Unable to add child bridge to HomeKit

[deivuh]

Describe Your Problem:

I've successfully added the DREO plugin to home Homebridge, however when I try to add the bridge to HomeKit on my device after scanning the QR, it stays a while in the "connecting" to bridge screen, and then I get the Accessory Not Found error.

The fan model is DR-HAF004S

The accessory does show on Homebridge accessories tab.

Try turning off the child bridge, restarting homebridge and then turning it back on. If that doesn't work, does the plugin work without a child bridge?

Without the child bridge the fan would not show on Apple Home, but it would still show on Homebridge.

I just updated to the latest plugin version (homebridge-dreo v3.3.0) and that seems to have fixed the issue, I was able to add the child and it's showing up in Apple Home as well.

Thank you :)

Closing this.

Great! Glad that fixed it.
