KNX does not work in iOS 11 #104

Closed zork17 closed 5 years ago

zork17 commented 7 years ago

I have 2 homebridge instances. The first one has only KNX with 96 devices and the second is with all the other plugins. After upgrade to iOS 11, it worked for a short time. Now, after a few hours, the second homebridge instance with all the other plugins is working, but the most important plugin - KNX - does not work. There are no errors in the log, I see only the following lines every now and then:

In the Apple Home app I see No Response in red for all the KNX devices (and also for homebridge). I have the latest versions.

Everything worked great for many months... What can I do?

Upgrade your Apple TV, very bizarre but that also seems to impact your functionality when connected to Wifi for some reason...

I needed to unbind homebridge from Homekit and pair it again to get access again (using an iPad a central, not an ATV4). Homebridge somehow thought homebridge to be a malicious piece of hardware.

zork17 commented 7 years ago

What do you mean by unbinding? I also have an ipad and not ATV4. I ended up deleting the folders and changing the username and removing and adding the Knx homebridge again. The big problem is I had to enter most of the rules and scenes again. The other homebridge service continued to work all the time. As I said before, this knx only homebridge worked at the beginning for a few hours and then stopped. Is there a quicker way to solve this in the future?

snowdd1 commented 7 years ago

errr, by unbinding I meant exactly that. I removed homebridge from the home, and then deleted persist and accessories folders.

Since I do not know what went wrong in the first place, I do not have a suggestion for you.

I now used a split installation, running 5 instances (4 floors of KNX and one for TPLINK hs100 and probably others in the future). To do that, I did some minor enhancements to homebridge-knx, such as making the web server port configurable to allow multiple instances on one machine. See here

I have the same problem, after updating the Ipad it’s work for a short time and then stop working, sometimes resumes working sometimes I‘ve to to turn off the ipad and reboot the raspberry to get it started working again.

My homebridge now ran stable for four weeks. I just updated knxd from v0.12 to v0.14, that didn't break anything either.

I split the installation into 5 instances, hoping to gain reaction speed in Home App and in the Home Watch app, which simply didn't happen. So it seams no matter if you have 70+ accessories in one bridge or distributed over 4 bridges.

bbdj-dev commented 6 years ago

I think taht the problem is into HomeKit... I’ve KNXD 0.14 and after re-configuring Homebridge and HomeKit the system worked fine for two weeks and than stopped working again (HomeKit could no longer update the devices), I disconnected HomeKit from all devices (iPhone and Ipad) for 1 hour and after it has started working again.
