Cannot find accessory on either mac server or raspberry pi

[tvillingett]

I have installed the latest version and tried it on both a mac and a raspberry pi, but neither shows up when trying to pair with the phone.

I'm my latest try, I started it with this command:

sudo homekit2mqtt -m /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homekit2mqtt/opt/mqtt-smarthome/hekit2mqtt.json -u 'mqtt://thethingbox.local' -a '22:2E:E3:DE:F8'

(I could not find where the default location of the json file should be, so I put it there)

I starts ok, but cannot find it from the iphone.

I fear the reason could be that I changed the way Accessory UUIDs are generated, I think iOS doesn't like it when known devices change their properties.

I would suggest to try:

• stop homekit2mqtt
• leave all HomeKit Apps on iOS
• clear HomeKit data on iOS
• delete the "persist" folder of HAP-NodeJS (rm -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homekit2mqtt/node_modules/hap-nodejs/node_modules/node-persist/storage/persist)
• restart homekit2mqtt

I could not get it to work, I will do some more tests on another machine.
