Remote Control Stuck On Searching

[thenicholasdyer]

Hey love this plugin.

The remote control feature works for my iPhone.

I added my girlfriend to our homekit and when she goes to use the remote control it just stays stuck on "Searching"

She can still control the TV from inside the Home app but the remote feature inside control center doesn't work.

Any idea how to fix this?

Hmmm, not sure what could be the issue here. Maybe she is not in the same Wifi network?

I have the same problem here; the Control center remote control is stuck in "Searching" and when i click on "Choose TV" nothing appears. Here is the log from the remote service

@thenicholasdyer have you managed to fix your GF problem? i have tried everything including resetting my iPhone but nothing seems to work. Every other person in my household has the remote control working as intended.
