Connecting to Homekit (Homebridge) - configuration error

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi Guys,

I’ve got a problem with pairing my homebridge devices with HA.

I’ve installed HA on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine using this tutorial https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/installation/

To be more precise, with:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/hassio-build/master/install/hassio_install | bash -s

HA have installed fine. After that I wanted to control my homekit devices (accessible via homebridge) from HA.

In order to do that I’ve added

discovery:
  enable:
    - homekit

to my configuration file, and waited for homebridge to show up in the HA dashboard.

unfortunately I can’t add my homebridge to HA, because after inserting required PIN code, I’m getting an error describing that configurator/configure command have failed.

From the logs I’ve extracted this error log:

Does anyone here have any idea how to tackle this issue?

I’m having the exact same problem qwhen trying to configure homebridge with the HomeKit controller.
Any ideas?
If you find a solution please reply it here, I’ll do the same if I found.

same here… no idea how to fix :’(

any workarounds to get the homekit controller thing to play???

Does really no one uses Hassio in combination with homekit?!? I mean the controller thing???
I’m really stucked here :frowning:

Unlinking my iphone from the homebridge did the trick!

REALLY?! Can you explain what exactly i’ve to do “unklinking”?! :open_mouth:

I might be wrong, but it looks like only one client can simoultanously connect to the homebridge.
You probably paired your iPhone or IPad to the homebridge once (by scanning the QR or manually entering the 8digit code). I just undid that, so removing the connection to the bridge from the Apple Home app. Immediately after that, I was able to succesfully link HASS to the Bridge.

i didn’t try it yet!

I mean, i have a really huge home scenery with about 120 actors and if i remove the hombebridge <-> home link than every rule which is connected with some homebridge device will be deleted

i’m super afraid to try this
