iPhone no longer sees homebridge

See original GitHub issue

Hey,

I use homebridge with homebridge-homeassistant. Unfortunately I’m not sure exactly when, but my Home app no longer sees the devices it should. All are showing with the status of ‘No Response’.

If I run debug=* homebridge -D I see state changes of devices on my network so I know the integration with homebridge to homeassistant is working, but there seems to be an issue with the homebridge->homekit/iPhone part of the process.

Can anyone give me any hints or tips for where to begin debugging? At first I thought the process might not even be running, but that’s not the case; my config still exists in /etc/systemd/service/homebridge.service and systemctl status homebridge shows me:

pi@raspberrypi:/etc/init.d$ systemctl status homebridge ● homebridge.service - Node.js HomeKit Server Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/homebridge.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2017-05-31 20:33:35 BST; 3min 21s ago Main PID: 27621 (homebridge) CGroup: /system.slice/homebridge.service └─27621 homebridge

I saw something similar. I @brutella’s home app I noticed the the homebridge homekit accessory was blocked. Initially I could unblock it in the app, but after a while this did not work anymore. I had the impression that the evohome plugin was causing this (I recently switched off my thermostat due to summer), but wasn’t sure. To tackle the problem and promote a mre stable homebridge, I separated my homebridge accessories into different instances of homebridge. The same thing happened, but just for the evohome instance. So, now I identified the faulty plugin, I can try to solve it (when I have time since other plugins remsin to work fine) and homebridge is much more responsive. Perhaps this a method you can apply as well?
