HBB won't initialize - help?

I have been running homebridge 2.0 and indigo-homebridge for a while (and loving it!) before the new HBB was created. I want to give HBB a whirl as it sounds exciting. I can't get it to initialize. Any help would be appreciated.

Code: Select all
   EPS - Homebridge Buddy Error    Error in plugin execution InitializeMain:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "plugin.py", line 55, in __init__

Try release ding the plugin and see if that fixes it. HBB is only looking for the port to be active on your already installed HB. If it still bombs please post your config.json file.

Re: HBB won't initialize - help?

Something doesn't seem right there, that config file does not appear to have been generated by HBB but is still the default config.json file. Can you try backing up the config.json file, then saving it through the HBB plugin and seeing if that changes anything? If not, post the new config here and I'll see if it's off.

Also, a new version that totally changes this is due to release very soon - probably the next day or two, so if you want to hold off until then that might work better for you since the new version of HBB will have HB-Indigo entirely integrated into it and won't be as persnickety (hopefully).

Solved it!!! I installed the new plugin, but still same situation. The only options I got under the plugin were Disable, Reload & About... I looked through the logs and found 2 plugins that were interfering with it. iFindStuff & BetterEmail. I disabled them and HBB worked!

That's odd, I'll have to download those two and see what may be interfering, there shouldn't be anything.
