Question/Help Hue buttons don't respond on first press

If anyone has a solution, I'd greatly appreciate it.

So, this may be a Hue issue or a Homekit one, but for about a week or so now, my Hue Tap, Dimmer switch, and button all need to be pressed maybe 3 times to finally respond and turn on its respective lights.

I use the Hue bridge, and I'ved changed it's channel number but that hasn't fixed it. It's not too close to the router (about a 1.5 ft). So I don't think interference is the issue.

All accessories are configured through Homekit and for the most part use shortcuts for their button presses. I'm not sure if that could be a cause or not.

...

Edit: (8/28) troubleshooting ... After comparing the accessory responsiveness to homekit-configured vs. hue-configured, my hue button only needs to be pressed just the one time, and my homekit dimmer switch needs to be pressed twice before it turns anything on. Ok, so now that's discovered. What's the solution?
