HomeKit Bridge not working Post Update

Hi all, just checking in to see if anyone else has had no response from their HomePods and Indigo devices connected via HomeKit Bridge plugin. The Home app says no response on any of the devices from Indigo. I realize it is no longer supported but it is very intuitive and worked mostly well up until 2022.2.0. I've unplugged all of the HomePods and AppleTV, rebooted the Indigo Mac, etc, but she's not coming back.

Edit: One thing to note is that this time around I moved the database to the new default location under /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation from my home documents folder. I wonder if that has something to do with it? The plugin and associated files seem to be in the default location.

Lastly, is IndigoPluginHost3.app a valid plugin for Indigo? I thought I had it blocked in the firewall as it seemed related to another HomeKit plugin I decided not to use as the old one.worked, but now it seems I can't connect to Indigo touch without it being allowed.

Thanks!

Started plugin "HomeKit Bridge 1.0.2"

IPH3 is the host app for all the Python 3 plugins. You need it.

Re: HomeKit Bridge not working Post Update

Nothing we did in 2022.2 should effect that plugin since we are still allowing old plugins to run (the IndigoPluginHost.app is required for old plugins, the IndigoPluginHost3.app is required for new/updated plugins and is required for Indigo to function correctly). The next release (2023.1) will remove support for old plugins that haven't been updated, so at that point you'll need to switch to the HomeKitLink Siri plugin which is (by all accounts) significantly better than the old HKB plugin.

Sigh. Ok, thanks guys, I appreciate the info. I’ll see about making the switch.
