"Could not register accessory, skipping…"

[christophejaubert]

Hi there,
I have the same behaviour described here, systematically:
[4/23/2021, 9:50:45 PM] [Elgato Key Lights] Discovered accessory on network: Elgato Key Light Air 2B20
[4/23/2021, 9:50:45 PM] [Elgato Key Lights] Discovered accessory on network: Elgato Key Light Air 2997
[4/23/2021, 9:50:45 PM] [Elgato Key Lights] Could not register accessory, skipping Elgato Key Light Air 2B20
[4/23/2021, 9:50:45 PM] [Elgato Key Lights] Could not register accessory, skipping Elgato Key Light Air 2997

I tried to switch off and on the Key Lights, then restarting Homebridge, or uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, ticking "Use IP address instead of hostname" in the Advanced setting, or creating a virtual dedicated bridge with this plugin: nothing works. But the official Elgato app works like a charm.

Any help there?

Mhh, strange.

It would be good to know if the lights are reachable from the device homebridge is running on.

Can you check if you can access http://ip-address-of-light:9123 or http://elgato-key-light-air-2b20.local:9123 from that device?

The Key Lights Web interfaces seem to be reacheable. I connected with lynx. Here is the output:

Key Light Setup

Specify a Wi-Fi network for Elgato Key Light to join. Use the Elgato
Control Center app on your Mac or PC to control the light.

Yeah, that seems to be working.

Well, I'm a bit at a loss. You could try clearing the cached accessories in homebridge as a last shot.

Sorry for the delay, I was away for a long week-end. Everything works fine, now. Best,

Awesome, happy to hear it's working now!

I am having this same issue, too. I've power-cycled the light and restarted HomeBridge a few times and I always get the same error:

[7/2/2023, 3:13:36 PM] Homebridge v1.6.1 (HAP v0.11.1) (Homebridge E78A) is running on port 51360.

[7/2/2023, 3:13:36 PM] [Elgato Key Lights] Could not register accessory, skipping Elgato Key Light Air 2364

I can connect to it from the Elgato Control Center iOS app just fine, I can also reach it directly via http.

Did you already try ticking the "Use IP address instead of hostname" option in the advanced settings?
