Adding Homebridge to multiple devices

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to add Homebridge accessory to multiple iPhones (under different Apple IDs).

I can successfully add it to first iPhone but can’t find to a second one (it can’t find it). If I remove persist directory I can add my Homebridge on either device but only to one of them. After I add it to one of my iPhones another can’t find it.

What should I do to troubleshoot this issue?

Both iPhones are running on iOS 11.2.5 I’m using latest Homebridge version (0.4.38) on RaspberryPi

the only other option besides invitations is running one homebridge instance per iOS device. depending on the devices you want to control and the plugins you use this can work better or worse like inconsistent status display. but normally it is just fine.
