Here’s the reply: ```auto {"device":{"deviceName":"My tempSensor","type":"tempSensor","product":"tempSensor","hv":"1.5","fv":"0.1025","universe":0,"apiLevel":"20220501","iconSet":1,"categories":[4,7],"id":"cac9a396bd0e","ip":"10.0.0.79","availableFv":null}} ``` Since it is a fairly simple sensor, for now I made a flow with Logic that reads the /state URL and parses the temperature, and then sets that to a Virtual Device 😉 ---

To check if mDNS-SD works properly you can download e.g. an app for Android called mDNS Discovery - check for bbxsrv → below is the screenshot where you can see some blebox devices in local network. Please check if you can see your tempSensor. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/9/f9be3209ea1c58a6003f19974d55303695f07c96.jpeg) ---

Installed the app. And it found the temp sensor. But it does not show up when I try to add the sensor in Homey App. ---

OK, and what is the ID of the bbx (on the blue bar - like bbx-f6cfa2f11d4f)? What is the IP address of Homey? ---

Everything looks fine… It’s weird that Homey can not find the tempSensor… One more thing I can think of - please reboot Homey and try adding tempSensor again… ---

Restarted Homey. It didn’t work. ---

Here is some details of the device from the wBox app: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/3/a3406cdb740593ee2878b49f796928090c65dbb6.png) ---

Everything looks fine. To be honest, I can’t tell why Homey can’t find the device. Unfortunately I have no impact on that - mDNS search is an internal Homey feature, I just tell it to search bbxsrv and nothing more - it usually works fine… The last thing I can think of is: - please try adding the device again. - after it fails please go in the Homey App to Applications-\>BleBox-\>Setitings and there push a button to create a diagnostic report. Please send me the ID of the report You’ll get - I’ll check it, maybe there will be an error shown. ---

Hello, I can see that Homey can’t connect to your BleBox device - it discovers it via MDNS-SD, but when it tries to connect then an error is thrown. Here is the error (EHOSTUNREACH is network-level error: host is not reachable - usually from the router): Error: connect EHOSTUNREACH 192.168.128.88:80 at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1555:16) { errno: -113, code: ‘EHOSTUNREACH’, syscall: ‘connect’, address: ‘192.168.128.88’, port: 80 } So you have to check your network configuration… ---

I had a meeting with the IT manager. He sees this in the router info: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/8/18850a8543e44c3e9b576965aabf8df0dbc2760b.png) But the BleBox app shows a differentt mac address for the sensor. Could this be the cause for the problem? Why does the sensor have 2 mac addresses? ---

> [@staa-mou](#): > > But the BleBox app shows a differentt mac address for the sensor. > Could this be the cause for the problem? > Why does the sensor have 2 mac addresses? Please don’t mismatch BleBox ID and MAC address - those are different things and on the screen provided by you from wBox app I don’t see MAC address at all. If you have an IT manager, then maybe he could trace the traffic between Homey Pro and your BleBox device and troubleshoot it? If you use Homey Pro 2023 then you (or he) should be able to SSH to homey and check ping/tracert to BleBox device. I think it should also show that it is not reachable. ---

Weird. I’ve checked how it is with my BleBox devices, but I’ve got the same address in wBox app and In my router. So maybe it is a problem - I don’t know… I’d suggest to try this ssh connection. ---

Hi Piotr, Today I received a Switchbox Light. The Blebox App on my iPhone found it directly and I can control it with no issues. When I try to add this device to Homey I get the “no new devices” message. I have already tried: - restart the homey Blebox app - reboot homey - reboot the router and all AP’s Maybe I have an old or new version of the device… Info from the device in the Blebox app: Device type: switchBoxLight Hardwareversion: s\_swBL\_1.0 Softwareversion: 0.1021 API type: switchBox API level: 20200831 Any idea why I can’t add it? All my other Blebox devices work just fine. Thanks !
