Hub Mesh works on all hubs but one

I have four hubs, Hub 1 is showing up in the General tab of the other three hubs.

I show devices from Hub 1 already linked in the Linked devices.

But when I share new devices on Hub 1 these devices do not appear under the available on Hub 1 section of any of the other three devices.

Have rebooted all hubs but can't figure out the new shared devices are not showing up?

Always useful to call out the platform version you are running...

Aside from that... Have you tried using the Sync Now option in the General tab of the Hub Mesh page? I expect we should not need to use this, but may be worth a try...

Thanks - all hubs are up to date - 2.3.6.146. This has been going on for some time now. Sync now doesn't change the situation.

Do you happen to have security enabled on the hub that is having the issue?

Thanks. I can confirm that security is not enabled on any of the hubs.

Hmm, that is odd.... The best I can suggest is to work through a repeatable process, which will most likely include:

  • Creating a virtual device, say a Virtual Switch
  • Sharing that on "Hub 1" on the Device Details page, then
  • Looking to try and find that device on a meshed hub

Any screenshots would also be useful.

Admittedly I am running 144, updating now, will report back on my experience.

EDIT - No issues for me. I know that doesn't help much....

Any differences in how they are connected on the LAN?

Found the issue! I have the Home Assistant Device Bridge app running on the Hub 1. At some point in the past I had shared this device and it has hundreds of children representing devices that I use from Home Assistant.

I never actually used this device on the other hubs as I centralize most of my rules on Hub 1.

So I was in the process of setting up a test device and sharing it and noticed this device. So on a hunch I unshared it thinking the number of devices was overwhelming the mesh - or timing out or similar.

And sure enough all of the devices shared on Hub 1 miraculously appeared in the other hubs.

Thanks to all for helping me resolve!
