I’ve change the wifi password in my WIFI home, i’ve do the homey in recovery mode for change the password and now the homey in connected in the “new wifi”.
But after this, Apple HomeKit don’t discovery the Homey device.
I’ve remove the Homey device in Apple HomeKit and after this i’ve search a new device, but when i insert the code 200-20-200 for search the new device, this not found.
I’ve try to remove and reinstall the App HomeyKit, but is no work.
I’ve a similar problem wen i try with raspberry and homebridge with my older device Vera. If i don’t change the macadress in homebridge, the device don’t have discovering by the Apple HomeKit, because you found the older device( macadress) in memory and don0t associate newly.
strange behaviour of Homey(Kit): Suddenly all devices where gone in HomeKit, Homey was shown in HomeKit correctly without an error. Tried to restart HomeyKit, no success. Tried to restart Homey, no success. tired to delete HomeKit data in the app, no success, tried to give Homey a new name in the App, no success, delete the bridge, the app and reinstall, no success.
Homey could be found, but not connected. Any idea why?
Not sure what would cause HomeKit to just lose all devices, especially if the devices are showing up on the settings page. I also haven’t received any crash reports that might point towards a reason.
I’m running 2.1.2 on my Homey as well, but haven’t run into any issues yet (however, I don’t really use my Homey so the amount of devices it “exports” through HomeKit is rather limited).
HomeKit should be able to support (much) more, but I never tested HomeyKit with that many devices (not even close to it), so I can’t definitively state that it should work.
Looking back at your initial post, what exactly do you mean with “Homey could be found, but not connected”? Can you post a screenshot on what it looks like?
Given that you can change the name, I assume that you have installed the beta version of the app. Can you try uninstalling it and moving back to the stable version?
I am sorry, but the reinstall had no effect. Same result then before.
Maybe this might help a bit: I have tried the Atom experiment, this works since an hour.
I had some “free” time today and tried the following.
Delete HomeyKit and reinstall it after a reboot. Then delete every single device from Homeykit, the idea was that Homey and/or Apple HomeKit has a problem with the amount of devices during connection process.
Result: Homey was connected to HomeKit at once.
Now I tried to add on device after another, either I have the same problem again on a certain point or everything stays fine.
There is now one more issue, when I started the there where a few devices with status “unknown” after deletion. After a reboot, a lot of devices where added again but not all. 2 questions now:
Why?
What to do with “unknown” status in several devices?
Unknown devices are devices that are returned by Homey’s WebAPI, but are unknown to HomeyKit. Sometimes this happens, and it might be necessary to increase the “settle time” setting in the HomeyKit app settings.
If you have a lot of devices, it may take a long time before all devices are properly initialized. Since there isn’t an “all devices ready” event that HomeyKit can listen to, all it can do is just wait a long time and hope that all devices have been initialized. That’s the settle time.
