Newly published devices don't show up in HomeKit

I am running Indigo 2023.2 and HomeKitLink Siri 0.6.61. I just published several additional devices from the plugin however they don't show up in HomeKit. I did click the "Save Device" button as I added each (along with the checkbox at the top to publish to HomeKit). I then clicked Save at the bottom of the panel when I was done. All of the 3 new devices are listed when I select "Show Device Publications" for the HKLS plugin:

Any idea why they won't show up in HomeKit? When I look at the HKLS bridge device in the Home app / Home Settings, it only lists two accessories (which were the first two I had originally added when I set it up).

Hi

Check the logging option the menu item below the one you have post - “Show devices”, called Check Running / Not running if I remember the wording correctly..

Couple of broad options

1 - They haven’t published
2 - The have and just can’t find them

For 2. Would check the actual bridge device in Home app and click on accessories - should show other connected accessories to this bridge.
When added they default to the default room of the bridge when added, not where the other devices are. So certainly in large install very easy to loose them.

Will presume this isn’t the case, and 1 applies

Bit odd for 2 to be there and 3 to not be there, if connected, onsite (wifi) - unless you have a hub device can’t access offsite. But to test this could try controlling the 2 that show up - that may or may not fail indicating a bigger problem.

Lastly - could be an individual device issue - from selection of options or device type incorrectly selected not compatible. Would check all 3 devices carefully

When I checked this morning the devices had finally showed up in HomeKit. I don't know how long it took but at least they're there now.
