iOS 16 broke functionality in Homekit

[vskal]

All tiles are misnamed after the update, they all display the name of the area. Tried by renaming the tiles but the weather values do not pass trhough.

Could you please have a look !

Same problem for me. Is there a way we can help by activating logs or something?

[AdeTheux]

Yes, same. About 10 tiles with the local area name, and they all seem related to the temperature.

Same problem here. All sensors are name "Wetterdaten" after updating to iOS 16. Before I had the sensors named like "Coud Cover" or "Wind" or "UV Index". Seems to be related to issue #234.

That’s a HomeKit problem I can’t do anything about. You could use the eve app or hide some sensors via the plug-in config

I found that the final releases of iOS 16 provide a fix for this issue. If you delete the name of each of the sensors that now have the same name, it will default back to the sensor name that weather-plus initially assigned to them. I managed to fix all my sensor names this way.

I am on iOS 16.2 and if I delete I see the default names as you said but if I leave the name field the name of the sensor fills out the name like before. Where do you delete these names!? P.S.: I am one of the unlucky ones who did the home structure update before it was pulled by apple and am now waiting for the final fix from apple. P.P.S.: Do you use the nameNow parameter in the config?

Thanks! That worked. Clicking the "x" next to the accessory name, then typing something in worked for all sensors.

[Tomcraft1980]

Sure I can also rename them, but lint2015 said clicking the "x" would default back to the sensor name and this does not happen in my case. Any suggestions?

It might be because the serial number is the same on all the sensors. When I overwrite the name, it sets them back to the station name immediately.

The serial number is the same because it is the same physical device. I could split up all sensors into different devices but that would result in 120 devices if you have 8 days and 15 sensors. Maybe as an option…

Hi!

thanks for the work on the plug-in!! I have the same issue with the labels not showing in iOS 16 HomeKit. Another plug-in found a solution to fix it.

They wrote the following in the release notes in the update that fixed it:

„Added Configured Name characteristic to the Switch, Stateless Programmable Switch, and Lightbulb services. This appears to be necessary for HomeKit on iOS 16 to show anything other than the accessory name without manually changing all of the names within the Home app.“

maybe you can look into it again and also try to fix it! Thank you!!

the plug-in is the following https://github.com/thoukydides/homebridge-homeconnect

[naofireblade]

Thanks. I will look into this.

[dacarson]

Following the example mentioned above, it seems that we need to use ConfiguredName when updating the tile with the current value.

[dacarson]

When I fix the issue, you can't see the values for a number of the sensors because of the UI of the Home app. Similar issue in the Eve app. Open on ideas on how to improve this. (Ignore the "Now" sensor, as that is my Tempest Weather Station.)

[dacarson]

Can you please try 3.3.4-beta.1 and verify that it works.

[Tomcraft1980]

After update to the final version 3.3.4 all the misnamed occupancy sensors disappeared. Is this intentionally? How can I gett the occupancy sensors back?

[dacarson]

It sounds like the same issue as #291 I am looking into it.

[dacarson]

I did cause the sensors to disappear. I fixed them in 3.3.5.

[Tomcraft1980]

Thanks! Can you publish it to npmjs.com so that we can update the plugin?

[dacarson]

@naofireblade can you help with publishing?

[Tomcraft1980]

Still not published to npmjs.org, so it is not possible to update the plugin via Homebridge UI.

[naofireblade]

Done

[Tomcraft1980]

Thanks! The occupancy sensors are now named correctly with version 3.3.5! Good job!

[dacarson]

Closing as it sounds like it is fixed
