Apple Home while Remote

Experiencing a challenge while traveling where all the bridges report being offline and camera previews / live are not functioning; however, when family does a physical check, automations are functioning, power is on, and everything seems fine on property.


Cameras are also capturing and recording motion triggers, which can be seen remotely (no notifications), but no streaming live; video goes black.


I have cycled the router and the modem (even did a recent reset from the provider) to no avail.


This behavior is the same on all devices with access to the HOME who are trying to connect remotely.


Other internet needy systems confirm connectivity.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

sounds like there is no homekit hub

Set up your HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV, or iPad as a home hub - Apple Support


it's sole purpose is to provide the contact from the internet to the lan to control the homekit devices
