Homekit integration - adding more entites, how to update?

Configuration
1

I have hass setup with homekit integration with all latest version as of today.
I manually specified the include entities in the configuration.yml and all working for so far.
last week i added a camera.front entity and hass shows and play stream fine. I want to include this camera entity to homekit so i could see from iphone. I simply added the entity and restarted hass, but my iphone home app i see no new entities, wondering how would sync or update this?

here is how the config look: (i just kept couple entities to give an idea instead of putting everything here)

homekit:
  - name: MyHASS
    filter:
      include_entities:
        - light.aeon_labs_zw098_led_bulb_level_2
        - light.aeon_labs_zw098_led_bulb_level
        - camera.driveway
    entity_config:
      light.aeon_labs_zw098_led_bulb_level_2:
        name: Bedroom Light
      light.aeon_labs_zw098_led_bulb_level:
        name: Entry Door Light
        name: Garage Door
      camera.driveway:
        support_audio: True

Hi

did you manage to update homekit? I’m setting up my system, so adding entities after setting up homekit HASS bridge. But I don’t know how to “push” new entites to homekit and find them in the Home App
(I can do that by removing the HASS then adding back. It’s ok new entites are there. But in that case I have to reconfigure all my Home App, not very friendly).
