Hello guys!
Just a heads up: new version arrived: https://github.com/home-assistant/homebridge-homeassistant/releases/tag/2.3.0?platform=hootsuite
Thanks!
after upgrading to this version it totaly broke my homekit 
can’t fix it all day long. I see the bridge but when i adding it i get: couldn’t add (Home couldn’t connect to this accessory)
Tried deleting persist and cached accessories, without luck. tried to reinstall as well - the same.
what it can be?
Hello friend!
Try this:

I’ve just encountered an issue with the homebridge addon. Suddenly none of my devices showed up in Homekit anymore.
While checking the logs of the homebridge addon I found a line regarding the default device visibility. I’ve fixed the issue by adding
“default_visibility”: “visible”
to the platform section in config.json:
“platforms”: [
{
“platform”: “HomeAssistant”,
“name”: “HomeAssistant”,
“host”: “http://172.17.0.1:8123”,
“password”: “”,
“default_visibility”: “visible”,
“supported_types”: [
“binary_sensor”,
“climate”,
“cover”,
“device_tracker”,
“fan”,
“group”,
“input_boolean”,
“light”,
“lock”,
“media_player”,
“scene”,
“sensor”,
“switch”
],
Now the addon works fine again.
No, it doesn’t help. I have the default_visibility already in my config.json, deleted the persist and accessories folder, still getting: Couldn’t add Home Assistant
Home couldn’t connect to this accessory.
Installed the hassio addon, but i don’t see the homebridge in Home app (other devices looks ok)
Tried bounjour browser, also not showing.
using netstat I see the port is listening on ipv4 only (with previous verision when it worked it was listening on ipv6 only)
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ netstat -an | grep 51826
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:51826 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
also i see in hassio plugins homebridge panel that no network port appears at all:
docker container looks like this:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
da9206497277 d89827df/armhf-addon-homebridge "/usr/bin/entry.sh..." 15 minutes ago Up 14 minutes addon_d89827df_homebridge
can you suggest what can i check?
Looking at your command line, it seems like you have installed Hass.io manually (generic Linux install version?)
In that case, it is currently a known issue. Please see our GitHub repo’s issue trackers for more information.
yes, that’s correct.
as far i can see you solved it by adding configuration option avahi-interfaces ?
any chance you can share the steps you did?
do you start the homebridge docker manually? if yes, can you please share your command?
Thanks!
No, it is not started manually, it is a Hass.io add-on and you should let Hass.io manage it. So do not manual start.
Secondly, there is nothing solved. It is a known issue, planned to be fixed in the v1.1.0 release.
Please take a look at our issue trackers on GitHub.
ok, after digging a bit, i removed avahi service from my linux host and now the homebridge appears correct in my Home app.
But when i trying to connect, after entering the code, i’m getting:
Couldn’t add Home Assistant
Home couldn’t connect to this accessory.
Tried removing persist and accessories folders and restarting, still not good, also tried on different iphone as well, got the same.
So not seeing Homeassistant as an option anymore when adding accessory from the Home app. removed persist as well. Using homebridge 1.0.3
Using the bounjour browser the entity looks pretty good.
Not sure what the problem is you are trying to explain…
Have you added “default_visibility”: “visible” to your configuration after the upgrade?
Hello @frenck! How are you today my friend?
Since this morning, after update to version 1.0.3 the home assistant accessory (bridge) has become unavailable:
Another thing is that devices updated from the HA webui does not replicate on my Home app.
Any idea why?
Thanks!!!
I’m not sure why it is unavailable. Have you restarted the addon? Did you notice anything strange in the logs?
For the second problem: Devices added/updated/changed in the HA configuration won’t show that way in Homebrige. This is a limitation of the Homebridge software the addon uses and is documented.

exactly the same issue @Schneider has, Home assistant (bridge) is no longer available. I can’t see it when adding an accessory in the iOS Home app. Updated to 1.0.3, removed persist folder and added “default_visibility”: “visible”. Nothing working. Homebridge logs show everything working as normal.
I found this in the GitHub repository of Homebridge:
This was added/discussed after the upgrade of Homebridge.
Quote from the issue tracker:
Regarding the “Not Responding” situation, if force closing the app isn’t enough then try the following before deleting anything in “persist”. Note that when you delete anything in the “persist” directory, you’ll have to setup Homebridge from scratch (i.e. delete the home from within the Home app and go through the pairing/setup process all over again, losing all of your scenes/automations/rooms/etc.).
- Stop Homebridge
- Force close Home app
- Delete “cachedAccessories” from “accessories” folder in Homebridge directory
- Restart Homebridge
- Reopen Home app
