## Safe Mode
The `safe_mode` option should only be used (and only works) if you encounter issues during the pairing. ([Pairing hangs - zeroconf error](#pairing-hangs---zeroconf-error)).
To use `safe_mode`, add the option to your `homekit` configuration:
```yaml
homekit:
safe_mode: true
```
Restart your Home Assistant instance. If you don't see a `pincode`, follow the [guide](#deleting-the-homekitstate-file) here. Now you should be able to pair normally.

To avoid any errors, after you have successfully paired your Home Assistant Bridge, remove the `safe_mode` option from your configuration and restart Home Assistant.

Pairing eventually fails, you might see and an error message `NonUniqueNameException`. Add the `safe_mode` option to your configuration, see [safe_mode](#safe-mode).
If [safe_mode](#safe-mode) is not successful, you likely need to enable `default_interface: true` in the `zeroconf` integration configuration and set a unique name such as `name: MyHASS42`.

If you had previously paired (even unsuccessfully), you may need to delete your `.homekit.state` file in order to able to successfully pair again. See [Errors during pairing](#errors-during-pairing).
