For some devices, you must first add them to iOS, then remove them from it again, _then_ add them to an alternative controller. In the first step, some network information gets exchanged that is necessary for your device to be found. The Home Assistant documentation states the following: “If the device is Wi-Fi based and has no physical controls or screen then you may need an Apple HomeKit device like an iPhone or iPad to get the accessory onto your Wi-Fi network. For example, for a Koogeek LS1 you must add the accessory to HomeKit on your iOS device, then remove it from the iOS device. This leaves the LS1 in an unpaired state but still on your Wi-Fi. Home Assistant can then find it and pair with it.” The same will apply when you want to add such devices to Homey. ---

I received my VOCOlinc Diffuser, but I cannot add it to Homey. - I first connected the device to HomeKit. That worked. - I tried adding it to Homey, through the HomeKit controller: no devices. - I removed the device from HomeKit. - I tried adding it to Homey, but no devices. Not as Air Purifier, Humidifier or Light. What am I doing wrong? ![IMG_D5A7ED139986-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/1/a1bde6a97326550b47b806412166a4be2d3088c6.jpeg) ---

I came one step further by pressing 10 seconds on the vocolinc, (after deleting in homekit)… Than I saw u de humidifier the vocolinc, got the screen to fill in the homekit pincode, but on submit, nothing happened… ---

> [@anon61197305](#): > > I removed the device from HomeKit. From what I’m reading on the Home Assistant forum, the device actually presents as two devices on iOS: a humidifier and a light. Did you remove both? (not sure if it’s the same device so may not apply) ---

Devices are default combined into one tile on iOS. I made sure I removed both (if you remove the one tile, both devices are deleted). I tested it also in Home Assistant, with the same “remove” action it was found automatically. So I seems somehow there is something going wrong on the Homey/this app. ---

Hi Guys, Is it possible to add devices connected to homekit via homebridge? Homey ≥ Homey Homekit controller app ≥ Homekit ≥ Homebridge ≥ Device I have a Dyson Air Purifier connected to Homekit via homebridge. Visable in Homekit as an Air Purifier. When I try add it via Homekit Controller App, it is undetected. Am I doing something wrong or can the Homekit controller app not see these devices connected via Homebridge?? ---

Hi, thanks for the cool app - I have a problem that I am sure will be solveable with a little help: My Homebridge (latest version 1.4.0) runs as a docker container on my Synology NAS and is already connected to several devices without any problem. Runs fine, everything green. When trying to connect from my Homey Pro via the HomeKit Connector App the Homebridge can be found (Add → New Bridge) and also accepts the PIN but after that it gets timeouts (30.000 ms). Same LAN/IP Range, Homebridge is reachable via Browser without any problems and works like a charm. Anyone has a clue or hint for me, how to finally get my Homey Pro connected to that docker Homebridge? Thanks in advance! ---

Try running the docker in “host” under network, or try to create a macvlan on synology… Homekit does some strange things with tcp/ip packets and doesnt run well under default docker network settings ---

Same problem. I have 4 Vocolinc humidifiers and cant they connect via homeykit: " no devices." @robertklep, can you fix it? Can a donation help with this? I am ready for to do it 😉. With homeassistant they work nicely, but now i have home assistant only for humidifiers. ---
