I'm new to homebridge and HBB, but not new to Indigo. I am trying to set up HBB, and running across this error when I try to save my HBB config:

I'm running the latest Indigo (7.1.1) and HBB (1.0.1) releases. Anything I can do on my end to resolve this? Or is it a bug in the plugin code?

Thanks!
Matt

It's a bug, I can see it in your config where it added a comma to look for another platform. That's a tricky part of the code that has been problematic to work around and needs to be redone (on the list). In the meantime you can turn on the iTunes option for your server as it will plug the hole until I release an update as it'll add another platform there.

Matt, you can also try downloading the latest dev release from Git, work was already done in that section a couple of times and likely resolved the issue.

Thanks for the quick response! I tried turning on iTunes, and then installed the dev build, but neither seems to help. Here's the current log when I try to save the config:

OK, great news! I found the problem! My Indigo server password contains a double-quote character. Since I "cleverly" redacted that info from my log dump that I posted here, there was no way you could have known that. I have now updated my password to remove that double-quote, and I'm past the error. This is a perfectly fine solution for me.

So I guess you might want to add a low-priority enhancement to your list to handle such cases, in case anyone runs into the same error in the future.

Thanks again for the help!

Matt

Yup, that would do it all right. I've added it to the wish list for a future release to test for that condition.
