How to add new device?

[markyskus]

I try this awesome add-on, working like a charm, faster then the HomeKit bridge but how could I add new devices? in the add-on config I added the new device, restart the add-on but I don't see it in HomeKit and I don't find anything on the web gui

Hi 🙋🏼‍♂️ Thank you for reaching out!

Could you please add some details?

• Version of the addon
• Screenshot or yaml / json of the config

Could you also add details of the entity which is missing?

• Entity Id
• Is it hidden in HA?
• Other useful attributes

[markyskus]

sure On the WebGui of the add-on I see the recently added device, but not added to HomeKit config: include_domains: [] include_patterns:

• switch.frame_art_mode
• switch.ps5
• light.nanoleaf
• switch.pscam exclude_domains: [] exclude_patterns: []

I added the bridge with only the switch.frame_art_mode entity for trying, then added to config the other 3 device, but after the add-on restart they can't find in HomeKit not hidden, just switch-es and an nanoleaf led strip (non-matter version)

@markyskus can you see it in the matterbridge devices? Go to your http://ip_address:8283/devices

If they are listed there, and not in HomeKit, it is an issue between HomeKit and the Matterbridge and not from HA to Matterbridge.

@bedge117 yes, I see there, I wrote it, and I didn't say the problem is with HA and the add-on connection :) Just asking what to do, reboot the HomeKit hub?

[bedge117]

Oh! sorry @markyskus I completely misread that.

If a reboot doesn't work, you may have to go through the process of adding the matter device again. That is, if a reboot doesn't find them.

@bedge117 nevermind :) I delete it from HomeKit and reading it, I only has got this 4 item (and my TV, but it didn't shown up) so easy to reconfigure in HomeKit

Please post an update if everything is working now and close the issue. 🙂

@t0bst4r just delete the bridge from HomeKit and repairing it with all devices other question, now I see there is an update for the home assistant plugin (current 1.0) how could I update this? when I click on it: error - [18:13:22.136] [Matterbridge]: Failed to start child process: spawn sudo ENOENT error - [18:13:22.136] [Matterbridge]: Error installing plugin matterbridge-home-assistant error - [18:13:22.136] [Matterbridge]: Child process stdio streams have closed with code -2

[t0bst4r]

Could you add more context? Some more logs before and after that? What did you exactly do to produce that error?

[markyskus]

[markyskus]

this 3 error line is after clicking on the update plugin button

[t0bst4r]

Okay, I see. Please do not use that button for now. That is currently not working. I’ll build the new addon version for 1.3.0 in the next one or two days. Then you can update using the Addon Update flow in home assistant.
