Unable to add "Unbridged Camera" in Home app #1516

Describe The Problem:

I'm trying to switch to the recommended "Unbridge Camera" mode for my cameras but when I try to add the Camera accessory in the Home app it says the accessory is not reachable.

Note that I am trying to do this in preparation for upgrading to the scoped version of the plugin

To Reproduce:

In the plugin's config:

  1. Click Unbridge Camera (Recommended) checkbox
  2. Save config
  3. Restart plugin's child bridge

In the Home app (once the child bridge has restarted):

  1. Select +
  2. Select Add Accessory
  3. Select More options...
  4. Click on Side Cam 8097 tile
  5. Popup appears saying: "Uncertified Accessory". Click on Add Anyway
  6. Enter Setup code from the log message (see below). After entering it is shown as 0319-9154
  7. Select Continue
  8. Message appears: "Accessory, This may take a few minutes. Connecting..."
  9. After a while another message appears: "Unable to Add Accessory. Accessory is not reachable. ! OK"

Logs:

Please add [Side Cam 8097] manually in Home app. Setup Code: 031-99-154
