Hi RavenSytem Team,

Thank you for your great job, the devices i am using with you software works really good and performs very well.

But now I moved to our new home and so I have new Network with new Wifi settings. So i had to reset the devices to change the wifi. 1) i was able to reset 2) i was able to find the devices in wifi 3) i was able to change the new Wifi and when i check Router, there are also those devices 4) Problem: I tried to add the devices to homekit, but its just loading and loading and nothing happens.

any tip for me to solve this isseu? am I doing something wrong? do i have to reflash everytime?

Thank you in advance. Have a nice weekend.

Why didn’t you just rename your new WiFi network to the old SSID+pass? Not only RC devices but all your iPhones and stuff have to remember new credentials - Too much hustle)

Try deleting devices from Home.app and resetting the by rapidly pressing a button 10x times.

The old SSID was a random one and we moved recently and now i am setting up the home network proper.

I try again to delete in home.app and reset shelly with 10 x times. (I tried also few times and will do today few more time lol ... same issue also with home magic led strip controller)

https://github.com/RavenSystem/esp-homekit-devices/wiki/RavenCore Here's the main way, so you shoudn't actually delete them from Home.app:

Entering Wifi AP mode When a power cycle occurs, device will try to connect to its known wifi network. If after 5 minutes wifi network is unreachable, device will enter in AP mode so you can connect to it and reconfigure wifi settings.

Indeed sometimes there are pairing issues after ssid change. If bunch of powercycles won't help to complete the pairing sucessfully, only then remove & reset:

Resetting device to factory defaults Within first minute since device boots, wait about 5 seconds to allow device to boot completely, and then toggle any switch quickly (from Home App or from external switches) at least 10 times.

Hi, so finally I had time this weekend to check the issue. 1) Entering Wifi AP mode when device can not find Wifi for 5 min - did not work with homekit

2) RESETTING to Factory defaults - worked fine on Sonoff basic and Shelly 1

3) Now the next problem i have is, I have a Magic Home RGB controller which has same issue

Thank you for the help.

Superb, it works fine, thank you very much. I have a RGBW strip, which GPIO number is for the white? currently its mix with 3 Colors. I would like to donate your great work guys, where can I do this?

Thanks again.
