More than one Device, fails to find second

[iandl2020]

I have an ESP32 set up and working with HAP-ESPHome, I have now built a second identical one but it is not found by the Apple Home App. It boots fine and the logs all all ok. I have tried different serial numbers and ID's but no luck. It does not even find the Bridge device for which I have specified config.

Here is the config

yeah there's probably a conflict somewhere and it takes a while for the mDNS broadcast to be seen by clients, mDNS is annoying sometimes.

Should be fine as long as you use a unique hostname(which looks like it probably is) and bridge name. If you haven't already, i suggest you to try re-enabling the wifi on the phone so it can clear any cache and then look again for the device.

Also, try using the latest esp-idf version

  framework:
    type: esp-idf
    version: '5.5.0'
    platform_version: '55.03.30-2'

I also pushed some changes so make sure to do a clean build.

thanks. I'm away from home at the moment, so will give it try easy next week. If that solves it I'll let you know. Awesome work and thank you.

I've had a go as suggested but still no luck. When I "more options" in the Home app I see this in the ESP32 logs:

17:44:13][D][esp-idf:000][wifi]: I (19300) wifi: [17:44:13][D][esp-idf:000][wifi]: [ADDBA]RX DELBA, reason:39, delete tid:0, initiator:0(recipient) [17:44:13][D][esp-idf:000][wifi]: [17:44:28][D][esp-idf:000][wifi]: I (34338) wifi: [17:44:28][D][esp-idf:000][wifi]: [ADDBA]RX DELBA, reason:39, delete tid:0, initiator:0(recipient) [17:44:28][D][esp-idf:000][wifi]:

Not sure if that helps. I'll try and MQTT version next and see if that works and report back.

[iandl2020]

Flashed the MQTT version and the HK device was found straight away. Must be something in the config / fixed ID somewhere??

Hi!

sorry for the delay, i have now made some changes that hopefully fixes this. if you can, try it out and let me know.

thanks
