Can't connect home bridge to HomeKit on iPhone

[hayesmccarty]

Current Situation

Installed Homebridge on my iMac, node version is 10.180. I tried several times to add Homebridge to my iPhone HomeKit and each time it tells me that I may need to start my accessory before I can add it. I have restarted homekit several times as well as my computer. Also it tells me that my accessory needs to be towed on and connected by ethernet which my iMac is.

You need to install a plugin and configure it first.

You mean like an Anthony bridge or a ring camera?Hayes McCarty(703) 819-7777On Feb 17, 2024, at 10:52 PM, Northern Man @.***> wrote: You need to install a plugin and configure it first.

Yes, you can’t see anything in the Home app, as you haven’t installed anything
