There is a problem with the accessory itself which is causing intermittent network issues. I have UniFi gear myself, and weirdly for the VLAN HA is on IGMP snooping is enabled and i've not had any trouble. This confirms my theory that when you restart HA it notices a "new" device that is unpaired (C4:4F:33:8F:B5:6F), see's that actually it not new, it already has a pairing for it, and then believes the pairing to be invalid (as HomeKit spec forbids the state that your firmware has gotten itself into, your firmware is literally broadcasting "i am not paired to anything"). RTP packet size used for streaming video to HomeKit clients. If your device supports it you will be able to choose between types of event - like a short press or a long press.

The Home Assistant documentation states the following: "If the device is Wi-Fi based and has no physical controls or screen then you may need an Apple HomeKit device like an iPhone or iPad to get the accessory onto your Wi-Fi network. The entity_id of a binary_sensor entity to use as the doorbell sensor of the camera accessory to enable doorbell notifications. Areas can include on the actual accessory itself, on the packaging that it came in, manuals, pamphlets, inside an app, or even on an on-device screen. Yeah, it's going to be hard for me to help because i don't have the same environment as you - little things like python vs python3 are going to be common, unfortunately. and maybe this is important? AIUI, this would be in violation of the Apple HomeKit spec.

This is enabled by default on new installations via the default_config component. I don't have any VLANs set up that would prevent some devices from being able to contact others.

This method is also great for adding the accessory back to the Home app in the future, as you can simply scan the code in the picture instead of trying to get a perfect angle on that hard-to-reach device. Consider finding a replacement device that implements code randomization. Try resetting with a minimal configuration like: You might have paired the Home Assistant Bridge already.
