A few initial things

I guess you are not looking for a wife .. bride => bridge ..
Could you please tag your post to appear under the “Addons” section?
Can you please confirm which of the two HomeKit addons you are referring to:

a) Homekit binding org.openhab.binding.homekit for importing HomeKit accessories into OH
b) Homekit integration org.openhab.io.homekit for exporting OH Items as HomeKit accessories

From your log, I guess it is the latter. ??

If so, then the error relates to the bouncy castle crypto library (see below). So I wonder if you are using the OH v5.2 Release Version or a daily Snapshot? Reason why I ask is that PR 5195 and PR 19818 changed the bouncy castle version in OH snapshot, but that was not changed in the release version.

17:19:20.249 [WARN ] [erver.impl.http.impl.AccessoryHandler] - Exception caught in web handler java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/bouncycastle/crypto/tls/TlsFatalAlert

EDIT I re-read your post and I see 5.2.0-SNAPSHOT (#5060) .. so indeed those PRs may be the issue. One hypothesis is that although OH core and OH addons updated the bouncycastle dependency to 1.83 it may be that the intervening external library io.github.hapjava.server relies on the earlier version. => @holgerf any thoughts?

EDIT2: @Jacek_Kaczmarczyk could you try reverting the OH v5.2 official release version and see if that fixes it?

holgerf · January 1, 2026, 7:43pm

@AndrewFG It seems it was a bit too optimistic to overwrite the bcprov jdk15on dependency with provided jdk18on recent version in io.homekit. It is years newer and has a different JDK requirement.

The hap library has an open PR:

github.com/hap-java/HAP-Java

Update to bouncy castle 1.8.2 Issue #192

# Pull Request Checklist Please confirm that you've done the following when o…pening a new pull request: - [X] For fixes and other improvements, please reference the GitHub issue that your change addresses. - [X] For fixes, optimizations and new features, please add an entry to the CHANGES.md file. - [X] Run mvn compile before committing, so that the auto-code formatter will format your changes consistently with the rest of the project.

Maybe @ccutrer can comment on this?
Shall we wait for this PR getting merged and a new version being released, or shall we to the old bcprov jdk15on version?
(btw: in the meantime bc 1.83 has been released, maybe the PR should be updated)

AndrewFG · January 2, 2026, 2:49pm

Perhaps OH core can provision v1.83 as standard and in general have all OH addons consume that standard version. And make a special exception to also provision v1.51 as a side-loaded jar specifically bundled in the org.openhab.io.homekit distribution? – (However I am not entirely sure if our system could actually resolve dual provisioned dependencies like that).

Jacek_Kaczmarczyk · January 2, 2026, 3:45pm

The same problem on

5.2.0~S5052-1 from stable release

reverting back to

5.1.0-1 is fixing the error

ccutrer · January 2, 2026, 7:19pm

I’ve got a fix working, but am having issues doing a new release of the HAP-Java library. In the meantime, I’ve compiled it for you at Release HomeKit 2026-01-02 v1 · ccutrer/openhab-addons · GitHub .

The easiest way to install it is to run bundle:update org.openhab.io.homekit https://github.com/ccutrer/openhab-addons/releases/download/homekit-20260102-1/org.openhab.io.homekit-5.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar from the Karaf console.

EDIT:

I just switched to publishing to GitHub Packages instead of Maven Central. We should be good-to-go with [homekit] Update HAP-Java by ccutrer · Pull Request #19954 · openhab/openhab-addons · GitHub.

holgerf · January 5, 2026, 11:06am

@Jacek_Kaczmarczyk It should be resolved in latest snapshot. Thanks for reporting the issue.
