Maximum number of accessories/services as per bridge #142

Is there a specification/limitation how many accessories/services can be added as per bridge

Is there a specification/limitation how many bridges can be added per HAP-server?

I experience an issue, where accessories and a bridge (the forth of my setup) disappears after some seconds in the Home.app together with the services/accessories assigned to that particular bridge. No restart of node-red can solve this.

If I change the assignment of the services to an existing bridge, it works as expected. I have some concerns regarding reliability and performance if the number of services assigned to one bridge increases significantly.

I am back from the void. According to the last docs there should not be more then 150 accessory objects per bridge.

djiwondee commented 5 years ago

Thanks! This is indeed a large number. Seems to be sufficient for my case.

Shaquu commented 5 years ago

So do you have more of them per bridge or nrchkb is just bad at huge amount of accessories?

@Shaquu

do you have more of them per bridge

No I don't. Right now I have departed my setup using three bridges with 8 accessories each and some of it with Battery Services linked to Parent Service. If I add one more bridge the setup becomes not reliable. I guess some port conflicts may come up. My understanding is each bridge is closing a port individually...Don't know am I right?
