Please help with YAML config for Homekit integration

Configuration
1

I’m struggling with a .yaml configuration for the Homekit integration.
Can somebody tell me why the first example is valid, but the second one throws an error “Invalid config for [homekit]: contains duplicate items: [21063] for dictionary value @ data[‘homekit’]”:
Valid code:

homekit:
  - name: "Homekit YAML"
    filter: 
      include_entities:
        - binary_sensor.one
        - binary_sensor.two

Invalid code:

homekit:
  - name: "Homekit YAML"
    filter: 
      include_entities:
        - binary_sensor.one
        - binary_sensor.two
  - name: "TV Accessory"
    mode: accessory
    filter:
      include_entities:
      - media_player.tv

It is most probably a formatting error but I can’t find it.

The second bridge you’re creating (TV Accessory) should have a port number specified. Check out the example in the ‘Manual Configuration’ section on HomeKit - Home Assistant

It looks like your error message is referring to the default port 21063.

yes, this seems to do it.
It also makes sense that if you’re only using one Homekit integration you may skip the port and hope for an auto-assigned, while having multiple should point to specific ports in the configuration.
