I'm just not getting it

I've installed HBB and it appears that it's running. I've been able to setup the Homebridge Server in Indigo. I've been able to add that server to Home on my iPhone. So now how do I add my Insteon devices to the Home app? None of them show up. In setting up HBB I've told it to include ALL my devices but none show up in the Home app. I really wish there was a VERY simple step by step setup for all this without all the programming language...with pictures. I realize there is something kinda close as far as setting up the plugin, but then nothing about actually setting up each device or adding them to the Home app.

I'm just not getting it

In the homebridge buddy device did you specify your indigo login details or your Mac login details?

Re: I'm just not getting it

It's running on the same computer, do I need to give it a login for my computer?

Re: I'm just not getting it

No you need to give it the indigo server login details!

Oh! Wow that's been running so long I'm not sure I even remember what that is. I know it's written down so I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Re: I'm just not getting it

Try this topic http://forums.indigodomo.com/viewtopic.php?f=204&t=17874&hilit=homebridge+server+doesn%27t - it was a help to me when recently setting up HBB.
In particular this part...
Should the server path be filled. If so, is this the indigo path?


No, you should not be filling in the server path - that's the issue.
I had filled in the server path and was going nowhere fast.
Although it sounds like your problem may be a different one. Hope you get sorted.

Re: I'm just not getting it

So I was able to get this to work...on a different machine in a different home. I think I've really screwed up the install at my main computer which I am away from right now. I did manage to log into that Mac and uninstall the HBB plugin and then reinstall it. I got an error in the log from the plugin starting up and there's really no way to try to set up the Home app while I'm not at that house so I'm kind of on hold for now.

Re: I'm just not getting it

And if I select Show Homebridge Log I get this. It looks like there may be a conflicting plugin installed??

Re: I'm just not getting it

I've really been working on this, trying all sorts of things including copying the entire Indigo 7 folder from the other Mac to this Mac. Still no dice. I just can't get past this error and I believe that's what's keeping the server from showing up in the Home app. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
