I need help figuring out why I can’t re-add the Bond beta Bridge to Home
(I temp deleted it)
I click + Add Accessory, More Options, and it’s not listed there. I tried entering it by code as well, didn’t help.
The reason I deleted the Bond beta Bridge was because of the following.
I was messing around with the HomeBridge BOND plugin to add celling fans to homekit. I’ve had it installed for months but could only get 1 or 2 fans to show up out of 9.

(scroll back up a bit to see the many months long history)
As you can see I gave up on HomeBridge with the Bond plugin today, and installed HomeAssistant with Bond plugin. That did the trick, all my ceiling fans were added and respond perfectly in homekit.
I noticed Shades were supported in HomeAssitant Bond as well, so I gave it a shot. For some reason shades won’t open to 100%, only 92’ish%. Also some shades won’t open once closed. Because of this I decided to remove the Bond Beta bridge to see if that helped. (it didn’t) So I disabled all the shade devices in HomeAssitant and left the ceiling fans only.
The problem is now I can’t re-add the Bond beta Bridge in the homeapp. I even turned HomeAssitant Pi box off, that didn’t help either. I tried to toggle the make accessory discoverable by homekit in the Bond iOS app. That didn’t help. I tried power cycling the Bond Pro. That didn’t help either.
What do I do or reset next to get it to show up again? Any ideas?
