Homekit - Matter Switch Tile Discrepancy Introduced with iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2
I have several Inovelli White Series Matter-over-Thread smart switches commissioned in my Apple Home. These switch have several components - a typical dimmer switch tile, another dimmer control for the LED status bar, and a tile for the Programmable Switch component. Typically I "hide" the status bar tile and the Programmable Switch tile on the room view and keep my Home view as uncluttered as possible.
After updating to iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2, the Programmable Switch tiles have moved into the Home View and I cannot remove them. Even if I long-press the tile and pick "Remove from Home View" they remain annoyingly present in the Home View.
Others on the Inovelli community have reported the same thing and point to Apple as the culprit. Wondering what can be done about this.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
