I have a RPI3B+ running HypriotOS. I installed home-assistant under docker thankyou. I am running node-red and emqx (MQTT) as separate docker images on that same RPI. I am happy with that arrangement so no need for comment.
I have Home Assistant up and running thanks.
I got an alert. It prompted me that a device was on the network. Turns out it was my WebOS TV and therefore Homekit Integration beckoned.
I added the following to my configuration.yaml:
homekit:
filter:
include_domains:
- sprinklers
include_entities:
- ESPHome.sprinkler
The ESPHome sprinkler is a wifi driven board of my own design and works fine integrated into Home Assistant. I thought it might be fun to be able to turn sprinklers on or off while binging on netflix on the television.
The Homekit connection wizard fires up, gives me a code but comes back as:
An unhandled error occured while attempting to pair with this device. This may be a temporary failure or your device may not be supported currently.
Log reports:
Pairing attempt failed with an unhandled exception

Any suggestions please?
