Problems Since Homebridge 1.0.4

[baakoo]

Hi
Since HB1.0.4 shells does not work properly. Status in HomeKit are wrong. Automations do not run. Switch on/off sometimes does not work. Are this known problems? Can I support with logs?
Cheers

He guys,

i got the same issue like @baakoo.
Switch is going wrong. But in my case i got the issue After i Update to iOS Beta 13.5.3. Before that and with Homebridge 1.0.4 it’s worked.

I use iOS 13.4.1

Same Problems here with 13.4.1. It also does not work when controlling the switches via Homebridge Config UI X so I don’t suspect iOS to be the problem.

Just debugged this a little bit: Turning off works, but turning on not. It even does not generate an HTTP package (checked via tcpdump). I also downgraded to homebridge 1.0.3 which does not fix this, too.

Here’s everything working again: I somehow disabled Multicast on my switch so the Shellys were not able to report back their state.

How did you enable Multicast? I have the same issue and am a bit lost. Do you mean switch as of router or the shelly-switch or on raspberry-pi? How do you enable it?

Normally you don’t need to enable multicast explicitly. It’s more the way around you have to explicitly disable it which i did on my switch. The explicit setting depends on the switch you’re using.
