Camera not showing as an available accessory in home app #32

The camera is all configured correctly in homebridge and the logs show that the camera is connected successfully, but when I search for the camera using the homebridge code it doesnt find anything. I have previously had it working less than a day ago when I first had it configured. It was all working fine then. The only thing I changed was I uninstalled and removed a couple of platforms (harmony hub, sonos and wemo) as I have got a raspberry pi running homebridge which is already controlling those devices, so I didnt need my PC version of homebridge also pushing these devices. Once I removed these platforms, the devices were still showing on my device, so I deleted that homebridge from my device and all the devices went with it. I then changed the homebridge pin and mac (as I know homekit is a bit funny about readding a previously deleted homebridge with the same code) and readded the homebridge back into my account. My nest camera sensor showed up straight away, but the nest camera itself will not show up. I have tried stopping and restarting homebridge several times, ffmpeg is installed. As I said, I have had this working, the only thing that has changed is I uninstalled my redundant platforms which I mentioned above and deleted the config for them in my json. All of my details are still the same and the log shows its adding the camera fine, but it wont show up. I do seem to remember manually deleting the camera before deleting the bridge when I was trying to remove the redundant devices from my home app, so I don't know if its sort of blacklisted the camera somehow, similar to how homekit wont lewt you re-add a bridge that was previously deleted from it without changing the information for it.

Running homebridge on Windows 10

Please try remove the accessory pairing information under .homebridge folder. If you deleted the camera from HomeKit when the homebridge isn't running, HomeKit on iOS won't tell homebridge about the removal of the accessory, resulting accessory still think it's being paired thus not showing up in add accessory screen.

Thanks! Emptied my persists folder and started homebridge again. My devices never reconnected in the home app so I just deleted the bridge and readded it again. The camera shows up now
