↳ USER REPORT

Months of working lights. Then “no accessories.”

A user reports that Siri on their Apple Watch suddenly said no HomeKit accessories were set up, though the lights still worked from their phone. Restarting the iPhone resolved it.

The record

On September 23, 2019, a user writes that Siri on their Apple Watch had controlled their HomeKit lights for months, then abruptly began replying that it looked like no HomeKit accessories were set up. The same lights kept working from their phone and other devices. Restarting the watch did not help, but two days later the poster said restarting their iPhone fixed it. No watchOS version is given in the post. This is an individual report, not evidence of how often it happens.
