Node-red-contrib-homekit-bridged: Bridge cannot be added to more than one IOS device

[Delphius7]

First of all, thanks for this amazing project!!

Describe the bug
After adding the bridge to the Home app of one iPhone it disappears for other IOS devices. So other people in the same network cannot add the bridge and cannot control it. It is still possible to share the Home with others in the Home app but it seems it supports only one IOS device at a time. (or only one iCloud user??)
I tried to find out if this is a normal behavior and limitation by apple but didn't find anything.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Started a node-red docker container
2. added a random homekit node and bridge
3. add the bridge to one IOS device
4. try to add the device on any other IOS device

Expected behavior
The bridge shows up on all IOS devices in the same subnet and can be added.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Docker (official image)
• Node version: 1.2.0
• NodeRed version: 1.2.6
• NRCHKB Plugin Version: 1.2.0
• IOS version: 14.2

Hi, unfortunately it is intended Apple design.
To share device with other iPhones you need to be logged to the same iCloud account on all of them or invite another iCloud account to your Home in Home.app

Thanks for the answer and the very fast support.

Alternate option: add each iCloud account which needs access to a single “home”. This is how it’s designed to be shared.

Example: I have set up a house and shared with my wife’s iCloud account. We both have full access to all accessories.

Edit: and I see Shaquu already said this. Carry on!
