After
upgrading iPhone to latest iOS 11.3 and iOS 11.4, many iPhone users are facing
issue with HomeKit Apps that the apps won’t start anymore and keep on saying “Loading
Accessories and Scenes”. Moment you will
launch the app it just gets stuck on this white screen that says Loading Home. The
Homekit app seems to be stuck on this. Restarting the iPhone, iPad and AppleTV
does not seems to fix the issue.
Even
the issue is reported with iPhone X and iPhone 8 plus, so the issue is not
dependent on the model of iPhone as on iPad also the issue observed by many
users. This seems to be a bug in the recent releases of iOS and apple should
address the bugs as soon as in next releases. HomeKit devices are worthless as
HomeKit is not working and apps keeps reporting “Loading Accessories and Scenes”.
This is really annoying as each time you will open the app it simply says
"Loading Accessories and Scenes" forever.
To fix
the issue please try below solution/workaround for the problem
Fix 1: Wait on the
white screen and reset config
If you can
wait for 30 minutes, an option is displayed on the bottom of the screen to
reset your HomeKit configuration. But, this will delete everything from your
HomeKit.
Fix 2: Toggle iCloud
Homekit settings
Go to
iCloud on iphone and turner Home off from syncing. After trying a few times to
add the device it may work. Just turning Home off from the cloud worked for many
users.
Fix 3 : create a
fresh iCloud account
Log out
of iCloud - create a fresh iCloud account, open Home app then log out and back
into your real iCloud account
Fix 4: Reset All
Settings on phone
Resetting
the iPhone to fresh have fixed this issue for many iPhone users. But please
take a backup before doing this as this will erase all data from your iPhone
