FAQ
Q: I am getting the following error when I am trying to add a Kodi device: Error: unexpected server response (200)
A: Make sure you have configured your HTTP port differently than your TCP port. Homey uses TCP (default port 9090) to connect to Kodi. Homey can’t connect if you configure the HTTP port to be the same as the TCP port. This might be a bit confusing because only the HTTP port is configurable through the user interface. I’d recommend leaving the HTTP port to the default value of 8080. Then, when trying to connect from Homey, use 9090 as a port number.
Known issues
- Automatic pairing is not supported on Kodi on Android. This is an issue with zeroconf on Kodi on Android. In order to add a Kodi on Android device, use the ‘Kodi manual’ option.
