You can verify this by viewing your homebridge log file through the plugin menu:
And you will typically see a segment similar to the following in your log file that is output to your Indigo Event Window (notice where it says ACCESS DENIED):
- Code: Select all
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">

<title>Indigo Home Control Server</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Step 3: Save Your New Configuration and Reload Your Server
When you have finished, make sure you save and reload your Homebridge Buddy server for the changes to take effect:
Step 4: Check HomeKit App
Finally, if you have tried to add the server to HomeKit you MAY have to remove the server and re-discover it if still doesn't work - HomeKit can be persnickety sometimes.
