Hello šŸ™‚ Iā€™m a user of the app KomeyKit and Iā€™m really impressed of it but Iā€™ve a little problem. The app always forget devices Iā€™ve deleted (to not show twice in my HomeKit app). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/d/d76ef5796677dea186e939824d1021ca618e7a7a.png) Have you got same problem, solution for me ? šŸ™‚ Have a nice day, Julien ---

Sorry to hear about that. The best way for this to get solved is to create an issue for it on Github: [https://github.com/swttt/com.swttt.homekit/issues](https://github.com/swttt/com.swttt.homekit/issues) Please include as much information as possible. For instance, at what point does the app forget which devices should be excluded? ---

Hello. Iā€™ve a little problem. Iā€™ve change the wifi password in my WIFI home, iā€™ve do the homey in recovery mode for change the password and now the homey in connected in the ā€œnew wifiā€. But after this, Apple HomeKit donā€™t discovery the Homey device. Iā€™ve remove the Homey device in Apple HomeKit and after this iā€™ve search a new device, but when i insert the code 200-20-200 for search the new device, this not found. Iā€™ve try to remove and reinstall the App HomeyKit, but is no work. Iā€™ve a similar problem wen i try with raspberry and homebridge with my older device Vera. If i donā€™t change the macadress in homebridge, the device donā€™t have discovering by the Apple HomeKit, because you found the older device( macadress) in memory and don0t associate newly. Is possible is the similar problem? Do you have a solution? ---

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.

Do your devices show up in the settings page for Homeykit? ---

Good morning Robert, yes they do. I also tried to delete a few devices and read them but also no success. ---

Not sure what would cause HomeKit to just lose all devices, especially if the devices are showing up on the settings page. I also havenā€™t received any crash reports that might point towards a reason. ---

Out of curiosity: did this start after your Homey updated to the latest firmware (2.1.2)? Thereā€™s a similar issue posted [on Github](https://github.com/swttt/com.swttt.homekit/issues/157). ---

Hi Robert, do not really know when this started, but for sure I have made the update. ---

Iā€™m running 2.1.2 on my Homey as well, but havenā€™t run into any issues yet (however, I donā€™t really use my Homey so the amount of devices it ā€œexportsā€ through HomeKit is rather limited). ---

Do you think itā€™s the amount of devices. I have round about 170 devices runningā€¦could this cause the issue? ---

HomeKit should be able to support (much) more, but I never tested HomeyKit with that many devices (not even close to it), so I canā€™t definitively state that it _should_ work. Looking back at your initial post, what exactly do you mean with _ā€œHomey could be found, but not connectedā€_? Can you post a screenshot on what it looks like? ---

Well, like I wrote homey could be found when I try to add a device: ![IMG_1658](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/2/2442b47d21ef6cefe108f5b56b8249471e963c9d.jpeg) In my case I called it Nathan. Next Step, I can enter the configuration code and then, this: ![IMG_1657](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/0/0ddaa2498d066beef5dede37871899b28ea82070.jpeg) Itā€™s said: Nathan couldnā€™t be added. Home couldnā€™t establish a connection to the device. ---

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? ---

Good evening Robert, 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 ā€œfreeā€ 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 ā€œunknownā€ after deletion. After a reboot, a lot of devices where added again but not all. 2 questions now: 1. Why? 2. What to do with ā€œunknownā€ status in several devices? Regards Andreas ---

Unknown devices are devices that are returned by Homeyā€™s WebAPI, but are unknown to HomeyKit. Sometimes this happens, and it might be necessary to increase the ā€œsettle timeā€ 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 isnā€™t an ā€œall devices readyā€ event that HomeyKit can listen to, all it can do is just wait a long time and _hope_ that all devices have been initialized. Thatā€™s the settle time.
