iOS14 - Home App freezing when editing scene

Cupertino, September 18, 2020

Does anyone else have the problem that on iOS14 the home app freezes when editing a scene which contains a thermostat?

Crash report clearly states that "scene-update watchdog" is the problem.
It seems like it's linked to thermostats and that iOS and iPadOS handle the scene update differently.

On the iPhone the app locks up immedialtey if I edit/try to leave a scene containing a thermostat, on the iPad i have to open the thermostat setting within the scene to get it to freeze.

Adding and editing the thermostat while creating a new scene works without problem

Removing and readding a thermostat from Home/iCloud did not help.
Thermostat is Eve Thermo.
