Switching to new plugin issues

Excellent I'll have a crack at getting that working after I've reconfigured the indigo devices accordingly

"Also, changes you make in the config will stick"

Just did a wee test with this in a config.json file in ~/home/.homebridge which has a homebridge-envisalink configured on it. If i then go into Indigo and add a camera and save the config it overwrites the envisalink settings. Is this currently intended?

It should only be replacing the Camera-FFMPEG settings and leaving the other platforms and accessories alone. I did quit a bit of testing on this, I'm a little surprised that it's wiping out your platform configuration when you save a camera.

Any logs you're aware of that may help pinpoint what's happening?

I'm going to do some testing with the homebridge-envisalink on the ~/.homebridge setup like you have, just so I can see apples to apples and reproduce the issue. I also use the Camera plugin so I'll let you know what I find. In the meantime just don't save your config via HBB and you should be OK, it won't overwrite it nearly as often now because nothing is tied to the custom server.

No worries, in all fairness it's not a huge issue.. I just copy the section first then paste it back in after. I only realised something was up cos I was trying to find a way to get the camera plugin to recognise securityspy feeds. Now that's all done I don't have much need to change it.. until your next update that is

Just another data point. I added some homebridge-envisalink platform config to ~/.homebridge/config.json, and then forced a reload of the custom homebridge server. It over-wrote my changes, and left me with only the camera configs. So I'm seeing the same behavior as durosity.

Ok, I tracked down this issue and fixed the problem, it'll be in the next release.

Hmm, suddenly getting this error on loading the plugin after restarting the indigo server:

to the best of my knowledge nothing has change in the indigo configuration. Unfortunately as soon as it starts up this message comes up and i lose the ability to turn on any form of debug that might be able to make it easier to identify whats causing it (i'm assuming it doesn't like a character on a device.. but it's not making it easy to identify which one!)

Just restored a backup of the DB from a couple of days ago when i last restarted indigo and it's the exact same, so i don't think its an indigo DB issue.

Hrm... something seems very wrong here. I've deleted the plugin, the preferences file, restored in a backup of the indigo DB from a week ago, deleted the homebridge devices, restarted the server and still when i load the plugin (a brand new copy from github) i'm still getting the same error messages. What could possibly be confusing it?

Did you already try to disable iFindStuff & Better Email plugins, then reload HBB? That worked for me, then I enabled them again after HBB was working.

I just posted an update that fixes the problem with retaining hand-entered changes into your ~/.homebridge configuration. I'm working on avoiding the errors with Better Email and iFindStuff so that becomes a non-issue in the future.

What's the issue with BetterEmail?

Alas no joy, still getting the same errors with the new version:

I don't have iFindStuff or better email installed at present so it's neither of those. The only plugin i've changed in the last week has been the Ring.com plugin but disabled that and still exact same issues.
