What happens if I change my Wi-Fi network?

Asked 2 months ago
When you change your Wi-Fi network, it can affect the connectivity of your Apple HomeKit devices. HomeKit gadgets rely on a stable Wi-Fi connection to communicate with each other and with the Home app on your devices. If you switch to a different Wi-Fi network, your HomeKit accessories will no longer automatically connect unless they are set up to recognize the new network. To ensure seamless operation of your HomeKit devices on the new Wi-Fi network, you will typically need to reconnect each device. Some accessories may allow you to change the Wi-Fi settings directly within their associated app, while others may require you to reset the device and add it back to your HomeKit setup. It is advisable to consult the user manual or support resources provided by the manufacturer of your HomeKit accessories for specific instructions on reconnecting them to a new Wi-Fi network. For more information, users may consider visiting the official website, where additional support options may be available.
