HomeKit/Unifi Doorbell Issue: Can't select HomeKit for G4 Doorbell Pro when set as "Doorbell"

[alexiscordova]

I'm having a strange issue where my previously-working G4 Doorbell Pro no longer can register as a doorbell (so my HomePods can play the chime) in HomeKit; when set as "Camera", the camera functionality works but there are no options for doorbell chimes, naturally. While I have updated to the new iOS 16.1 (?) HomeKit architecture, that updated occurred a while ago and this issue only happened after I restarted my UDMP the other day.

When G4 Doorbell Pro main camera is set as "Camera"

When selecting the camera in the Unifi plugin, I see these options:

I'm able to select HomeKit and see pairing information, settings, etc. "HomeKit" is selected, and the camera feed appears in the HomeKit app.

All doorbell features, specifically the "Chime on HomePod" feature, are gone.

When G4 Doorbell Pro main camera is set as "Doorbell"

When I switch the Doorbell Pro to "camera", I receive this notification.

After restarting the plugin, the Doorbell disappears from HomeKit

and the feed stops, naturally.

Any thoughts here? Am I missing something, or did something change?

Turns out a regression was added sometime after Unifi Protect Plugin version 0.0.133. The following steps worked for me:

• Downgrade Unifi Protect Plugin to 0.0.133
• Restart Scrypted
• Remove the doorbell from HomeKit
• Re-pair the doorbell in HomeKit

I now have the functionality to set doorbell chimes again. cc @koush

@alexiscordova How can I downgrade I don't see that version available now in the plugin list..?

[alexiscordova]

The latest versions should fix this issue. I'm on the latest and the doorbell chimes through my HomePods

Yes I'm on latest 00.146 * 1.2.4 Homekit but they all stopped working recently.. tried all sorts to resolve it

I am having this issue on 2 separate sites that both have the same setup with Scrypted and G4 Pro. Neither site actually functions correctly as far as I can tell. Ringing the doorbell no longer sends any Doorbell notification to HomeKit, and the camera does not function as a Doorbell. Have tried removing, re-adding, etc. Have not tried downgrading the Unifi protect plugin as stated, because that solution is so old.
