Ah ah ah ah, just after posting the "Issue" I realized I forget to add the secondary bridge to homekit. #Noob ! Works great! @techface10 did you use the plugin as secondary bridge ? Or as a standard plugin in homebridge ?

IMNotMax commented 3 years ago

Ok, after a few days of use, I see a pattern. With the secondary bridge mode or with direct plugin. Every 48h or so the plugin crashes and the device is not reachable from the Home App but still works from homebridge accessories. I was not able to spot the logs before I understand this pattern. Will post here.

Last behavior, even after restarting homebridge, accessories are still unreachable in the Home App. I have to delete the accessories form homebridge, restart to have the accessories back in the Home App.

And by the way, @sman591 great work ! And thank you for your time !
