    Somebody else will have to chime in. I don't know if you need homebridge logging or something on the HomeKit side. Do you have your raspberry pi hooked up to a monitor to see if it reports anything?

        Works well...

        This works well!

        I ran into a couple of issues: I accidently plugged the Raspberry pi into a phone charger at one point and it rebooted often when it went undercurrent. User error on my part. However, this cause the app to really freak out a bit and be flakey.

        I imaged the file from my Mac... See this if you use a Mac...

        https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.co...ard-from-a-mac

        Also: it should be noted to write down the code in the config file so when you add the HomeBridge to the HomeKit: you will need that number listed as the "pin" in the config.Otherwise you can ssh to the raspberry pi and look it up.

        Of note: I am starting a clean build of homeseer- so I only have a couple devices... but right now I have two devices just named "lamp module". When I add then, the homekit just has two "lamp module" devices.

        Would it be possible to have the windows app have an option to add the room name to the device for homekit? Maybe the floor too?

        Well done again.

          So I just updated to iOS 11.2 and my homebridge HomeKit devices say no response. Any idea what is going on?

            Homebridge

            You could be running into the problem, I ran into. I did updated iOS, which could have caused the problem.

            I had to remove HomeBridge from the home app, the add again.

            Since I did this, everything has worked.

              Will this get me everything I need to get this working. Or will I need anything else not seen here.

                I got this kit.

                I think the only thing that is different is the SD Card.

                The kit worked well.

                    Changed RPI host name to IP and it worked. Is there anyway to upload my own json file. I have one setup the way I want will only the devices I need that I was using in windows. I tried copy pasting in the config maker but it doesn't seem I'm able to do that.

                      Should be able to copy and paste it into the text box where it is generated. I have my own custom json that I use and I use the tool to upload it to my homebridge without issue.

                        When I right click in that box to past I get nothing. Normally a little window opens were you can click past but I get nothing at all.

                          Just got home to check and I agree no right click option, but you can just use Ctrl-V and it works fine

                              When I was first able to get it to work it was worked good for the whole night. Next morning all the devices were showing as not supported. Reset everything and restarted. Worked good for the first night. Next morning all the devices are showing as no response. Any idea what is causing this?

                                This has been working great for me, but I'm unable to get homebridge to see the thermostat, Here is my config, can you see the issue?? I only see 9 devices (plus the homebridge) in homekit, yet looking at my config I was expecting to see 11.
