HomeKit says homebridge UI QR code is incorrect
### Current Situation

To begin with I am not very technical, but setup homebridge a couple of years ago using instructions on this site.  Everything was working well until a few days ago when I noticed some of the devices weren’t responding in Home app.  I tried removing and reinstalling the plug-ins but nothing worked.  Also tried the various restart options in homebridge config menu.  Finally, I completely removed and rebuilt homebridge.  And deleted the bridge form HomeKit.  Once I did that I installed the plugins and all the accessories appear in the UI, but when I go to add homebridge to the Home app and scan the code I get a message that the code is incorrect.  I’ve tried using the phone’s camera to scan the QR code and also have entered the code manually.

when I do go to enter the code manually, the Home App lists the homebridge hub as an accessory it “knows” is there and asks but when I select it and enter the code manually, I get the same error.

incidentally, I tried the same on my iPad and get the same error.  I’ve also tried restarting and rebuilding the service - no luck.  And, I’ve tried restoring back to a version before all of this started and while the restore works, I still can’t add homebridge to HomeKit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as right now all looks fine on the homebridge server but I can’t connect it to the Home App.

thanks
