Trying to get HomeKit Devices connected to HA to get Nest Protect

Configuration
1

I have several Nest products and am trying to show the Nest Protect inside of HA. I bought the Starling Bridge to connect to HomeKit. I can see everyone now on HomeKit. When selecting the HomeKit Devices, its asking for a Pairing Code. I can’t find anything like that. I have HomeKit runnong on an HomePod Mini. How do I either find the Pairing code (its not on the documentaiton, device or power code) or how so I install without it? thanks.

It’s been a spell since I got mine running. . . I believe I ended up removing the Starling from Homekit, then added the Starling Hub to the Homekit Device integration (HA prompted for the Starling Pairing Code [on underside of the Starling unit] ).

Zonomo, glad that worked out.

Do you have a Nest smoke alarm? I was considering adding one to the setup, but don’t want to get much more involved with Google if I don’t need to (Apple PR won the platform wars in my house [g] ).
