HomeKit Home Wrong Location

Same problem here with iOS 17.2.1.... This is so annoying. It wakes me and me girlfriend up at 4am because of random automations triggering.

My home location appears 500 meters away from my real home location. Quick fix is to go away and come back few times, but the same bug happens again EVERY WEEK. Wrong location, wakes me up at 4am ...

Please Apple fix this. I'll definitely NOT recommend iPhone to my friends and family until a fix to this.

I deleted the home app to be safe. the only thing is that to do this you have to delete the homepods and consequently all the automations linked to them. I read that before the transition to the new architecture the homekit information was saved inside the device, but now everything is saved in the cloud, in fact the automations and accessories have not been deleted. This data conflict could also be creating the problem

Today, after the umpteenth time that Apple Home recognized that I was away from home while I was at home and after having spent 3 hours with Apple on the phone in vain, I disabled location-based automations. Definitely unreliable

Same problem here, with a slightly different wrinkle. I have two homes, 400 miles apart. With the "upgrade" to iOS 17, the Home app on my iPhone always thinks it's at the northern home location. The only way to get Home to use the southern home location is to set it in the Home app menu. And once set in the Home app, and I do anything else with the iPhone, the next time I go to the Home app, the location has reverted back to the northern home location.

The upshot of this? I have to manually set the home location in the Home app while at the southern location before I try to use Siri to do any Home command, like turn on a light. If I don't, it will execute that command at the northern home. And since I'm not there, I end up turning on lights or the furnace and not noticing that they are on! So it's not just an inconvenience, it's down right dangerous.

FWIW, the iPhone is running 17.4.1, and each home has an AppleTV 4 running HomeKit with the latest TvOS update.

I live in China, so I have to use VPN to access almost everything, specially Youtube. My Ipad thinks I am in Russia. Apple could add an option to override the location for Homekit, if they are going to use the VPN location, what is ALWAYS wrong.

The first I notice my Ipad was in Russia, i almost call the police :)

I do! And it broke all the automation home/away. It does not detect anymore when home. And one is the old one and the second is for sharing????

any solution?

GPS is not working very well. waiting for Apple, i am using Aqara, gives you better choices, specially using better are than 100 meters range.

Hi, do you have 2 home icons in ios location services on your iPhone, after upgrading to iOS 17.0.2?

I also have these two location entries.

Is there any combination of settings, that repairs our problem?

Here is another Reddit post confirming this problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeKit/comments/178z8ej/homekit_change_my_home_location/

Having the same issue on iOS 17. It locates my home in Home 300m from my actual location.

i have updated Maps but the issue remains. I also deleted my significant locations. Same results.

I changed of iPhone and now it works. Looks like the reset of privacy and location is key.

Sadly this is not a permanent fix.

It helps (most of the time) for a few hours or days.

17.1 is where this problem started for me. Never had an issue before that.
