@gojimmypi the right way to remove your HomeKit accessory is:
Remove accessories that aren’t responding from the Home app. Select an accessory, scroll down to accessory settings
and select Remove Accessory
.
If you remove it when it is not connected, your accessory will think it is still connected, if you then want to connect to it again, it will say already connected.
Solution:
Rebuild a new main.bin
file, then first do an esptool.py erase_flash
and then re-flash your esp32 with your new code.
do an
esptool.py erase_flash
and then re-flash
aha! that worked perfectly! thank you so much.
Do you think it would be a good idea to have that suggestion in the ESP32 log?
btw - I've added https://github.com/AchimPieters/esp32-homekit/compare/main...gojimmypi:esp32-homekit:patch-1 in https://github.com/AchimPieters/esp32-homekit/pull/1 that adds staging / preview wolfssl support to the esp32-homekit
.
The version there includes a Kconfig file for disabling features more easily in menuconfig to limit flash size.
