Activation and Publishing of Custom Bridges Not Working After Reinstalling on CCU3

[AlexF090]

Description:
I had previously installed and successfully used HAP (HomeMatic Access Point) on my CCU3. However, after reinstalling HAP, I am encountering an issue: activating custom bridges is no longer possible.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Reinstall HAP on the CCU3.
2. Attempt to activate custom bridges, following the initial suggestion to create a bridge for each room.
3. Create bridges for individual rooms, which initially appears to be successful.
4. Attempt to "publish" the created bridges to make them visible and usable.

Expected Behavior:
The created bridges should be displayed as "published" after attempting to do so, and adding devices to these bridges should be permanently saved.

Actual Behavior:
After attempting to publish the bridges, they are not displayed as "published". Likewise, adding devices to the bridges is not saved.

Additional Information:

• The initial installation and use of HAP were without issues.
• The problem occurred after reinstalling HAP.

I request assistance to resolve this issue and restore full functionality to the bridges.

It doesn't work. The components on the CCU3 are not compatible with this plugin. Or… This plugin is – sadly – no longer maintained and therefore not updated to work with newer firmware versions of the CCU3. It's a node issue.

I stumbled across the same issues last year, found out that this project is dead (the original Hombridge-Homematic is, too) and reverted everything back to Homebridge-Homematic which is at least still working.

Don't expect it to get fixed in a foreseeable future. Sorry.

Thank you for your feedback.

I share your disappointment regarding the lack of maintenance for these HomeKit integrations, including those by eq3. After facing these challenges for a while and experimenting extensively, I've transitioned to Home Assistant (HA), which is very well-maintained. I discovered the integration available on HACS at this GitHub link. Currently, HA serves as my smart home hub, and I control it via HomeKit, though all automations are managed directly in HA.

By the way, I now also use RaspberryMatic 😉

I'm not disappointed :-) This is a free project thkl created in his spare time, there's no expectation at all – and nobody can expect anything. It would have been nice to archive the projects to show that there's no more development going on. But sometimes life changes the rules and you have other stuff to deal with and projects loose importance. Not saying that is the case here, but it's always a good advice to never expect any "some dude built something"-projects to keep any momentum, expect the opposite: the project becoming abandoned at any time.
