core: Homekit not working on ios 12
Home Assistant release with the issue: 0.100.3
Last working Home Assistant release (if known): ~0.97 (before ios 13 release/upgrade)
Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.): Hass.io running on NUC ubuntu
Integration: Homekit
Description of problem: Homekit stopped working once I upgraded my iphone to ios 13, my other device (ipad) is ios 12.4.1 (can’t be upgraded to 13). At first it became some buggy when ios 13 started combining/grouping switches that probably wasn’t supported in ios 12. I removed all homekit related integration, deleted .homekit.storage, removed pairing from home app (automaticly removed from all devices), signed out icloud (also factory resetted ipad), restarted router, restarted hass (repeated several times). on ios 12 I can’t pair at all, it says Can’t add homeassistant bridge. on ios 13 it works as expected. once it added in ios 13 it synced via icloud and i can see the entities on ipad (ios 12) as well, but all of them with no response. Tried adding ip address and safe mode. Tried to get some answer in community forum: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/homekit-works-only-ios-13
Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):
ip_address: 10.0.1.201
safe_mode: true

can confirm finally all worked on 115.4, tested on ios12/13/14
I have the same problem, after updating HA I lost connectivity to HomeKit. I deleted the home in HomeKit and tried to pair with home assistant again. Homekit sees the homeassistant accessory right away, but after typing in the pin to pair them up, it just times out. I also tried typing in the wrong pin number on purpose, same error. Its like it is no long able to connect to home assistant.
That’s strange, mine is still working ok on both ios 13 and 12… (without universal media player)
