Adding new user to home drops paired devices

Open paullj1 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

When adding a user to a home, I’m guessing a new ID should be generated, or pairing might need to be renegotiated in some way. As is, when adding a new user to the home, devices built with this library are no longer reachable, and must be re-paired as new devices.

Thinking this is a bug in this library, since other HomeKit devices are fine.

I create a pair on one device, and add the other accounts to the home application, which immediately have access to control and everything works. However, I have Apple TV as a hub.

I was kinda having a similar issue until I put in yield statements, see PR 138

Yeah, I also have a few Apple TV’s and HomePods. I don’t think it’s a hub thing. I’m afraid to do any more testing since I have about 20 devices that use this library, and adding them all back in, and setting up all my automations/scenes again was a huge pain. Curious to see if the PR gets merged though.
