I am new to HomeSpan and just learning it and I have came across with an issue. I've loaded some example codes to both of my ESP32s (wroom32d and S3), and I have successfully connected and used them with a "local" home in Apple Home (with no apple tv or homepod installed, so i could not access it from outside my house network). Recently I bought an Apple TV and now it acts as a hub for my home. But after setting it up as a hub i can not control any of my ESP32s no matter what. I can connect them to the home, but says "no response" and nothing more. Is there a limitation of homespan or I just have something set up wrong? I have the ESP32 connected to the internet with wifi and the Apple TV with ethernet, but on the same network. |

Try unpairing your ESP32 from the Home App so the devices disappear, and then reset the ESP32 pairing info by typing "H" into the Serial Monitor while HomeSpan is running. Then go through normal pairing process again. Also, check to make sure your router is not somehow configured to segregate ethernet traffic from WiFi traffic, or is in any way limiting the ESP32 from communication with the Apple TV. Also note that the Apple TV and the iPhone IOS MUST both be updated to the same version --- if the Apple TV is even one version behind, this can mess up HomeKit (same goes for HomePods). |

Ohh yeah, the Apple TV was on a different subnet using ethernet. After trying it out with Wifi it worked fine. Thanks for your help! |
