homebridge-samsung-tizen: Can't add TV to HomeKit

I’ve tried everything mentioned in all other issues including adding the uuid in config.json and removing accessories/samsung-tizen.json per #123 and I’m still seeing the “Couldn’t add” message.

I was first trying on iOS 13.1 beta 4 and then I updated to official 13.1 and that didn’t help. I enabled Homebridge debug logs, but there was nothing besides the standard “Please add [TV name] manually in Home app. Setup Code: 031-45-154”

Any ideas on what I can try next? I would appreciate the help!

Unfortunately the port seems to change every time homebridge is restarted so it’s not necessarily a permanent solution. Not sure if that’s anything you can control @tavicu or if I should log it for homebridge

Homebridge supports setting a range of ports to use like this:

{
    "bridge": {
        "name": "Main Bridge",
        "username": "",
        "port": 51500,
        "pin": ""
    },
    "ports": {
        "start": 51510,
        "end": 51519
    }
}

After that you can add a rule in your firewall to allow that range 😃

I don’t have a problem. Everything is added from the first time. I deleted homebridge and tv and added them again. 8D84C655-720D-41FD-BB00-62DD5BCC058A

I’ve still not been able to get it to work on 13.1.2 with all listed methods including that from your comment link.
