#Homekit integrations don't seem to work for me. Can someone help me figure out why?

And the HomeKit devices are not added to Apple Home yet?

Did you try running your container in host docker network?

That’s typically unsupported as the macvlan does not support mDNS reliably. That’s why the docker docs say that host networking is required (unless you don’t need to use mDNS, which is rare in home automation).

Experience and 3 decades of networking with certifications. Plus a solid understanding of bonjour underpinnings. But, you do you.

#

(Plus, the obvious “it’s not working”)

Sure... Dude... I've been working on this platform for 10 years and docker for over 20... I'm making it up. You know what? You are the very first person on this discord in YEARS that I am literally done with. Good luck with your setup.

#

Yup. Typo on docker. You're right.

#

BUT... is macvlan working for you with mDNS? No? Right. I'm making that up.

#

lol right.

#

Please go re-read #rules and the code of conduct @sonic quartz

If you can't be civil then please take a break from the keyboard

#

Ok, time out enforced

My man, the only person out of line here is you. Code tried to walk away more than once and you pinged and replied to him in rapid succession

#

You are in the wrong.

EVERYTHING IS WORKING

#

NOTES!

#
  1. Make sure that MDNS is enabled across your networks.
  2. For your virtual machine devices, do: echo 0 > /sys/class/net/vmbr0/bridge/multicast_snooping to enable multicast (and mdns) traversing into the VM guests.
  3. WPA3 might completely break MDNS, maybe make a separate wifi with just WPA2.
  4. Some devices (cough SONOS cough) have trash network implementations and only support 20MHZ 2.4ghz bands. (make your IOT wifi 20mhz instead of 40)
  5. Configure the network adapter default for mdns for integrations to the correct adapter.

SOLVED

so I did a bunch of stuff, it's hard to know which pieces are actually required.
