Suddenly stopped working

[kwe1009]

I had to get a new ESP-CAN Bus and I can't get it to connect to homekit. I can see the device on the network but when I scan the image nothing happens. I'm also using Home Assistant and tried adding it using their homekit integration and no luck there either. I can ping the device and it is on the same network as Home Assistant and the iPhone. I have reflashed it countless times and even redownloaded 1.0.0 and started from scratch.

Also, the OVERRIDE_MAC_ADDRESS doesn't work

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Have you tried rebooting your HomeKit hub? (I had an LED light I made using HomeSpan become unresponsive. I tried debugging it but took a break when nothing seemed to work. A couple of days later I noticed it was working again so it seemed like the issue may have been on the HomeKit side).

If you have a second iOS device that could be a HomeKit Hub you might try creating a second "Home", move an iOS device to it to be the hub for that "Home", then try adding the RV-Bridge to that home. I don't know what stale data there is that could cause a problem on the HomeKit side, but starting a whole new "Home" seems like it would start completely from scratch. Just a wild guess.

Thanks for the quick response. I tried all of that and no love. I'll give it a few more days to see if it works. Michael W.

Any ideas on why the change MAC address isn't working? Thanks. Michael W.

So the MAC address isn't actually changing? I thought you meant changing it wasn't helping...

Two thoughts. First, I found this when searching the web:

Attention: the bit 0 of the first byte of MAC address can not be 1. For example, the MAC address can set to be “1a:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX”, but can not be “15:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX”.

Second, looks like there's and alternate call for setting the MAC address:

WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
esp_wifi_set_mac(WIFI_IF_STA, New_MAC_Address);

(Haven't tried this one myself).
