Devices not accessible in iOS10 Home App

[thymian]

Hey, I know its only 2 days out, but i want to inform you about an issue running pimatic-hap with iOS 10 dev beta 1 and the nativ "Home"-App.

Often when I open the Home app every switch and lamp says "no response" and cant be switched. I then have to go into the device details for some seconds and after that i can switch the device flawless.

For me (without any knowledge) it seems like the connection is shut down after some time without switching and only going into the device-prefs connects the devices again.

I recorded a video to show exactly what im talking about: https://youtu.be/u5vR5prcbYc

Strange thing: now 5 minutes after i recorded the video all devices are switchable again. This will change in some minutes (or even hours?)
Heres a screenshot of the app when devices are accessible:

pimatic-hap v. 0.6.3

Anything in the debug log?

sorry i‘ve to ask, but how can i turn hap debug on? pimatic-daemon.log only got
12:15:44.591 [pimatic-hap] Starting homekit bridge

[michbeck100]

set debug to true and logLevel to "debug" in settings tag (see https://pimatic.org/pages/config/)

Thanks for the reply. I uploaded my log because i cant see anything strange inside it

I don't see anything strange either. Because the problem just exists on iOS 10 i would like to defer this issue. If there is an issue, it is very likely that it has to do with the HomeKit library that is used in pimatic-hap (https://github.com/KhaosT/HAP-NodeJS). As of now there are no issues like yours there. But i would to wait a little if there will be a new release for iOS 10.

I got another question: Do you have the same behavior with one of the other homekit apps like Legato's Eve? If not, i would say its a problem of the new app.

[thymian]

i wouldn't say its a problem of the new app, because Eve cant reach devices, too.

⚠️💬 in english: "Device locked atm. Try again"

i reset everything now and added them again. lets see how long that works

[michbeck100]

Could you test if the issue is still there with the newest beta of iOS 10?

[thymian]

will try this in a couple of days

I installed the Golden Master of IOS 10 and right from the start i had no problems using the home app with pimatic-hap. I close this issue therefore.
