"No Response" in HomeKit.

It seems that most of the situations where you can face "No response" in Home app are due to networking issues.

Have merged/single 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi networks

Some routers and access points allow the usage of a single SSID name for both 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz. This can create some issues and it's recommended that you keep separate networks for 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz with different SSIDs.
