iOS 10 HomeKit

I’ve got homebridge running on a RPi 3B. Works fairly well, and i was able to add the bridge to my iOS 10 device no problem. However, after a bit HomeKit isn’t able to receive updates from the bridge. The bridge hasn’t crashed however. Instead it will repeatedly attempt to send an update from the looks of it. On the iOS device the status shows Updating indefinitely. Interestingly enough if i go over to my iOS 9 iPad, and open a 3rd party home kit app (since there isn’t a home app) and send a command, it seems to go through and stop the loop. However, once i try to get an update from the iOS 10 device its the same loop. Here’s the specific output that seems to loop from DEBUG from command line session (not currently running as a service).

has anyone else run into this issue, or have any tips? Currently only have Lifx (which didn’t have to be added to config?) and Smartthings plugin running. The local IP is the iOS 10 device.

Try deleting home bridge from the home app On your RBPi go to your home bridge directory cd /home/pi/.homebridge sudo rm -r persist/ sudo rm -r accessories/ Add home bridge again from home app

See if this helps

This appears to be an issue with the way lifx-lan deals with offline devices, i’ve found a not so perfect solution for the problem for the time being. Thus im closing the issue here.
