Same issue here. My Homebridge is running on Synology Docker. Device don’t respond. Shellys still reachable and can be switched. Something is wrong with Homebridge. I didn’t update anything or changed settings. Running system just stopped in the last days…

I’m having a similar issue with my synology nas running homebridge in docker. All homebridge devices are at no response currently and have tried restoring from a backup, restarting but have not resorted to resetting back to defaults.

I did update the UI as it was out of date. But not sure if this caused it. There is nothing in the logs as well

All good, mine has started working again. Not sure what really caused it.
