Homebridge Detected No devices

I've installed the new plug in and Indigo has automatically added a device called "Homebridge for Indigo" I had previously removed the Home from the app on iPhone. The new Homebridge was detected without problems on the iPhone but there are no appliances listed. I've added some in Indigo but no matter what I've tried cannot find any.
the Indigo event log shows no errors when the Homebridge device is started or stopped so appears to be working.

This may be the issue. Try going into he config on your "Homebridge for Indigo" device and change the user name by one character somewhere, this should force HomeKit to re-poll.

Re: Homebridge Detected No devices

I've just tried that and still no different, is there a way to view the config file to see if the appliances are listed?

Re: Homebridge Detected No devices

I had this problem too. To fix this I had to set my indigo username and password in the config.json for homebridge.

Whereabouts did you fine the configure file as it's not where it used to be!

Re: Homebridge Detected No devices Now works!

It's now working, but not exactly sure why! I uninstalled Homebridge again, macports and npm then reinstalled everything. This recreated the home bridge folder where I expected it to be. threw in the old config file and everything has sprung to life. I have a feeling somehow the "user" .homebridge folder had not been recreated so there was no config file.
But a huge step forward over the older method of managing HomeKit devices for Indigo.

Re: Homebridge Detected No devices

I found the data dir here:

Code: Select all
/Library/Application\ Support/Perceptive\ Automation/Indigo\ 7/Plugins/EPS\ Homebridge.indigoPlugin/Contents/Server\ Plugin/bin/hb/homebridge


Where the data was in the directory matching the Device ID of the Homebridge Indigo Server. (I found it was there from
Code: Select all
pgrep homebridge
in Terminal.)

You got it. There are also links in the plugin menu to view the config in those folders as well as the log.

Re: Homebridge Detected No devices

The plugin detected my previous homebridge configuration (before I deleted it) as a custom setup which allowed me to set the password, but the automatic setup doesn't have those fields nor does it automatically populate them. It seems like an oversight.

The fields are no longer user editable but they are populated in the config.

Might be a bug lurking since two of us had them blank.

Re: Homebridge Detected No devices

Please use the plugin menu and do a log and configuration output and post them, let's see if there's something obvious we can tackle.

Re: Homebridge Detected No devices

I'm confused, is this issue resolved or not? I just deleted the thread where you asked the same question but said it was resolved.
