HomeKit - How to update accessory isReachable value, when i come back from background to foreground?
Situation: i am developing an app, which manages HomeKit accessories. For example i do that:
- Accessory is power on, and i see it via app. Also in foreground mode
HMAccessoryDelegatemethod:
func accessoryDidUpdateReachability(HMAccessory)
works fine and i can handle status of my accessory.
I switch app to background mode.
I turn off accessory (i mean completely power off) so it must be unreachable.
I switch app to foreground mode, but accessory is still reachable.
methodfunc accessoryDidUpdateReachability(HMAccessory)— not called.
valueaccessory.isReachablenot updated.
Example of code when i go to foreground:
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
if let home = HomeStore.sharedStore.home {
for accessory in home.accessories {
print(accessory.isReachable) //not updated
for service in accessory.services {
for characteristic in service.characteristics {
characteristic.readValue { (error) in //updated
if error == nil {
let notification = Notification(name: Notification.Name(rawValue: "UpdatedCharacteristic"))
NotificationCenter.default.post(notification)
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Question: how to update isReachable values of accessories, when i come back from background mode to foreground?

You can create a function in the ViewController that implements HMHomeManagerDelegate:
func startHomeManager() {
manager = HMHomeManager()
manager.delegate = self
// do something here
}
and add a call to startHomeManager() to your viewDidLoad(). That will refresh your HMHome object. Then call this func in your AppDelegate:
func applicationWillEnterForeground(_ application: UIApplication) {
viewController.startHomeManager()
viewController.didRestartHomeManager()
}
A bonus is that you can call startHomeManager() for pull to refresh, etc.
