Homekit exclude_domains not working for automations

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I already read a lot of topics about specific homekit configuration not working, none of them seem to match with my specific problem:

I have the following config. I would like to exclude all automations, so I won’t see them in HomeKit. For some reason, they are still showing in the Homekit and are not excluded. Everything else in the config (include_domains, include_entities) is working fine. The config is in a separate homekit.yaml file.

homekit:
  - filter:
      include_domains:
        - scene
      exclude_domains:
        - automation
      include_entities:
        - light.toilet
        - light.living_room

Am I doing something wrong with the exclude_domains? I tried to restart Home Assistant, reload the HomeKit integration, restarted the HomeKit app. Thanks for your help!

Hi harmjanr,

have you tried using includes only?
Sometimes the Apple device has to be restarted, too.

Hi @pedolsky ,

Thanks for your reply. I changed the config to have include_entity only and restarted the Apple devices, no luck unfortunately.
