tl;dr: In Apple Home all of my devices are shown with “No answer” and I can’t switch them.
I have Home Assistant exclusive on a raspi 4 with ssd. For external use I configured my traefik on another host to route traffic to it from a separate domain. For this I configured
http:
use_x_forwarded_for: true
trusted_proxies:
- 192.168.2.22
homeassistant:
external_url: "https://my.domain.tld"
internal_url: "http://192.168.2.165:8123"
22 is my traefik-host and 165 is Home Assistant.
All this works fine until I tried to integrate HomeKit. I used configuration tips from this page. I tried just adding
homekit:
and I tried adding
homekit:
- name: HASS Bridge
ip_address: "192.168.2.165"
advertise_ip: "192.168.2.165"
port: 21065
Every time I can integrate the bridge in Apple home and all devices are shown. But none of the device can be used, everything has “No answer”. In my local network there is a Homepod mini and an Apple TV 4k, both show up in Apple Home as bridges.
I searched the web and all I found was something about IGMP. I have no vlans, no special network config, just a Fritzbox and everything on one local LAN, ipv6 switched off. I switched off Multicast TV in my Fritzbox, but no effect.
Any help is appreciated, thanx in advance!
