Oh geez, I didn't even think to look at pins. After taking those steps, I did some more troubleshooting. Here's my setup:

pfSense Router at 192.168.33.1 on LAN is my Internet gateway router
pfSense is providing DHCP and running avahi/mdns
TP-Link WiFi access point is at 192.168.33.20
Home Assistant runs in a docker, 192.168.33.43, inside an ESXi VM
Koogeek 01US Switch is at 192.168.33.49

HA server sees my iPad, phone and LG HVAC and integrates perfectly with those
iPad at 192.168.33.10 can pair with the Koogeek in Apple Home App
WiFi AP can see the Koogeek and iPad both on 2.4 GHz, good signal
HA sees the Koogeek plug when it is paired with the iPad home app
HA can connect to the switch as a HASS Bridge, but can't do anything with it
If I drop the Koogeek from the Home App, HA says it does not see any unpaired devices

netdisco sees the same thing as HA, it can't see the Koogeek switch when it is unpaired, but does see it when it is paired with the iPad Home app. AFAIK, it should be seen always?

The home-assistant.log shows 3 entries, one is a warning about the smarthinq sensor on my HVAC not being tested with Home Assistant and the other 2 entries are complaining that my phone didn't update a sensor, E.G.:

021-08-25 09:04:53 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mobile_app.webhook] Refusing to update moto g power non-registered sensor: 8708c34607b317ff182bdff6251ac9d921bf9f4e79d7547054a581ec8162ff9f_volume_call

I can add the Homekit integration (mind you, not the Homekit Controller integration) when the koogeek is paired with the iPad home app, I follow the prompts, accept the defaults and I get a HomeKit Bridge device, HASS Bridge:21064. This adds 2 notifications to HA with QR codes and pairing codes, one for my Samsung TV (192.168.33.44) and one for the koogeek.

After that, HA does allow me to add a HomeKit Controller integration, and it sees two devices, my TV and the Koogeek HASS Bridge 619337._hap._tcp.local. So I select the latter and it prompts me for a pairing code. The pairing code from the back of the Koogeek does not work, whether I add dashes or not, but if I add the pairing code that HA gives in the notifications that were generated by adding the HomeKit integration, those "work", but I believe this is just HA pairing with itself??

#

To add confusion, after I enter the pairing code, it finds my LG AC and the HASS Bridge. I'm not sure how the HVAC got into the equation, but it is on the network at 192.168.33.14.

Forgot to add, no new entries in the log file.
