Multiple Homeys
Hi, I have two Homeys and want to use Homeykit on both... Since the HomeKit code will be the same on both, this doesn’t work. Any advice?
This won't work with the current app, it needs to generate a unique id for each Homey to make this work. I'll try and see if I can whip up a beta somewhere this week.
@jahnkenneth do you know how to run apps from the command line? If so, you can try running the current beta branch, which has a configurable "bridge identifier" setting (that needs to be unique for each Homey):
$ git clone --single-branch --branch beta https://github.com/swttt/com.swttt.homekit
$ cd com.swttt.homekit
$ athom app run
Installed, but still not able to add the second Homey. It does not show up in the pairing dialogue in the Home app. :-(
Did you change the bridge identifier on your second Homey (in the Homeykit app settings), and restart the app after you did?
No, it doesn't need a unique pairing code (I think). Do you use a Homekit hub in your network?
Yes, i have multiple home pods av apple TV´s. One is acting as a hub. Dosent seem like the app has crashed... Should i send you a log from the Homey app?
When you run athom app run, it should log the identifier that it will use. Make sure that it's the identifier that you entered.
If that's okay, and the app logs [HomekitApp] Started bridge without any errors, it might be a discovery issue with Homekit, but that's sadly not something that I can fix (the Homekit protocol is a bit hit-or-miss in my experience, for some people discovery works great, for other people it just doesn't work at all).
The log:

Okay, so the bridge starts successfully. Which means it is a discovery issue. Are both of your Homey's connected to the same wireless network? I know that especially wifi meshing solutions can cause problems with Homekit discovery.
Yes, both are on the same network. I have a wifi mesh system in my house, so maybe that’s the problem. I have, however, never had any problems discovering the other hubs and accessories in my house. I just tried the other HomeKit app available in the app store (Sprut has updated his to support Homey 2.0), and that worked immediately... But I would prefer to just use your app of course. :-)
Hmm strange, no idea why it isn't being discovered. I don't have two Homey's so can't test that specific setup, but changing the bridge identifier works.
