Looks like iOS 16.2 was released minutes after my last post. (just finished updating)
Good news ! After the update, ALL my shades are showing the correct status on the Home View screen.
My long complex shortcuts that include home scenes and other shortscuts run very quick with NO errors. They used to complete but Siri would always say something went wrong at the end after awhle. (even though everything worked)
After you update to 16.2, you need to make sure all Homepods, iPads, iPhones, Apple TV’s & Apple Watch on your network are ALL up to date with todays update.
After that, open the Home app and follow these instructions for part 2 of the update.
“all you need to do is open the Home app, tap the more options button, and then tap Home Settings. Choose the Software Update menu and tap the Home Upgrade Available banner. Again, this is only available for iPhones and iPads running iOS 16.2 beta.”
