Q: Home app selections just spin and do not engage.  How do I fix it?

I have yet been unable to use the Home app on my Apple Watch (Original).  The app opens but whenever I push a button it makes the icon spin but never seems to work.  My phone and iPad work just fine.  And the phone is paired with the watch already.

 

Is anyone else having this issue?  Any thoughts as to how it can be resolved?  I am thinking there is a setting that I am missing up to this point but nothing I have checked seems incorrect.

 

Thanks!

    I have a similar problem.

     

    I am using Insteon devices and the Insteon+ App on my phone which exposes homekit compatibility to the Home App.  I can see and group and control devices in my home on my phone and iPad.  I see them in the Home app on the watch (original watch updated to OS3.  But they are all greyed out on the watch.  Pressing them does nothing.

     

    I have looked for an additional setting but have found nothing so far.

    Interestingly enough, I am using both Hue devices.  They are working on both my Phone and iPad when I'm at home or away from my house.  And even though the watch connects to the phone, Home still does not work on the watch.  Hopefully maybe someone from Apple or another user will have a solution.  Its really odd.
