Interesting. Is SmartThings an inherently insecure app? Is this also why it doesn't show 'unlocked'?

I ended up dropping the project for unrelated reasons, so never got back to resolving this issue. It is not occurring in my other ESP32 projects.

Thanks, that's what I assumed. It boggles the mind why Espressif didn't include bluetooth support for Homekit.
