Definitely not expected behavior. When the iPhone screen is off, notifications should only go to the watch.
Got a tip for us?

I don’t know if anybody noticed this small change yet, but the back arrows in the settings app are now rounded. They were more angular in iOS 10
Battery life has been a huge improvement over dp2 on my iPhone7S. My only negative is that im getting resprings on my iPad 10.5 when I had none on dp2.
To be technical, they will go to both devices, but the iPhone screen should not light up.
Yes, you are correct. But you should only be notified on the watch type deal. So yeah no screen lighting up or notification sound/vibrate.
Are you on the phone all this while? Speaking to someone, playing games, something intensive? Please state your usage.
Build number same as dev beta.
I did not quite understand this "left part of settings app". iPad, I think?
Whoa!! I'm definitely updating to B3 now!!
(in all honesty, how would you even notice that?)
My ios 11 devices have stayed in sync with my gf's ios 10 devices so far. Homekit is flaky as hell in general though. Even when we were both running ios 10 I've had to recreate the house several times. Twenty-something bulbs, 5 door sensors, 3 motion sensors and a thermostat (which also has several sensors). Joy
Pro-tip: if you do decide to recreate your house and you have Hue stuff make opening the Hue app and syncing with Homekit the first thing you do. It at least recreates your rooms and puts the bulbs in the right place before you add anything else.
My setup has been stable and reliable up to this point. I've thought of recreating the room (especially easy since right now, it only has the one iHome SP5 in it).
If I did have to nuke my Home setup, would I have to go whole-hog and remove all my Hue bits from the Hue app, or can I get away with nuking it from the Home side, and then just re-adding (I'm not at home right now so I can't page through and look easily)?[

Don't delete anything from Hue. If you want to be really thorough (some steps may not be necessary but this is the most reliable method)
- Delete the Home in the Home app
- Restart any iOS devices you can lay your hands and restart any home hub (i.e. AppleTV you have at home)
- Recreate the house but don't add anything to it
- proceed to the Hue app and go to Settings -> HomeKit and Siri and sync it. This will recreate all your rooms and bulbs as they were in Home
- Add any other devices you may have
- Invite any other people who need to share your HomeKit setup through the Home app
This should do it, no matter what state the HomeKit database is in.
It's interesting how Apple would spend time making "tweaks" that nobody cares about or will ever spot.
Much appreciated. I'll probably do that this weekend. I'm sorry you've had such trouble, but I'm thankful you shared your fix.
I perhaps overstated the trouble I've had. I find once in it's in and working it's fine but at times where I'm adding/removing devices I've found it can get into a mess or become unreliable (devices not responding etc.) and the best way to get back to a clean state is what I wrote above. I'm pretty sure it'll put you back in shape.
Actually, I was incorrect. There was one issue I was having before the phantom automation issue started (or maybe it coincided and I just didn't notice yet, as my bedroom didn't heat up so fast yet). I was having issues where my Hue bulbs wouldn't respond (via the Home app) and I'd have to unplug the Bridge for a few seconds and plug it back in. Probably not related, but eh.
Sometimes a reset of Hue Bridge and/or AppleTV will clear up transient issues. I suppose that's not really surprising, nothing's perfect. For anything more permanent this reset routine should sort you out.
BTW I did forget to mention that you will have to add your automations again too.
Is it worth changing the title of this thread (it was actually wrong in the first place, it's been for discussing Developer Preview 3) for the influx of PB2 users, as it the same build? Might help some people out with questions and observations. Just a thought.
The automations won't be an issue as I only (currently) have the two, sunrise and sunset.
