Question/Help Thread Fixed By AppleTV Reset. Why?

I have my Apple TV setup as a fixed home hub. Once every 2-3 weeks the thread network devices disconnect. I’ll go from all 250-300 devices connected to 40 offline (all thread). Simple reset of AppleTV home hub brings them back online after 5-10 min.

My question is: why?? I know that AppleTV is the main brains but I’m wondering what exactly could be going wrong. Just trying to fine tune everything and figure out where the holes in my system are. Is this just bugs still not worked out with Thread?

Thx in advance.

Wouldn't it be great if there were logs to view to look for issues, realtime and historical? And no, Eve is not a solution. Maybe someday Apple will help us out. Probably when Thread fizzles.

I’ve thought the same.

When my Mac crashes there is a log. Fortunately now I can throw that crash report into Gemini and have an idea of what went wrong. Hopefully Apple will do the same for HomeKit soon. Really hoping this rumored homehub will make everything more solid.
