Issue

I'm currently setting up deconz with homebridge-hue. Running them on the same pi using docker.
Everything seems to work fine, but Homekit does not show my scenes.

Homebridge print them in the debug log like [12/23/2019, 2:39:06 PM] [Hue] Phoscon-GW: /groups/1/scenes/3: "Büro Minimal"
I do see some strange errors in the logs: [Config] [homebridge] Error: ETIMEDOUT

Config

I got a bit further.
I saw, that the scenes are available in the Eve app as something I can turn on (which triggers the scene) and turns back to off automatically.

After reading through #475 it seems like I need to use the eve app to create a homekit scene out of those toggles.

I'm still new to all those topics but I wonder if it might be possible to expose the deconz scenes as homekit scenes instead of those things that only eve understands 🤔

HomeKit rooms, groups, scenes, automations, and even user-defined names can only be maintained by HomeKit apps, using the HomeKit API. HomeKit accesories, which use the HAP protocol, cannot see, let alone change these.

Looks like the ETIMEDOUT errors are reported by homebridge-config-ui-x.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! That clears up a lot of my confusion.
