I’ve really struggled to get a consistent HomeKit experience ever since I’ve upgraded my router to an Netgear Orbi RBR20. I used to not be able to add HomeKit to the Home.app, but with the help of some very generous folks (via here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-RBR20-is-blocking-HomeKit/m-p/1811685#M72786), I’ve been able to get it to come up, but it rarely works.
Someone said that the latest builds have mucked up HomeKit integration and that I should delete my homekit.state file, which I did. But no luck — it still is really poor. It’s also a struggle to get the Home Assistant bridge to appear when you do that, but eventually you get luck and it shows up randomly.
I’m kinda convinced it’s my Orbi, but Hoobs for Homebridge integrates smoothly and works pretty reliably.
Any ideas? I’d appreciate the help. I’m pretty beat down with all of this and thinking of abandoning HA.
Thanks,
Chris
