Unknown node homekit-service

[jimholmesNZ]

Hi, I've installed node-red-contrib-homekit-bridged onto Node-Red version 1.3.5 running on a Raspberry Pi, using palette install in the Node-Red editor. Seemed to install correctly, and appears in the manage palette section with 4 nodes. However when I import the demo 10 example into a flow I get an error where the homekit-service is flagged as an unknown node.

Have I missed something?

Cheers,

Jim

Hello, can you provide me full log?

[jimholmesNZ]

My Node-Red instance is running in docker, I'm not sure how to generate the debug logs from docker.

I have restarted Node-Red several times and uninstalled and reinstalled the node-red-contrib-homekit-bridged node. I'm no longer getting the unknown node error. I can add in an example and deploy it with no errors but when I open the Home app I cannot add the accessory. It is never shown in the found accessories on my iphone.

I have installed node-red-contrib-homekit-bridged on a different machine and it is working fine there.

Thanks for your help. Jim

Hi, it is very difficult to answer what went wrong.
It may be anything from the hardware to the software, including corrupted installation.
