Having this same issue, I paired the device and it works just fine on Homebridge dashboard but the TV doesn't appear in HomeKit at all.

I am having this issue as well. It is asking me for a pairing code when I go to add it in HomeKit. I’m using a TCL TV

Scan the Hombridge QR when asked for the code

Mine doesn't even show up on Homebridge nor HomeKit. Here's the logs I see:

It found the TV but I have no idea how to pair it. When tapping + on Home app, it does not show the TV at all. Help!

Have you tried pairing at [homebridge_ip]:8060 ?

Yes, but it shows the URL isn't valid. Tried on Safari on either Mac and iPhone, same issue.

[ahmadnazirafiq]

The instruction wasn't very clear. Is the port ending homebridge_ip is the homebridge instance port? Or was it something else?

Hi. I'm very sorry but gave you the wrong URL. The actual (default) web interface is [homebridge_ip]:8182 .

same issue here device is correctly paired in homebridge and shows up as an accessory in homebridge, add the bridge in homekit, the bridge gets added but no device shows up in homekit to control.

did you manage to get this working?

I had to add the accessory manually, did you try that? My bridge has been connected already but the device would not pop up automatically in HomeKit.

How do you add it manually? Any other item in homebridge has always shown up automatically once the bridge has been added

Ok, here is what I did:

• First installation of the plugin (my home bridge is already connected to HomeKit) -Apple Home App -> Add accessory -> more options -> then I found my tv device

After that I did some minor changes which caused the buttons to stop working. I tried to revert my changes and finally deleted my TV accessory in HomeKit manually.

That's when I started running into the same problem. Config was working and accessory shown in the homebridge. But I have not been able to add or find it via HomeKit.

Now I had two options which you can try:

And this was working for me: In your Homebridge settings you can reset bridges, cameras and tvs. I deleted every old entry, restarted homebridge and after that I could add the accessory manually again via HomeKit.

or Try to run the plugin as child bridge, add this bridge and test again
