@shivp0707 I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you’re experiencing with your M2 Hub disconnecting from the Apple Home app. Here are a few steps you might find helpful to resolve this issue:

  1. Check the HomeKit Limits: If you’re nearing the HomeKit accessory limit (100 devices), it might be necessary to remove some devices to allow for new ones, including your M2 Hub.

  2. Ensure the Apple HomeHub is Working Correctly: Make sure that your Apple HomeHub, which could be a HomePod, Apple TV, or iPad, is functioning properly and connected to the network. Issues with the HomeHub might prevent devices from staying connected to HomeKit.

  3. Pair Directly via Aqara Home App: If you’re having trouble with the Apple Home app, try pairing the M2 Hub directly through the Aqara Home app to ensure it’s working correctly there first.

  4. Restart the Router: Network issues can sometimes be resolved by simply restarting your router to stabilize the connection.

  5. Firmware and Software Updates: Make sure that all related software, including the Aqara Home app and the firmware for your M2 Hub, is updated to the latest versions.

If these steps don’t resolve your issue, it might be helpful to contact Aqara Support or refer to their technical support for further assistance. Let’s keep the conversation going; feel free to share updates or any additional issues you encounter!

@shivp0707 It sounds like your M2 Hub is having connectivity issues with the Apple Home app. Let’s try some troubleshooting steps that might help:

First, ensure the hub is properly powered—check the power source and indicator lights to confirm it’s on . Next, verify it’s connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and that it’s on the same network as your HomeKit hub (like an Apple TV or HomePod), as a network mismatch can cause communication issues .

Restarting your router and HomeKit hub (e.g., HomePod, Apple TV) can also refresh connections—try unplugging them for 30 seconds, then plugging them back in .

Check if there are firmware updates for the M2 Hub via the Aqara Home app (under the hub’s details page)—outdated firmware can lead to compatibility problems .

If the issue persists, verify the HomeKit setup: ensure the hub is properly added, and consider removing it from HomeKit and re-adding it following the manufacturer’s instructions . Also, check if the hub works normally in the Aqara Home app—if it does, the problem is likely related to HomeKit rather than the hub itself .
