Using the Home app on my iPhone, it hangs whilst trying to add Home Assistant as an Accessory. I open the Home app and select Plus icon top-right -> Add Accessory -> Don’t Have a Code or Can’t Scan -> Enter Code -> Type in code given to me by HASS. The app then waits indefinitely with a spinning circle top-right, and doesn’t display any discovered accessories.
I have just moved my HA config from a Raspberry Pi running Hassbian (where Homekit has been working fine - need to move to a faster server) to Docker, where everything works except Homekit. It’s essential I get this working as I was using it for presence detection.
Given what I have already tried below, would someone be able to suggest any further troubleshooting steps I could try please?
- Docker on Ubuntu 18.04
- iOS12

- The HA logs only show the following, with nothing happening when trying to add an accessory:

- I’ve rebooted my iPhone and ensured it’s on the same network.
- I can ping my iPhone IP from the host and from within the HASS container
I’m stuck with what to try next - please help!
@cdce8p - I saw you had some great suggestions in one of the GitHub issues - would you mind having a look at this too please?
Thanks in advance.
