Homekit Automations and Actions randomly not firing

The problem keeps on manifesting randomly.
Every kind of Automation/ actions I set up keeps on failing at random intervals, could be 3 times a day like 1 per month.

The problem is evident in Homekit settings that depends heavily on automations and actions to work, like when a Stateless Programmable Switch is used to control smart lights.

I've already tried different methods ( logout/login from icloud, reinstall everithing ecc) but the problem keeps on manifesting randomly.

When the automation/ action doesn't fire I can check on Home app that the message is processed by homekit but the domestic hub seems not able to run the connected action/automation, and i can control manually every device in the automation to verify that is connected.

after 5 to 10 minutes everything starts acting normal again.

The problem is present not only with an ATV running the latest firmware but also using an iPad.

Is this a well know bug or there's some workaround?




Same issue here. I use a stateless switch to cycle through 4 brightness levels for a bulb (0, 10, 50, 100). This cycle is implemented via a shortcut. Unfortunately, several times a day, it won't trigger, and then comes back to normal.
I'm sure the switch works as I can see the tile blinking after pressing it.
Strangely enough, "Test this action" won't work either in Macos (but works in iOS, for the same action...).
This makes Home app and Homekit in general totally unreliable for home automation : nobody wants to use a smartphone to light the kitchen (when the switch doesn't work).

Nine months later, it is still broken (I have the same problem).
