mDNS reconfiguration about esp-homekit

[Rjayone]

Hi @maximkulkin, there is any updates about mdns reconfig? I was faced with problem, when removed the accessory. Now the device announced with status sf=0

@Rjayone It usually works fine. Are you sure you did it the right way (e.g. actually being on the same network when removing accessory) ? If not, accessory won't know you have removed it.

I removed the house from Home at all. I'm not sure it was a correct way. Also, i'm not sure that i used latest lib
So, there is no any (easy) ways to reset the device when it was removed, not being in the same network?

Depends on which firmware you have used. Some firmwares support complete config reset when you long press a button. If you do not have that, an easy way is to erase and reupload firmware. Erasing flash will erase sector that holds HomeKit config. You could also do that by erasing just the region with config with following command esptool.py -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART -b 115200 erase_region 0x7a000 4096 (assuming /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART is your serial port, 0x7a000 is your HOMEKIT_SPI_FLASH_BASE_ADDR... Change those according to your setup)
