Have the same problem
What is the path to milestone?
here is url to milestone
https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/libs-milestone/org/openhab/addons/bundles/org.openhab.io.homekit/3.1.0.M3/org.openhab.io.homekit-3.1.0.M3.jar
not sure what went wrong with snapshot especially as we have not new features in homekit addon
HomeKit keeps losing it’s connection to openHAB.
It will work for a few hours or even a few days. But then I get ‘No Response’ from every item and the only way to go is to remove the openHAB bridge from HomeKit and re-add it.
This takes ages to re-assign everything to the right room and tweak the names.
Is it possible to put more info into the HomeKit tags to give it a default room, name, and other HomeKit properties like the type of contact sensor for example.
Of course I would rather it just didn’t lose it’s connection in the first place.
correct, it is not normal that you lose connection. just to confirm, you are on the Milestone version, right?
in many case it is enough to restart the binding or openHAB, without re-pairing / removing the bridge.
unfortunately there is no way to configure room in openHAB. it is not openHAB limitations but Apple Homekit design limitation. there is no way to send room information from server to home app, this applies to all homekit devices.
Yes I am on Milestone 3.
I tried restarting “restart 292” from console,
Uninstall/re-install of binding,
Reboot Pi,
Reboot iOS devices.
Still ‘No Response’
ok. can you try to disable private wifi address on the wifi network you use.
see here
After doing this, the link hasn’t been re-established.
But as I switch between rooms in the Home app, each item displays ‘Updating…’ before it displays ‘No Response’, which didn’t happen before.
I have tried restarting Homekit Bundle from console, and rebooting Pi.
I haven’t removed and re-added the openHAB bridge to Homekit yet in case there are more suggestions before I go through the long process of readding everything.
I am also troubleshooting another problem that may have links to this issue?
TLDR - I can’t get the list of items from the iOS Shortcuts app
i know it is a pain, but probably you need to re-add your bridge again. hopefully last time. but maybe dont put all accessories to correct rooms, wait 1 day to see whether it works more stable.
the shortcut with openHAB app are not directly related to homekit home app. the only common part is the network, i.e. if there are issue with networks, firewalls, etc, this would affect both, openHAB app + shortcuts as well as home app
Running for 4 days now. Both at home and away from home.

what was the solution?
I think it was the final suggestion changing the private network setting of my iPhone (iOS 14).
I would like to write up everything that is spead out accross this post into one solution post, but don’t have the time right now.
