Multiple HomeKit bridges showing unexpectedly

uturnr · April 24, 2021, 4:49am

I have been getting notifications about a new bridge every time I restart Home Assistant ever since I started to try to filter devices. I removed my HomeKit Bridge from the Home app on iOS, and now I see two notifications every time I restart.

My configuration is as follows:

configuration.yaml

homekit: !include yaml/homekit.yaml

yaml/homekit.yaml

filter:
  exclude_entities: !include exclude_entities.yaml

yaml/exclude_entities.yaml

- light.fan_light_switch_light

Any ideas why I have multiple HomeKit instances showing?

As one would expect, immediately after posting this, only one HomeKit Pairing option is showing.

I am also seeing the same. Stale pairing data / configuration in a DB somewhere? It’s certainly not in my configuration.yaml. 8-(

I did once have a HomeKit integration on the default port number, but it is not in my configuration.yaml or an included file now.

I’m having the same problem! Did you ever figure out what’s wrong or how to fix it?

I have one bridge created via yaml, yet two appear one with default port one with port specified in yaml. When I try to configure the default one via UI just to see what happens, it tells me that it’s configured via the yaml but obviously it isn’t since I only have one bridge
