Home Accessories Background activity

[saw27]

Have seen a few items here and there but nothing exactly the same. I have hard reset my iPad, set up as new, and have home app iCloud disabled. I did not install any IOT devices and the home app is deleted. Battery usage is 20%+ overnight without wake to use and the culprit is Home Accessories Background activity. The app logo is the one that shows when an app is not installed so I am still thinking it is the Home app. Anyone else having this issue and know of how to fix it. I’m disabling bluetooth and Wi-Fi while sleeping which is helping but not really what I call a solution as this is a new problem.

Yep… I made a thread about this very thing in the HomeKit sub forum.

iPhone Battery Usage HomeKit

This is new… Is anyone else getting high battery usage for HomeKit? Mine is always at the top of the list. Never seen this kind of behavior before. Wonder if it’s HKSV now with the unlimited cameras. I have quite a few on there. iPhone 13 Pro on iOS 15, 15.0.1, 15.0.2

I have the same issue on my Iphone7. It started happening after I upgraded to IOS 15.1. Did you figure out any resolution for this issue?

I’m showing 6% usage right now. I haven’t done anything different but we’ll see If that changes. Still higher than the 1-2% I saw in iOS 14.

Hello ive been suffering the home accessories battery drain problem on my iPhone 15 Pro and I noticed that you have several replies under relevant topics. So have you got any solutions for this? My phone is almost unusable for now and I have to charge it for about 3 times a day.

Nothing I did different. Just fixed via Apple’s software updates. I usually notice this battery drain during the first iteration of a major update though.

For the record, I also upgrade my phone yearly at launch. Don’t know if that has anything to do with it.
