New HomeKit Architecture upgrade

Hi;


I updated all my iDevices to iOS 16.4 today but for

some reason I cannot find the New HomeKit Architecture upgrade

anywhere!

One of my HomePod mini's acting as my Home Hub and the other

HomePod mini, iPad Pro & my ATV 4K are all on standby.

I've done all I can to remedy this to no avail!

Any help/solution is much appreciated.


Device Detail: iPhone 12 Pro Max

Hey johnteeee,


One thing that we wanted to do is share the steps for how exactly you locate this setting, simply because it could be a case of us just missing it in the Home app. Here is exactly where you can find that upgrade option:


  1. "Open the Home app on your iPhone or iPad running the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, or Mac running the latest version of macOS.
  2. Tap or click the More button .
  3. Select Home Settings . If you own multiple homes, choose one, then select Home Settings 
  4. Select Software Update.
  5. Tap or click Learn More under Home Upgrade Available, then follow the prompts to upgrade."


Home Upgrade Available banner appears on the Updates screen in the Home app


Can you double check that you've navigated to the correct location based on those instructions? That will make sure all our bases are covered. Those steps can also be found here, along with some other good info: Upgrade to the new Home architecture - Apple Support


We hope this does the trick for you!


Cheers.

Only one can be “connected” and you cannot choose which will be the Hub. I’ve no idea if the new home architecture changes this to be an option. See: Upgrade to the new Home architecture - Apple Support


To install it:

  1. in the Home App Tap or click the More button .
  2. Select Home Settings . If you own multiple homes, choose one, then select Home Settings 
  3. Select Software Update.
  4. Tap or click Learn More under Home Upgrade Available, then follow the prompts to upgrade.
