I’ve been diving into integrating my AVM FRITZ!DECT 200 devices with HomeKit using openHAB, and while the setup has been mostly smooth, I’ve hit a snag during the pairing process. Let me walk you through what I’ve done so far and where I’m stuck.
First, I installed openHAB on a Raspberry Pi, configured the AVM FRITZ!Box Binding, and successfully set up my devices. The openHAB iOS app works like a charm, allowing me to toggle bulbs and monitor temperatures. The issue arises when I attempt to pair these devices with HomeKit.
Here’s what happens:
- I can detect my openHAB instance in the Home app.
- Entering the PIN starts the pairing process.
- After a while, the pairing fails.
I’ve reviewed the logs, but they don’t provide a clear error message. The logs show that the accessories are being added and that the homekit listener is bound, but there’s no indication of what goes wrong during pairing. I’ve also checked the Fritz!Box settings and ensured that there are no firewall issues, as my device is connected via LAN.
I came across a similar issue in the community, but the solution there involved a firewall problem, which I don’t think applies here since I can initiate the pairing process. I’m wondering if there’s something specific about my setup that’s causing the issue, or if there’s a deeper configuration step I’m missing.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? I’m curious if there are any troubleshooting steps or configuration adjustments that could resolve this. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other navigate these integration challenges. Happy tinkering!
