Sharing HomeKit problem - Apple ID is not registered with iCloud problem

On last Thursday we shared a HomeKit (host is my wife's iPad) to my wife's sister. From that moment, I lost connection with iPad - Home App on my iPhone was showing an error connecting to it. So, I removed my my account from guests, then her sister's. Now, my wife can't invite anyone - Home App is always telling that this Apple ID is not registered with iCloud.

I tried:

- to restart all devices

- log-out and log-in to iCloud on all devices

- reinstall Home App on all devices

- disable and enable contacts sync

- to send invitation from “guest” HomeKit to the “host” HomeKit - ironically same problem - Apple ID is not registered with iCloud

Nothing works. Now, only my wife can use HomeKit devices. What is going on or what am I doing wrong ?

iPad Mini Wi-Fi, iOS 11.2

I found that if you are getting this error message even after upgrading to latest iOS, your guest might not have an @icloud account.

I went into iCloud and enabled Mail, created an @icloud.com account and bam it worked when I used that id.

I am waiting for new update. Fingers crossed it's tomorrow or Wednesday. I know Zac Hall from 9to5mac was also having this issue.

This unfortunately did not work. For a minute my wife’s phone found the Apple TV and within a few minutes it said “no hubs found”

i tried 11.2.1 last night on all devices and it did not work.. - probably because i was not able to roll back the apple TV which was on 11.2.5

No luck uninstalling the Hue app. Still can't share the same home on homekit. I can use the Hue lights thru homekit and wife can use the August lock thru homekit. We can't both use both

Latest beta fixed things for me. Still, the Apple of today is "here's your new HomeKit device. Spend the next 2 weeks tinkering." That's a long way from "It just works".
