| HomeKit Device | Not working Local | Broken in Home HA's HomeKit auto-add errors and leaves device owned, blocking pairing | Fails with internal error; soft reset hub to releaseSaved copyWow, this works great with my new (free) Powerlync hub. Thanks! One word of warning: if you have old Home Assistant installation, it detects the Powerlync plug as a Homekit device, but don't add it! It fails with an internal error, leaving no visible device, but the Powerlync device is then "owned" by that HA installation, which can't release it because it was never properly added. In that case you need to do a 10-sec soft reset on the Powerlync to force it to forget the Homekit ownership. No such issue on a newer up-to-date HA installation.

In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
