homebridge: username "like a MAC address" error, solution on readme doesn't work.

Hey All,

Trying to set this up for the first time and am running into a problem. I’ve tried the solution listed in the readme but still nothing.

iOS device has gotten your Homebridge username (looks like a MAC address) “stuck” somehow, where it’s in the database but inactive. Fix: change your username in the “bridge” section of config.json to be some new value.

I’ve tried changing the username in the config.json file but still nothing.

I also tried searching previous topics but nothing so far. Anyone have any advice?
