Zone Issue

For some reason, when I tell Siri "turn off the lights below", it will also turn off the lights in a room upstairs. I have looked in the app to make sure the room is properly located and that is: it is only listed as upstairs. Any ideas for why this happens?

Mercury Premis Bluetooth (?) Range Issue

My Kwikset Premis never seems to work through HomeKit unless you are within 2 or 3 feet of the lock (defeating the whole purpose of making it an external lock). Once activated, it speaks to the hub for a minute or two, where it can be removed from the remote control before it reacts again. […]
