This issue has occurred throughout each and every iOS 10 beta including the latest public stable versions.
It's been reported by many others as well and have notified Apple and Insteon support about it but currently no resolution. I imagine this is because Insteon hasn't released an updated app for Sierra yet so hopefully this will be addressed in that update. But wanted to make an official post here about it as well so others can provide additional info which hopefully will help Insteon resolve it sooner.
I assumed was a beta issue, but to rule that out I did a complete reset of everything. That is got a new iPhone 7 (no beta software installed), reset all 42 Insteon devices manually (switches, mini remotes, keypads and outlets), freshly installed iPhone app, deleted the homekit data from AppleTV, (even reinstalled the AppleTv software on all 4 AppleTV's reinstalled Mac Sierra Public version on both computers, reset the hub, and while Insteon has not been responsive on helping delete my account created an entirely new in the meantime. After doing all that the issue persists.
Where I"m able to add 6 or so items without a problem then the "No Response" issue occurs momentarily. Then add a few more than the No Response issue persists. It's not a particular insteon device causing it, since I've tried removing those ones but after the no response issue appears it remains even if you delete most all the insteon devices. I imagine it's an issue with homekit data corruption of some sort, just like how the insteon app crashes if you add a home app time related automation.
Also this issue happens on any device. Such as iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, my partner's and friends iPhones, and iPads. So it's not device specific and doesn't make a difference if on Wifi or Cellular. And have tried on Verizon and AT&T. So definitely something to do with the data. Also on latest firmware of Hub.
While I only have Insteon devices, I hear on Twitter and forums that it only applies to Insteon. That is people who have Elgato and other homekit devices do not experience this "No Response" issue on iOS 10. Able to control the devices via siri, and if I tap the (i) on a device in Home app it refreshes and shows the status of the device and allows me to turn on/off, but once i leave that screen it goes back to "No Response in either gray or red. While I didn't see this much in the earlier iOS betas now along with no response issue, when it does show a status in Home or Insteon it't not always correct. Such as if I turn a outlet on or off, doesn't reflect on the app. And each device has been setup to be linked to and from the hub. Also automations in Home such as control an accessory based on another accessories action isn't working either.
I can provide much more detail but just let me know what will help as I've been testing this for many months trying to isolate the issues and working with Apple as well incase they need to make updates on their end even though it seems specific to Insteon so most likely will lay more on their shoulders via an app update and firmware update.
