Hi i have service:

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/homekit2mqtt -p 51829 -v debug
StandardOutput=journal

You need to copy the /etc/systemd/system/homekit2mqtt.service file, paste the code and then type:
sudo systemctl deamon-reload
sudo systemctl enable homekit2mqtt
sudo systemctl start homekit2mqtt

from homekit2mqtt.

What is you OS ? Linux or Mac ?

from homekit2mqtt.

Should have mentioned. I run it on a RPI model 3, using Raspbian Stretch (full install, although I only use it via ssh).

You can try nohup

from homekit2mqtt.

I suggest either to use https://github.com/Unitech/pm2 (pm2 is quite convenient and easy to use, handles also the logfiles and restarts...) or to create a systemd service (see e.g. http://nodesource.com/blog/running-your-node-js-app-with-systemd-part-1/)

from homekit2mqtt.

You can run homekit2mqtt on startup using cron. Do -
crontab -e
@reboot homekit2mqtt [options]

Or
use rc-local [(https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/usage/rc-local.md)] to setup startup script.

Oke, few options here. Thanks for the responses. I'll close the Issue for now and will reopen if I get stuck. Cheers.
