Homebridge v2 Homekit Help

[eweber]

Hello all,

Sorry to post but I've spent HOURS trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy!

Running hubitat c7 with homebridge v2 plugin.

My problem is, I can't find a homekit code or any way to add this "hub" into the homekit app as a hub. Not code to add, no nothing that I can find. What on earth am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

You probably mean this homebridge integration?

[RELEASE] Homebridge Hubitat v2.0

[RELEASE] Homebridge Hubitat v2.0 I'm happy to release the new version of my homebridge-hubitat-tonesto7 Upgrade Notice: Due to the changes in the plugin API (switching from legacy to dynamic) you can not directly update the plugin, you will need to add as a new accessory and setup your devices/automations/scenes again. On a positive note, you can use the same Hubitat app instance as long as you update it to the latest code. Changes Plugin [NEW] Completely rewrote the entire plugin from…

There are a couple of them. Assuming you mean this one, have you followed the instructions in the dev’s GitHub repo? There is a link in the first post of the thread.

Yes, that's the one and I've been looking at the instructions for hours. How can I add the homebridge hub to the home app (as a hub).

When you log in to your homebridge server there should be a QR code. Scan it with your camera.

On your Home App on an iPad or iPhone - click on the "+" and go to "add accessory" then scan the barcode @sidjohn1 mentioned.

Note: You cannot do this on a macbook pro or other mac computers as I found out.. just devices running IOS.

edit: it will start to walk you through adding / configuring all the devices you have exposed in HomeBridge which is kind of a pain.

Thanks guys, I got it. Stupidly I didn't have a homebridge going. I now speaks with hoobs and works fine.

I’m having the same issue as eweber. I don’t know how to get homebridge running to get the QR code. Clearly I am missing a step. How do I get the homebridge server running to get to the webpage with the QR code. It is not obvious to me!
