HomeKit Bridge Not M1 Compatible?

[ryandenver]

Has anyone been able to get HomeKit Bridge to run successfully on an M1 mac? After I upgraded to a new M1 mini last week, the plug-in won't start the servers and is giving an "bad CPU type" error in the debug log. The event log says the plug-in started, but the servers fail to start. I've tried rebuilding the folders.

dunno.. This won't help, but I'm on a M1 iMac and its working fine.

Not what you want to hear, but HomeKit Bridge is working fine on my new M1 Mac mini running Big Sur 11.6.1.

You may not have Rosetta 2 installed. Try running this command:

Code: Select all

softwareupdate --install-rosetta

Thanks webdeck. I ended up doing that last night myself as the install hadn't been triggered by any other apps yet and it worked. For anyone else facing this.

1) Install Rosetta 2
2) Restart the plug in

If the server will start but the Home app won't update the devices, you'll need to reset the HB User for each server. (Probably only an issue if you migrate between machines)

1) Stop the server
2) Go to the Server and open "Edit Device Settings"
3)Select "Server Parameters (Advanced)" from the dialogue drop down
4) Make sure the HB User matches the MAC address of the computer
5) Save the changes
6) Disable and Restart the plugin
7) Make sure the server starts

(Thanks Wilkner for posting his experience and the steps above regarding the MAC change on another topic/thread)
