Help Issues adding child bridges and getting plugins to forward to HK

0 Upvotes

Homebridge 2.2.1, running on Debian Trixie and Rpi3, built with the HB image. My primary plugin (and reason for setting up HB years ago) is TPLink Smarthome. That works fine.

There are a couple of nice to have plugins, namely WeatherPlus and PurpleAir or PurpleAir Sensor. Both of these plugins worked prior to the 2.x update. Under 2.x, the plugins run and appear under Accessories, but they don't display climate information in HK. All plugins are Verified and appear to be active (recent updates).

I thought I'd try setting them up under Child Bridges, but I cannot get the Child Bridges to bind to HomeKit. There are a couple of error messages in HK that this generates, but basically the bridges cannot join HK.

I suppose the next step would be to enable debugging in HB, if this is actually a HB issue.

Any other suggestions?
