Yeah - if the discovery app finds zero _hap._tcp items and the plugin is running - it means that the discovery app can’t connect or find the homekit link siri bridge. Obviously if discovery app can’t find, nor can the Home app you are trying to connect to.

It’s this failure of network connection that is the problem

Firewall?
Block apps/Ports?
or general mDNS issues as per the troubleshooting thread if can’t find the _hap._tcp

I set the mDNS advanced option to IPV4 only, and added the IP addr, Reloaded , and it immediately showed up in the Discovery App under _hap_tcp

I was able to add it to the Apple home no problem .
Thanks GlennNZ, Pretty sure I can take it from here .

That’s interesting

New 0.6.16 version, currently in pre-release, probably would have fixed I would guess, as this manages ivp6 and IPv4 networks better, or at least this was the aim

https://github.com/Ghawken/HomeKitLink-Siri/releases

Also changes the mDNS options and automatically should be better. Again aim - hard to test all network issues.

Missed in your log that you are running other version.
