While I haven't seen this specific issue, I have seen other HomeKit Bridge proxied devices in the Home app not receive updates. HomeKit (especially via HomeKit Bridge) seems to be very fragile. Try restarting HomeKit Bridge or reloading the plugin. Also, if you have multiple network interfaces active (e.g. wired ethernet and wi-fi) on the Mac running Indigo Server, HomeKit Bridge seems to get very confused and may not start properly. I often need to disable wi-fi while HK Bridge starts so it will load properly, then re-enable wi-fi after it's loaded.
Just to be clear, this isn't a criticism of the rather brilliant HomeKit Bridge plugin. Tapping into any Apple service without Apple's blessing like this, with HomeKit Bridge's level of success, takes a LOT of hard work.
