How to setup the HomeKit Controller integration?

Hello,

I have been using Home Assistant for a while with some basic integrations (Hue Lights and weather).
I have Home Assistant installed in a Docker Container on my Synology NAS.

I want to connect my Aqara Hub to Home Assistant, but that does not work by default. I read that you can do this with the ‘Homekit controller’ integration. So i have unlinked the Aqara hub from the Apple Homekit and it is ready to pair with another homekit ‘server’.

I am not sure how to proceed from here on. When i go to the integrations i can add the Homekit Controller. But after a minute i get the error: “No unpaired devices could be found”

Do i have to enable this integration in the configuration yml?

It’s spring 2022 and I’m having the same issue.

Every now and then the bridge even pops up for a sec but then if I try to hit submit it gives me the same unpaired devices could not be found prompt.

If anyone knows how to fix this on a Synology running HASS please help. I really don’t want to have to deal with moving my HASS instance unilaterally over to HOOBS.

@Mooya @zaretsky Did either of you find a solution to this?

Wrong place to ask as this subforum is for ZHA → https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha

This specific subforum is not about “Xiaomi Gateway (Aqara)” or “HomeKit Controller” integrations.
