Description of problem:
I reset my Xiaomi aqara hub and it didn't show up as a card on the web UI.
I started the pairing process from an iPhone and at this point the wifi connexion on the hub started to work. The device appeared on the web ui, but it was mentioned as "already paired".
So I removed from the iPhone the pairing.
From the web UI Home assistant allows me to enter a HomeKit PIN.
I tried with the 8 digits on the sticker and it didn't work, I tried with the qr code (13 digits) and it didn't work. Error message from the web ui:
Incorrect HomeKit code for Aqara Hub-3171. Please check it and try again.

I tried running directly in a CLI the following:
Discover the homekit device (aqara is showing up)

/config/.homekit # python3 -m homekit.discover
Name: Aqara Hub-3171._hap._tcp.local.
Url: http_impl://192.168.1.247:4567

Protocol Version (pv): 1.1
State Number (s#): 1

Pairing using python script (and pin provided, not the one below)
/config/.homekit # python -m homekit.pair -d 02:7A:BE:D1:XX:XX -f pairing.json -a aqara -p 12345678 --log debug

Looks like you haven't put the dashes in the pin code? Ah, if i remember correctly the Xiaomi gear doesn't print the code on the sticker properly - they leave out the dashes, but these are actually part of the crypto so if you leave them out it won't work.

Your pairing code needs to be formatted like this: 031-45-154
