There have been many reports and posts about "ghost" home centers over the past year, apparently starting with the botched implementation of the "new architecture." A high-level summary of the problem is: **Problem** Home Hubs that are not paired with an actual physical HomePod or Apple TV accessory appear in every room as "Not Responding" as well as "Home Settings -> Home hubs. & Bridges". Ghost Hubs usually have room names like "Default" or "Master Bedroom" and will have numbers after the name like "(2)", which is a default naming scheme designated by Apple. **Known Fake Solutions** - Turn on hubs from home/all devices - Remove and re-add all hubs - Completely rebuild home - Delete ghost hub from Apple ID device page - Delete ghost hub from other residence of home devices - Delete the ghost hub from the menu "Home Settings -> Home Hubs & Bridges". (This is never possible, but Apple support regularly suggests it). **More context** Once with the iOS 17 update, the incident rate has unfortunately increased. This post is intended to consolidate information about the issue to reduce duplicate posts and make it easier for people to find symptoms, discuss the issue, and report to Apple. Apple prioritizes fixing errors based on the reports they receive directly. Unfortunately, abstract problems like this are hard to categorize and record for them. A few people have reported that Apple has told them that they are aware of the problem and are working on a fix, but it's a low priority because it doesn't affect usability. **Call to Action** First of all, if you have this problem, call Apple Support and report it. Second, if anyone thinks they have found a fix or workaround for this problem, please post here. **Archive** The following is just a small sample of previous posts on the issue for your reference. - https://www.homekit.blog.com/r/HomeKit/comments/18br89m/how_do_i_remove_this_ghost_hub/ - https://www.homekit.blog.com/r/HomeKit/comments/113htdo/anyone_know_how_to_remove_duplicate_ghost_home/ .com/r/HomeKit/comments /18xp3kh/how_to_get_rid_of_this_this_hub/ - https://www.homekit.blog.com/r/HomeKit/comments/171sar6/losing_my_mind_please_help_nonexistent_home_hub/ - https://www.homekit.blog.com/r/HomeKit/comments/171sar6/losing_my_mind_please_help_nonexistent_home_hub/ - https: //www.homekit.blog.com/r/HomeKit/HomeKit. /11m0y8r/cant_get_rid_of_phantom_hubs_please_help/ - https://www.homekit.blog.com/r/HomeKit/comments/125tt3y/duplicate_ghost_apple_tvs/ - https://www.homekit.blog.com/r/HomeKit/comments/18kdtghost_apple_tv_apple_ever/: //www. homekit.blog.com/r/HomeKit/comments/18xxp0z/how_to_remove_hub/ - https://www.homekit.blog.com/r/HomeKit/comments/lj1vji/duplicatephantom_hubs/ - https://www.homekit.blog.com/ r/HomeKit/ comments/idojny/exchanged_homepod_now_cant_remove_it_from_homekit/ - https://www.homekit.blog.com/r/HomeKit/comments/13pt7t3/previously_removed_device_now_showing_after_165/
