I had HA running a while back and the Droid box I was using bricked, so I "upgraded" to an Intel-based one from Pulcro.

I decided to install from scratch and this has been a headache across the board. AppleTV (for HomeKit) won't connect - and I need that to connect my Ecobee as they stopped the API from working. But more importantly EISY won't load.

Any ideas or thoughts? EISY is working as usual. No errors showing up there.

Some ChatGPT searching points to a group/scene member not being in the right format but honestly I have zero clue how to look for that / audit it. Any guidance from you smart folks would be most appreciated!

It can be hard to get answers there but this more of a HA problem than an eisy problem. You'll need a solid/stable HA server to add Integrations like ISY and it doesn't sound like you're there.

For ecobee, the most direct connection is through the HA HomeKit Device integration which uses bon jour to talk to it directly making it a totally local, cloud free connection (as long as its on the same LAN segment).

Thanks Paul - I finally got the HomeKit to work (had to take the ecobee off the AppleTV hub first, doh!).

The HA server is pretty solid - working with my solar and other integrations, but this one is stumping me.

The previous box had it working perfectly, so will keep plugging away at it.
