Accessory will not add to HomeKit on iOS 18.2

[ThomasKWood]

I see this issue has been made multiple times now but they have all gone stale. I'm hoping that opening a new one will get this properly addressed.

I've followed the Wiki instructions on adding the Denon Receiver to HomeKit and I have had success in the past before updating to iOS 18.x.

However, now that I am on 18.2 the functionality of adding the receiver manually by selecting it from the More options list seems to no longer work.

I've tried the following:
adding with bridge mode off, using a config that I know worked before, restarting the homebridge host, and restarting the Receiver.

Try troubleshooting section in wiki

[ThomasKWood]

Yep I did the config UI method, restarted, and then reinstalled. Same issue persists

[grzegorz914]

May be try to change device name in config, as you see in the log all is published correct.

[ThomasKWood]

I tried naming the accessory Denon and Denon S720W in the config with no luck. I agree, everything looks to be working on the Homebridge side but it will not add to HomeKit

[grzegorz914]

Also try to reboot your network router, switch, wlan, etc.

[ThomasKWood]

Other plugins are communicating and adding to HomeKit just fine so I don't see how restarting the network infrastructure will fix it.

[grzegorz914]

Very strange, just removed device on my side and add it again without any problem.

[ThomasKWood]

Do you have Advanced Data Protection or Private Relay On? I am wondering if those may be interfering.
