I share my HomeKit config over iCloud to two devices: an iPhone and an iPad. At some point, through adding and changing some devices, I wound up with a corruption on the iPad alone. A Lutron SmartBridge and all of its devices are fully reachable on my iPhone. On my iPad, the bridge and all devices are "not reachable." I cannot delete the bridge from the iPad as it comes right back. If I delete it on my iPhone, it remains on the iPad. I know I could resolve this if I reset the HomeKit configuration in the privacy settings. However, this would reset the config on my iPhone as well. I don't want to do that because I have over 100 devices, and it would be a nightmare to setup again. Here's a video showing some of them: https://youtu.be/-2kc6M1fJPE Having to reset the entire HomeKit configuration due to these minor problems is going to become unfeasible for users the more devices they have. (One should not have to blow up the entire thing every time there's a problem, but I disgress). This problem survived restoring from a backup what I got my new iPad pro instead of the iPad air too I had before. suppose I could do a clean restore on my iPad. But that, too, is more than I want to do. Does anyone know precisely where in the filesystem this HomeKit data is stored? One can sometimes manipulate data in their iTunes backups using a tool like iBackupBot: http://9to5mac.com/2016/04/09/how-to-backup-restore-sms-texts-imessages-clean-ios-install/ I'm wondering if I could back up my iPad, delete the folder containing the HomeKit configuration from just the iPad, then restore that back up. At that point maybe it would repopulate the correct data.
Any way to reset HomeKit for one iOS device only?
Hi shahidhaque, I enjoyed the tour of your HomeKit home.
If you haven't already, try this.
On the iPad that is giving you problems,
1. Go to Settings > HomeKit and delete your "Home" and then set the toggle "Use iCloud" to off
2. Go to Settings > iCloud and log out of your iCloud account
3. Find all the apps that use HomeKit and delete them.
4. Restart your iPad.
Once the iPad has restarted you're going to reverse everything you did above. First log back into your iCloud account, then set HomeKit to "Use iCloud" and add your Home back and then download all your HomeKit apps fresh from the App Store. Hopefully full fuctionality will be restored to the iPad.
Could you find a solution for this problem? Did the suggestion gcerullo gave work?
I'm having the same issue. I tried the steps described above and didn't work. I also searched in several forums and nobody found a solution. When Apple will solve this very old issue?
