It’s almost as if sometimes the link negotiation process stalls mid-sequence, and then eventually times out. But the fact that the OH2 HomeKit link acknowledges the new connection request right away tells me that my physical network link doesn’t seem to be the problem. I have yet to figure out why it sometimes connects successfully while other times it stays disconnected. If the connection fails, the Home app on the iPhone displays No Response for all of my devices and the next log entry will be:Ģ0:01:10.727 - Terminated homekit connection from /192.168.1.90:54578 When I’m in the Home app on my iPhone and the HomeKit link is down, if I tap the Home or Rooms icon at the bottom of the screen (which I assume makes it try to refresh the list), I immediately see the following lines in the log file: 19:59:55.110 - New homekit connection from /192.168.1.90:54578ġ9:59:55.111 - 200 /pair-verifyġ9:59:55.130 - 200 /pair-verifyġ9:59:55.149 - 200 /accessories When I set the log trace level to INFO I started seeing some potentially useful things. One minute the iOS Home app will show me the status of my lights, and the next it will show Updating or No Response. I’m noticing that the HomeKit link seems to come and go at seemingly random times. I’ve even tried setting up one of my iPads as a home hub, but it hasn’t seemed to help keep things “connected”.
I’ve got a little more info on this issue (which will, hopefully, help in debugging the problem). Any ideas of things I can try to correct this, or is it a known problem with the 2.1 code? Needless to say, if my iOS devices can’t connect to my OH2 HomeKit server nearly instantaneously, the HomeKit integration isn’t very useful. I’ve seen a few other posts with reports of disconnect problems that seem similar to mine, but it isn’t clear that others are experiencing exactly the same problem. None of these different settings seems to make a difference in the HomeKit disconnect problem I’m seeing, but I would like to know what I’m supposed put into this field anyway.
I’ve tried leaving it blank, making it the IP address of my OH2 server machine (an iMac), and putting in an otherwise-unused address on my network. On the Configure HomeKit Integration window in OH2 I wasn’t sure what it’s looking for in the Network Interface field. Sometimes it seems to re-connect to the HomeKit service in OpenHAB after quite a while, but other times it never successfully reconnects and the only solution I’ve found is to clear the pairing in OH2, delete the bridge in HomeKit on the iOS device, and then start the whole configuration process over again. I am able to import my Lighting devices into HomeKit running on my iPhone, but if the iPhone disconnects from the network (I can reproduce this by turning off WiFi and turning it back on), when I re-run HomeKit it shows me that all of my devices are giving a “No Response”. I’m setting up a new OH2 installation, and I installed the HomeKit integration.
