HomeKit Activity Zones for cameras in Home app are ignored

[DEMinSoCAL]

All of the sudden, 2 of the 3 front-of-house cameras that point to the road are triggering a motion detected alert every time a car drives by, despite that each of the cameras has an activity zone set that removes the road from what is being monitored. This is not a new setup...it's be running for quite a while without issues but all of the sudden I am getting constant notifications of motion when a car drives by (which is often on our road).

I have tried removing the zone and redrawing it, and toggling as many options as I can but the problem persists.

My settings are to only record/detect people and vehicles, and to notify only when a clip is recorded.

Any ideas what I can do? I believe one of my Apple TV 4K's is the hub, but not sure which one (we have 5 in the house).
How can I identify which ATV4K is acting as the home hub so I can reboot it?

Any other ideas?

If you go in the Home app, hit the house icon at the top left, scroll down to home settings then scroll down to “Hubs and Bridges”, it will show you which Home hub is connected, on standby or disconnected.

How long has this been going on for? In my experience, with 25 total Home Hubs in my house, whenever it switches to a different one, either by a network reboot, power outage, or randomly, the automations, camera notification schedules and others act all wonky for about an hour or so. Seems to be an issue with the information handoff to another hub. It eventually stabilizes though.

For example, I have a few cameras in my house set to deliver notifications when I am not home and only at night. When the Hub switches, I get these notifications during the day when I’m home. This just happened a few hours ago today and I was wondering how they haven’t fixed this yet. Been going on for years.

This issue has been for two days now. I turned off notifications for one of the cameras and now today the other camera is driving me nuts. I only get the notifications when I am home (another issue I have with Home notifications is I have to be on WIFI, any WIFI, to get Home notifications). It just won't send me notifications when my iPhone is on cellular only.

When it works, it works great. But these mysterious issues drives me nuts, especially when I didn't change a thing!

You can try hard rebooting your iPhone. I’ve learned that can help some HomeKit issues since it’s attached to your AppleID and Keychain.

Wouldn’t hurt to reboot your WiFi network as well.

I rebooted all my Apple TV's and so far, so good. Time will tell.
