Homekit Module ... no response

[InstigatorX]

For life of me can't get HomeKit going. I'm trying to use an RTSP and make it available via HomeKit. I can pair successfully, but get NO RESPONSE afterwards. What logging do you recommend I turn on?

Here's my config...

homekit:
  test_ext:
    pin: 12345678
    name: Test
    pairings:
      - client_id=8BCFE8B6-D91C-4835-AFBA-DA9D8FC9B54B&client_public=0c7b64b4f2804c2143f88a19bce8ca64910b976e0dff908ff8751014aaa27b79&permissions=1
      - client_id=E5A9C9C0-D97D-4D1B-AD18-043892D62628&client_public=641c20d28164c20a30335ac93b37a65aeb8f7b0f29908d60d1ba9a1ba05cb750&permissions=1

streams:
    test:

    test_sub:

At what exact moment do you get NO RESPONSE? Maybe screenshot.

As soon as I add it to HOME app on iPhone.

How do you install/setup go2rtc? Does it have direct network access for all ports?

[InstigatorX]

Yessir. I've tried with docker as well as just running binary directly on Unbuntu. services: go2rtc: image: alexxit/go2rtc:master-hardware shm_size: '1024m' network_mode: host # important for WebRTC, HomeKit, UDP cameras privileged: true # only for FFmpeg hardware transcoding restart: unless-stopped # autorestart on fail or config change from WebUI environment: - TZ=America/New_York # timezone in logs devices: - /dev/dri:/dev/dri volumes: - "/etc/go2rtc:/config" # folder for go2rtc.yaml file (edit from WebUI)

Have you tried test_ext stream from WebUI or via RTSP? Is it works?

Yes, I have 14 cameras configured and working well with Frigate and VLC. I'm using standalone instance of go2rtc (not the one embedded in Frigate).

[AlexxIT]

Maybe there are some specific settings in your local network. Which block UDP traffic between the phone and go2rtc.

[InstigatorX]

I have Scrypted running and HomeKit works fine. Both servers are on same subnet. Also, I can discover camera fine and pair it. On Jul 8, 2025, at 12:11 AM, Alex X ***@***.***> wrote:AlexxIT left a comment (AlexxIT/go2rtc#1793) Maybe there are some specific settings in your local network.

I have no idea yet what else the problem might be.

Is there any sort of logging you could suggest I turn on to help diagnose better? I'm more than willing to help figure out if it's a bug.

[AlexxIT]

Yes. You can enable trace logs:
