HomeKit shows devices as Not Responding

Configuration
1

Hi Everyone,
I’m trying to get HomeKit support on my Home Assistant configuration to have some devices on Home app as well.

This is my configuration:

homekit:
  port: 51926
  name: HomeAssistant
  filter:
    include_entities:
      - switch.power_outlet
  entity_config:
    switch.power_outlet:
      type: outlet

It’s super easy and super simple.
I can add the Home Assistant bridge in HomeKit. It works for some seconds, and then the power outlet and the HA Bridge show as “Not Responding”.

I’ve tried to:

  • Remove .homekit.state, no luck, same behavior
  • Remove and add Home Assistant accessory, no luck, same behavior
  • Trying to access from another device, same behavior
  • Trying to reboot iPhone, no luck, same behavior

I really can’t understand what to do and why it works only for some seconds.

Someone can help me to understand what’s happening?

Thank you

Hi @giuseppe64
How do I add 2 or more Switch Entities in your Code?
I have multiple Sonoff Devices that I have in HA and want to show in HomeKit app. I have added 1 as per your code and it is working just great, however when I try to add a 2nd or 3rd it says “duplicate entry”

I am sure it is just the way I added the extra devices however I am still learning this code?
Thanks in advance

Hi @brucys, you can add more devices under:

  entity_config:
    switch.power_outlet:
      type: outlet

for example, for two outlets:

  entity_config:
    switch.power_outlet:
      type: outlet 
    switch.second_outlet:
      type: outlet

and so on!
