Newbie alert: How do I "add the AqualinkD bridge" in IOS? #151

Hi: I've got Homebridge running on a Raspberry Pi, and am trying to get AqualinkD to work in it. I seem to be very close -- I've installed MQTT and the homebridge-aqualinkd plugin, and I think I have configured it properly: the Homebridge log window is showing (among other things):

[05/10/2021, 12:07:32] [aqualinkd] Initializing aqualinkd platform...
[05/10/2021, 12:07:32] [aqualinkd] Connecting MQTT broker to homebridge.local:1883 with topic aqualinkd
[05/10/2021, 12:07:33] [aqualinkd] Successfully connected to MQTT broker.

so it seems like I should be ready to go. But, following the GitHub documentation, I don't know how to "add the AqualinkD bridge" in IOS. I've been looking for QR or numerical codes for this purpose, but can't find anything.

This is probably obvious and I'm just blind to it, but could someone clarify? (At present, nothing pool-related is showing up in my iPad's Home app.) Thanks!

You should use the Homebridge QR code, AqualinkD is simply a platform (or set of accessories) to Homebridge. Once you add Homebridge to HomeKit then all AqualinkD should be available, usually in default room, then move them to the room of your choice.

Aha -- I misunderstood. Thanks!
