Apple HomeKit device showing No Response
No Response means your home hub is offline or missing. HomeKit needs an Apple TV 4K, HomePod, or HomePod mini as a home hub. Check that your home hub is powered on and connected to WiFi.
Apple HomeKit uses a home hub to provide remote access and automations. Without a home hub, HomeKit only works when your iPhone is on the same WiFi network as your devices. A home hub must be an Apple TV 4K (3rd generation or later), HomePod (2nd generation or later), or HomePod mini.
