> [@pierre-gilles](#): > > Awesome! Did you test it at your place? Yes it works, but since I had to make a small change to the bridge construction and to all HomeKit devices it would be nice to have some additional feedback > [@pierre-gilles](#): > > If you ever need help on this point, always available to talk! What’s blocking? After switching to 1.x I can no longer initialize the HomeKit–Gladys connection. When the two are already linked it seems to work but the first connection does not occur correctly. I saw that there were changes to the mDNS library used by default but even when forcing the use of `bonjour` the error appears. I’ll let you know if I need help, I need to investigate a bit more, but it might take time — I’ll probably make the version change in a second PR. ---

This development made it into Gladys Assistant 4.47!

I just opened a PR updating the main dependency of this service `hap-nodejs`. We’ve moved to a stable version of the library, including major optimizations to prevent congestion on your local network. The Docker image `bertrandda/gladys:homekit` is up to date for those who want to test ---

Thanks for the PR @bertrandda, I noticed in my logs that I occasionally had messages coming from HomeKit saying there were slowdowns, so this will help a lot, I think! By the way, I often see this log: ```auto [Gladys E2CA@Bande LED chambre@Bande LED chambre@Color Temperature] characteristic was supplied illegal value: number 525 exceeded maximum of 500 ``` Do you think this update will fix the issue? Another question, did you see the CHANGELOG with the breaking changes since our version? ![Screenshot 2025-12-02 at 19.54.18](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/4/a/4a80f022c964817f143bb40ea41c40a38a578762.png) ---

We can check, but I don’t think that will fix this problem. It seems to be a normalization issue before sending the info to HomeKit.

> [@bertrandda](#): > > Could you tell me the model of the associated device? It’s a Livarno Lidl Zigbee LED strip ([Lidl HG06104A control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT](https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/HG06104A.html)) Strangely, indeed I see that on the Zigbee2mqtt side, the feature looks like this: ```auto "external_id": "zigbee2mqtt:bande_led_chambre:light:temperature:color_temp", "category": "light", "type": "temperature", "read_only": false, "keep_history": true, "has_feedback": true, "unit": null, "min": 150, "max": 500, "last_value": 524, ``` The value is outside the min/max! > [@bertrandda](#): > > Yes, I’ve checked everything, it’s all good Ok perfect, and did you test it on a real existing installation? That doesn’t break already-configured installations, the user won’t have to re-pair HomeKit with the QR Code? ---

> [@pierre-gilles](#): > > On the other hand it’s funny, indeed I see that on the Zigbee2MQTT side, the feature looks like this: In that case, I imagine the problem is either on the Zigbee2MQTT side or on the device side. > [@pierre-gilles](#): > > Ok perfect, and did you test it in real life on an existing installation? It doesn’t break already configured installations, the user won’t have to re-pair HomeKit with the QR Code? Yes, everything works correctly on my setup, but I’d welcome more feedback to be sure since it deeply affects the network side.
