Anyone else's smart home suddenly acting weird after the latest update?

Hey everyone, I've been having a really strange issue for the past two days and I'm wondering if it's just me or if others are experiencing this too. After my smart home hub (I'm using a [Brand Name] Hub) auto-updated, a bunch of my devices have been glitching. My living room lights turn on randomly at 3 AM, the thermostat keeps resetting to 72°F, and my smart lock occasionally shows as 'unresponsive' in the app even though it works fine manually.

I've tried the usual stuff: rebooting the hub, restarting my router, and re-pairing a couple of the problem devices. It helps for a few hours, then the weird behavior comes back. I checked the release notes for the update, but they were pretty vague about 'general stability improvements'.

Is this happening to anyone else? If so, have you found a fix or a workaround? Should I just factory reset the whole system and start over, or is there a way to roll back the hub's firmware? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Yeah, mine's been acting up too since the update—my lights have been doing random things. I saw a few people on the [Brand Name] subreddit suggesting a full factory reset, but hopefully they push a fix soon.

Yeah, same here with my setup. I had to disable all my automations for now as a temporary fix while we wait for a patch.
