Need to authenticate with TV!

[diegoweb100]

HI,

I have 2 TVs so I've set-up both the TVs as externalAccessory. Even if the TV was authenticated correctly the first time, each time that I restart homebridge I need to reenter the pin. I don't know if this is correct or not and if can help Home app Setup code is equal for each TVs.

Any idea? I'm doing something wrong?

Seems like your homebridge forgets the cached accessories for some reason.

Meh, actually homebridge doesn't store the external accessory context.. wtf.

Okay, I disabled external accessory mode for now as its broken, the TV doesn't get stored in the homebridge cache, as soon as I find out how to achieve that I'll add it again - any info is very welcome.

Well if it can help, homebridge is storing the accessory, in fact after the restart, I had to delete them from the UI in the external accessory sessions (Unpair Bridges / Cameras / TVs / External Accessories) not into the "Remove Single Cached Accessory"

Well its actually homekit itself that stored that "version" of the device. Anyway, the latest version 2.4.2 has a working external accessory mode but it needs to re-scan the TV channels on each homebridge boot.
