Couldn't connect to Homekit Bridge

denisov-vlad · April 27, 2021, 12:10pm

Hi!

I’ve been using Homekit integration for 9 month but after upgrade to 2021.4 it stopped working. Then I removed integration and created new in configuration.yaml:

homekit:
  name: "HKTest"
  port: 51839
  filter:
    include_entities:
      - demo.demo

Also removed homekit.HASH.state in /config/.storage dir. After that I’ve restarted HA and tried to add accessory in new home, but connection failed.

Logs from HA:

I haven’t seen any logs when Home app tried to connect. Curl example (url in Safari from iOS also works):

➜  ~ curl 192.168.88.252:51839
{"status": -70402}%

Could you help please?

Did you try with demo.demo literally?

denisov-vlad · April 27, 2021, 2:26pm

Yes. It was the last step in my research.

pedolsky · April 27, 2021, 2:32pm

demo. is no valid domain and so I think this is the reason why.

denisov-vlad · April 27, 2021, 2:34pm

There is an error in documentation?

pedolsky · April 27, 2021, 2:39pm

Fascinating. I never read the page to the end. Anyway, I would try it with an existing entity.

denisov-vlad · April 27, 2021, 3:04pm

Tried to add only occupancy sensors, saw it in logs, but Home App still can’t connect.

So that there are no misunderstandings: The ‚home‘ app detected the HA bridge properly? (QR code)

denisov-vlad · April 27, 2021, 6:32pm

It starts connecting after QR code scan, after 2 minutes the error appears and there is no any messages in logs. That’s strange because even I use curl I see messages.

pedolsky · April 27, 2021, 6:46pm

Would you please try ‚naked‘?


homekit:
  name: Home Assistant
  filter:
    include_entities:
      - binary_sensor.motion_bathroom_occupancy

denisov-vlad · April 27, 2021, 8:27pm

All logs were before adding accessories in Home app, after adding there is no logs.

pedolsky · April 27, 2021, 8:34pm

Failed the connection once more?

_Mike · April 27, 2021, 8:45pm

I’m not sure I understand how taking off his clothes would help

denisov-vlad · April 28, 2021, 6:41am

It still can’t connect.

pedolsky · April 28, 2021, 7:00am

Have you tried rebooting your router?

denisov-vlad · April 28, 2021, 9:10pm

Of course I’ve tried.

Mukund · December 13, 2022, 12:52pm

In case someone stumbles upon the same issue - restarting the phone & homeassistant fixed it for me.
