Is there a way to fix HomeKit setup problems on Apple Watch?

I experienced the same problem on my iPhone 15 PM and Ultra 2, intermittently at first, and then completely. I’d done nothing to my new iPhone or watch outside of keeping them up to date. I tried restarting all Apple devices including hubs, disabling and re-enabling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Then I poked around and opened Find My on my phone and noticed that my watch location was undetected. The issue was that I had somehow gotten logged out of iCloud on my watch (iPhone Watch app/General/Apple ID) so I logged back in and HomeKit fully repopulated.

I just upgraded to an iPhone 15 from a backup and figured out that the login to iCloud associated with the Apple Watch did not transition, and while the vast majority of features and functions of the watch were transferred and operational through the Bluetooth connection HomeKit accessories is one area that does require the iCloud account. Once I figured out that the watch was not logged into iCloud it solved my issues. This is what I did, mind you steps 1-3 may not be necessary, I was trying all sorts of things to figure it out.

1 - On the watch turned off WiFi and Bluetooth.

2 - Rebooted the watch.

3 - Turned the watch Bluetooth on.

4 - On the iPhone and in the Apple Watch select General then Apple ID

5 - Enter the Apple ID Password

Once completed I saw the HomeKit app on the iPhone populate with all of my accessories, scenes and favorites.

I am having same issue but the resolution doesn’t work for me. Both devices are updated. Please advise. Thank You

Hey Many76,

What specific message do you see in the Home app when trying to view your devices? The specific message you receive will help us better assist you.

Additionally, we'd recommend ensuring both your Apple Watch and paired iPhone are fully updated. There have been some additional incremental updates released in the past few days.

Cheers!

I had the same issue after upgrading iPhone to 15 Pro. I checked the watch app on the phone and I was not logged in to iCloud. I logged in and restarted my watch. After opening Home app (on watch) I see all of my accessories again.

G'day Many76,

Thanks for letting us know how you resolved the issue. That may help other users in the future. Let us know if you need help with any other issues.

Have a good one.

Just posted what worked for me on the Community Page

Same problem. Apple support is a farce. Only foreigners who don't understand my language answer and always ask the same useless questions. A bot would be more useful.

This did the trick for me. You rocks jeepsterStuff.

Thanks JeepsterStuff. This worked for me. iPhone 15 & Apple Watch 6. All devices show up now on my watch!
