Hi,
Same problem for me.
The Netatmo / Legrand Gateway loose the HomeKit connection all the time.
But I have 2 Netatmo Relay (for heating) also connected by HomeKit working perfectly... Strange

Also fails with brilliant panels. Worked well prior to update.

Everyone replying me too - please attach logs.

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/troubleshooting/#enabling-debug-logging

@21ch182 your logs are full of errors from all sorts of things. Is that normal for you? Are expecting eg your vacuum to not be working? I can see homekit trying to connect to your device but the connection is getting dropped somewhere outside of our control (possibly by the device). There have been some changes in how retrying works, but the failure mode there would be that retrying stopped and it hasn't. Does restarting your Ha machine help? Does restarting the device itself help? Even if only for a while.

Has anyone tried downgrading?

Has anyone else tried other diagnostics like restarting things etc.

I have the same problem.

That's interesting. Somehow the connector is being cancelled while its connecting for the first time.

Do you have anything else in the log?

I have the same issue, I roolback in 2025.3.x
And so I don't have logs.

Tomorrow I do the update and I send after that the logs.

[milandzuris]

Failed setup, will retry: Error while connecting to device ['192.168.0.***']:52432: [Errno 107] Socket not connected (ConnectionError)

On 2025.2.5 my HomeKit works !

Now I update to 2025.4.4 :

I have a error :
`Invalid config
The following integrations and platforms could not be set up:

shelly (Show logs)
bluetooth_adapters (Show logs)
homekit_controller (Show logs)
Please check your config and logs.

Il y a 10 minutes`

but in the log I have nothing :
Il n’y a aucun nouveau problème !

In device I see HomeKit (Not loaded) and I can not enable Debug to download diasgnotics !

If I try to add a entry I have this error : Error
Config flow could not be loaded: Failed dependencies bluetooth_adapters

I see Shelly error also, I delete (not needed) and I reboot HA but it's the same.

The part log before update :

But after update HomeKit not in the Json.

I hope it's help !
