Not sure if I need to open a ticket on GitHub or not, but I have been trying to setup these bulbs with little success.
The bulbs connect to Apple Homef fine, but when enabling pairing mode, the bulbs may or may not connect to Home Assistant. I have a strong Wi-Fi network and 3 Apple HomePod mini acting as border routers. Some bulbs take 5-10 tries to connect to HA
Out of my 5 bulbs:
2 connected to HA first, then were shared to Homekit,
2 connected to Homekit then were shared to HA (because they wouldnt connect to HA first)
1 connected to Homekit but wont share to HA at all.
In HA, the two I connected natively are connected fine but the two I shared keep becoming unavailable.
I also grouped them all via a helper, but when doing a group command only a couple bulbs respond. All bulbs respond well in Homekit though.
Looking at the logs, I get errors like but I can ping the device fine. I do have Unifi network but have everything setup correctly (I think):
