why is nothing received by my wife when i try to add her to my Homekit setup?

Previously both my wife and my daughter have been part of the Homekit I had setup. however, due to resetting I can now no longer add my wife.

We are all on the latest software update for our phones, I have reset my Apple TV & all my mini pods but still nothing.

Hi Taffteague73,

If you can't share access with Home, let's follow the guidance here:

"To invite people to control your home while you're away and edit permissions for them, you need to set up a home hub. If you don't have a home hub set up, you can only invite people when you're home and connected to your home Wi-Fi network. Matter-enabled accessories require a home hub, such as Apple TV 4K or HomePod mini.
If Home has been upgraded to the new Home architecture, you must set up a home hub to share control of your home.
You and the people you invite need the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS.
Make sure that you and the people you invite are signed in to iCloud on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. In iCloud settings, turn on Home.
Make sure that you and the people you invite haven't blocked each other's phone number or Apple ID. Learn how to manage blocked phone numbers, contacts, and emails on iPhone or iPad and how to manage blocked callers on Mac.

Cheers.
