First of all I am not quite experienced in these kind of things but I downloaded the latest plugin assuming that after installing the Homebridge Buddy and Hombridge (server) would install automatically by installing the plugin.
This is what I did:
1. Install Plugin
2. Configure Plugin and fill the username and password
3. Create Indigo device for Type Homebridge Indigo Server and exclude all devices and than include one for testing
When I set this device from step 3 to on I get the following message and gets automatically to off
EPS - Homebridge Buddy Starting the Homebridge server 'Homebridge Server', do not try to use Siri until you get a message that the server has started
EPS - Homebridge Buddy sent "Homebridge Server" on
EPS - Homebridge Buddy Warning The Homebridge server 'Homebridge Server' has stopped
When I start Homebridge from the plugin menu I get this message:
EPS - Homebridge Buddy Starting the Homebridge server 'Homebridge Server', do not try to use Siri until you get a message that the server has started
But this message does not show.
Also "Show Homebridge Log" gives this error:
EPS - Homebridge Buddy module.js:472
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module '/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7/Plugins/EPS Homebridge.indigoPlugin/Contents/Server Plugin/bin/hb/node-v7.2.1-darwin-x64/lib/cli'

In the end Homebridge does not show up in the Home app off my iphone.
Any suggestions what I am doing wrong

Re: Homebridge Server Doesn't seem to work
I'm not really sure what would be causing that error, that's a core error in the HB-Indigo itself - even beyond that, something that would have shown up on every single installation if it were the core. I suspect your download was corrupt or how you installed it may be odd.

Re: Homebridge Server Doesn't seem to work
Thanks for the reply. So download it again and reinstall. Do I need to remove things or just reinstall.

You might remove things and see what happens. That message is really bizarre.

Re: Homebridge Server Doesn't seem to work
I removed the plugin and downloaded the zip file and installed it. Server is on and homekit shows in the home app.
Don't see any devices but that is the next step. Thanks

Re: Homebridge Server Doesn't seem to work
As said the server seems up and running but no show of accessories.
The homebridge log shows an error.

Re: Homebridge Server Doesn't seem to work
You need to go into the Plugin Prefs and set the username and password to access Indigo.

Re: Homebridge Server Doesn't seem to work
That is already in place.
Should the server path be filled. If so, is this the indigo path?
The log is saying error paarsing.... /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/devices.json/
But I can't find the device.json in that directory. Should that be in place?
Also could this be an issue:

Re: Homebridge Server Doesn't seem to work
I am not aware of a system issue and not sure what you are thinking of.
Should I have devices.json in that directory. What is the error message suggesting. Does that give you any idea?
Secondly what should be in the server path field.

No, you should not be filling in the server path - that's the issue.

Thanks WD for stepping in, it was getting into the Node.JS territory and that's more of your domain than my own

Re: Homebridge Server Doesn't seem to work
Guys, thanks for helping.
I have removed the server path and saved in the pluging and opened the Indigo device "homebridge for indigo" and also from that menu saved homebridge configuration. Not knowing what is the difference.
The error in the log is still the same. Could it be that the removing of path in the plugging ist stil in some place and is not reflected in the other parts.
