HomeKit does not sent http-requests inside automations since HomePod Software 18.2

Hi there!


Since installing HomePod Software 18.2 I have an issue:


If one creates an automation in Apple Home-App, that at i.e. turning on a lamp sends an http-request (i.e. to a Telegram-Bot), this http-request will not be sent any more (since installation of HomePod Software 18.2).


Steps for reproducing the problem:

- Open Apple Home-App

- Click „+“ (upper right corner)

- Click „Add Automation“

- Click „An Accessory is Controlled“

- Choose Accessory

- Click „Next“

- Choose „Turns On“

- Click „Next“

- Scroll completely down and choose „Convert To Shortcut“

- Delete „Set Scenes and Accessories“

- Search for „URL“ in „Search for Apps and actions“ and add it

- Fill „URL“ with a http-request

- Search for „Get Contents of URL“ in „Search for Apps and actions“ and add it

- Click „Next“

- Click „Done“


While turning on the choosen accessory (i.e. lamp) the http-request will not be sent! Before installing HomePod Software 18.2 it WAS sent.


If one chooses the just now created automation and clicks on „Test This Automation“ at the bottom, the http-request WILL BE sent (but, as written, not, if it is triggered by the activated accessory, what worked before HomePod Software 18.2)!


Maybe someone can confirm/reproduce this problem. It is very important for me.


Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.


Greets, Marcus

HomePod, 18

I’m on 15 Pro Max. Here’s a screenshot of the automation that wasn’t working, but started working after 18.2.1.

I installed yesterday and can confirm that it is still broken :(

But what do you mean exactly? You wrote it is still broken (no http requests are sent) but then you say the http requests are slower … so they ARE sent? (Sorry, I am a bit confused, my english is not the best ;) ).
