I have a number of accessories setup on homekit and everything works fine from my phone. However, recently, no homekit accessories works on apple watch, everything is no response (on watch face or through siri). Everything still works on the phone. iOS 16.5, Watch OS 9.5.1
Apple Watch Series 5
I was able to fix the issue by turning Background App Refresh off and back on for Home via the Watch App on iPhone. I was immediately able to see my cameras and other accessories on the watch.

I had a similar problem…Apple Watch no longer recognized my Home or Homekit accessories after Watch OS10 and iPhone OS17 updates. Somehow my Watch was no longer signed-in to the Watch app on iPhone. Go to the Watch app on iPhone, then go to General>Apple ID and check to see if you are signed-in. If there is a “Password” prompt below your Apple ID, you are not signed-in on Watch. Enter your password…wait a few minutes for Watch to sync with iPhone and check the Home app on Watch. These steps may resolve the issue.
Thank you! It wasn’t turned on at all for the HomeKit app so once I toggled it on it worked like a charm!
Thank you so much! I was racking my brains after the watchOS 11 upgrade and worried I would have to reset all my settings, but the Background App Refresh trick worked a charm
This resolved my problem Thank you.
That worked for me too! Such a simple fix. Thanks.

Just tried unpairing and then restoring from backup. This also works. Much less painful than restarting from scratch.
This resolved my issue. Thank you!
Omg thank you so much. I was able to change Home settings on the watch itself.
No worries! Glad to hear it.
Homekit no response on Apple Watch, works on iphone
