HomeKit component config failing in 0.107.0

Configuration
1

Maybe 0.107.0 is a little pickier than previous versions, but my HomeKit component (not controller) config is failing when it did previously work. Does anyone see anything glaringly wrong here?

Why is switch excluded, don’t you want switch for sprinklers?

3

Good question. I have a ton of entities in HA and I want to pick and choose exactly which ones I pass on to HomeKit. So I exclude all domains and then include individual devices.

4

I do the same thing, I use a include_entity.yaml for my HomeKit stuff. I just saw that and figured I would ask! All my stuff seems ok so far…

5

@Corey_Maxim Is your homekit config working in 0.107.0? If so, do you mind sharing? I probably just have something goofed up which was acceptable in previous versions.

6

Yes everything is working good!
configuration.yaml

homekit:
  auto_start: false
  filter:
    include_entities: !include include_entities.yaml

I’m not sure if this helps, I hope it does!

Thanks @Corey_Maxim! So, you do not use any excludes? Doesn’t HA load everything by default?

8

no, it only loads the includes.

I don’t know what is going on here. I dumbed it down to just this and it still fails.

Invalid config

The following integrations and platforms could not be set up:

Please check your config.

homekit:
  auto_start: false
  filter:
    include_domains:
      - light

Did you try,

homeKit:
  auto_start: false

Only? Just to see what happens?

I don’t know what happened, but it magically started working after I installed 0.107.1 and restarted a bunch of times. Maybe I need to put the crack pipe down for a while. But it does seem good now!
