I have installed homebridge by nfarina and fibaro homebridge plugin by ilcato.

When i start homebridge using this command: DEBUG=* homebridge

The log below:

And that was the last line. I had started homebridge manually. When i try to connect home app from iphone, i give the code, it says "Couldn't add homebridge Home couldn't connect to this accessory"

Everytime i start homebridge i delete persist folders, remove cachedAccessories etc.

In my config.json I change the username field (that shows a mac address) also by a digit. Still same thing is happening.

Please help.

Try to change in config.json the grouping parameter to "none".

[ilcato]

Which version of node.js do you have?

[sameeraakbar]

Hi!

I was just playing around with the config.json parameters, changed grouping to room and polling period to none. It just worked!! Now im able to see all my devices on Home app.

I do have another question, How do i control a few devices from appearing in home app? Like I do not want Hue , Sonos and a few relays from not appearing.

Thanks so much for your fast reply!

I suggest you to have grouping "none" and polling period to "2". For filtering devices: define a new user in Home Center 2 and give to it the visibility only on the devices you want. Than change username and password in config.json and restart homebridge.
