Re: Can't get Homebridge to auto-load

This should be resolved soon, a plugin that manages HB will be released in the very near future, and some changes that Webdeck has made should make it possible to not only handle the installation in the plugin but to also support multiple instances of HB on a single computer to help with the 99 device limit (these last two parts currently in development, should be ready by the plugin launch).

Awesome! I've just started bumping against the 99 device limit.. i had to sacrifice being able to tell siri to turn on the extractor fan in the utility room that i never, ever use. Frankly.. this is unacceptable.

Computer says no.

HB still crashes for me 2-3 times a day.

Last log entry was probably after a computer restart 2 days ago
Code: Select all
path.js:8
    throw new TypeError('Path must be a string. Received ' +
    ^

I've restarted it manually many times.

On a similar note, I've tried to create a workaround where I have an action group that does
Code: Select all
do shell script "/Users/macadmin/Documents/homebridgeStart.sh"
and even though I can manually do
Code: Select all
./homebridge.sh
at the command line and it starts up fine, I can't make the action group work. No errors in Indigo, but no result either.
