Q: Homekit with iPad as Hub issue
Hi,
I've just installed iOS 10 on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 and try to play with HomeKit for controlling Hue lights remotely.
I can control accessories from my iPhone and my iPad when both are connected to my Wifi network.
I've setup my iPad as an HomeKit Hub thru Settings/Home.
My iPad is well detected as HomeKit hub on my iPhone by the Home App.
The problem is when I disconnect my iPhone from my Wifi network and get connected thru 4G: I can no more control accessories: my iPad is still seen as homeKit Hub by my iPhone, but I get failures when trying to switch lights On/Off.
I've disconnected my iPad from iCloud account and reconnected it (same iCloud account as on my iPhone).
I've disabled iCloud/HomeKit and reenabled it on my iPad.
I've disabled Home/Hub and reenabled it on my iPad.
I've rebooted my iPad and my iPhone.
Verification with 2 factors is enabled on my account.
I've disabled and reenabled iCloud keychain.
I've plugged my iPad on a charger.
No success, any clue?
Could it be linked to my ADSL box settings (UPnP is on)?
Thanks.
iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 10

Good news: I have removed my Home in Homekit and created a new one from scratch: it works fine now.
Thanks.
