An action started on Apple Watch could run on the paired iPhone about 50 seconds later, after the watch had already reported failure. Home Assistant gives user commands priority over sensor reports and watch-face updates, and removes a request from the waiting queue if it is cancelled or expires before sending.
If the iPhone receives an action but does not report back in time, the watch stops automatically repeating requests that might run the action twice. Instead, it asks the person to check whether the action ran before trying again.
Bruno Pantaleão Gonçalves corrects this behavior in the iPhone relay described in the September 23 edition. That earlier change restored connections inside some home networks; this one addresses unexpected delayed or duplicate actions.
