New User - HomeKit Support

Configuration
1

Hi Everyone,

So im using a Synology NAS and have Home Assistant installed through docker (core install, not HASS.IO)

I have added the following code to my YAML file

discovery:
  enable:
  - homekit

Unfortunately, I cant see any of my Elgato Eve Energy Switch in Home Assistant. Im not really interested in using the Home app on iOS, I would rather everything be in HA which i assume im using the right component (HomeKit Controller)

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Richard

Couldn’t figure it out so just got new switches. TP-Link, which work very well.

Hi,
i’ve ran into the same problem with my Eve Thermo. HA can’t find your Eve Energy because it’s using Bluetooth LE and not WLAN. But i’ve read somewhere, that someone is working on that.
