Unable to add accessory, EVE stuck saying 'Adding Accessory' #21

Shaun-Sheppard · 2016-09-11T19:12:59Z

I'm trying to setup a standalone accessory using the default MockSwitch accessory and the default MockAuthInfo class.

I open EVE on my iPhone, I'm able to see the accessory, select it, enter the access and then EVE gets stuck showing 'Adding Device'. It's as if the HAP server isn't letting EVE know that the process is complete.

Here's the console output from trying to add the accessory;

I've tried creating another Accessory on the server and exactly the same issue happens with this too.

I have had the same issue when adding accessories to a bridge. The bridge adds to my iPhone fine, but 9 times out of ten the individual accessories don't show on my phone.

Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like you need to implement the HomekitAuthInfo.hasUser method. I need to update the sample - it's required as of iOS9. See http://beowulfe.github.io/HAP-Java/apidocs/com/beowulfe/hap/HomekitAuthInfo.html#hasUser--

Shaun-Sheppard · 2016-09-11T19:37:28Z

Thanks for the response. In my own Auth file I do have a getUser method which uses a List of users persisted in a JSON file, and that doesn't seem to work either.

`public class MockAuthInfo implements HomekitAuthInfo {

Issues like this are usually attributable to something wrong in the mdns
record HomeKit uses to advertise itself. You might try firing up an mdns
browser and look at the data. You can post it here and I can take a look
too.

Here's a screenshot of what shows in an mdns browser, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, but I did notice that before trying to add the accessory the data looked like this...

After adding and getting stuck saying 'Adding accessory' it changed to this.

andylintner · 2016-09-12T07:30:57Z

That all looks perfect. Must be something in the http response instead. Try
turning the logging level up to TRACE - it will capture the http requests
and responses.

Sorry, I seem to be having issues changing the log level. I've added -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.defaultLogLevel=TRACE to the VM arguments but I don't see any additional information?

Shaun-Sheppard · 2016-09-12T09:35:56Z

I figured out how to change the log level to trace, I'm attaching the trace as a txt file as it's a little too long to paste in here I think.

trace.txt

Shaun-Sheppard · 2016-09-13T18:12:54Z

Is there anything else I can provide to help diagnose this issue?

mariusz2108 · 2016-11-10T13:19:04Z

I had similar issue on my iPhone with iOS 10.
When I deleted cache on iPhone (I used 3rd party app) everything worked fine.

comdata · 2017-01-08T18:33:02Z

Is there any new on this issue?

leonborko · 2017-05-16T10:05:51Z

Sample project is not working by me. It hangs by pairing. Can you prepare working sample or post link to working sample

bakkerv · 2017-05-20T08:05:33Z

I have the exact same issue with the pairing (iOS 10)

leonborko · 2017-05-21T09:25:16Z

I have solved problem with sample. My computer has multiple network interfaces and sample app get wrong ip address.
Just change
HomekitServer homekit = new HomekitServer(PORT);
to
HomekitServer homekit = new HomekitServer(NETWORK ADDRESS, PORT);

Network address in ip address of your computer
