer act as a Hub. Not sure what will change with Homepods Upgrade to the new Home architecture - Apple Support

Sometimes restarting the devices or rebooting the wifi will get them to respond
