SOLVED - seem my last post below…
Have used built in iHost Matter Bridge to integrate Sonoff devices to Apple Home. I recently renamed my Apple Home which caused some problems. I removed the existing iHost Matter Bridges named “Apple Home” and “Apple Keychain” from iHost and the bridge in Apple Home. Then I tried to pair the iHost Matter Bridge again in Apple Home. After scanning QR code, Apple Home app says “Additional Setup Required”, I select OK. Apple Home tries “Connecting…” for a few minutes and then errors “Accessory Not Found” - “You may need to restart your accessory before you can add it to your home.” I’ve power cycled iHost. I NEED HELP
Hello!
On your iPhone did you try also remove from the matter accessories (Settings - General - Matter Accessories)?

Good suggestion - I didn’t know there were Matter devices enumerated in that section of Apple Settings. I removed two devices that seemed to be old and not associated with any device. Unfortunately, it didn’t solve my problem. I did not mention in my original post that I have luligu/matterbridge docker installed on iHost. There had been no issues having it run along with the iHost Matter Bridge function. I recently updated Matterbridge which oddly changed the commissioning port from my setting of 5541 to the default of 5540 which must conflict with the built in iHost commisioning port. My problem is solved.
