HomeKitLink shuts down after power cut

Glenn, I am having problems with short power outages and slowly working out a way to restart all plugins that fail to restart properly due to lack of internal and external IP’s.
The HomeKitLink plugin is one that I cannot restart as it crashes when loading and I end up with a red spot instead of green which means that it will not respond to a reload request and has to be manually started.
Is there a way to restart the plugin after a set time instead of just closing it?

I can have a look at the error

It is a pretty low level library error as it seems that no network exists.

Often a exception and error as currently the case is best option otherwise will never be caught or seen:

But will have a look,

Try 0.6.17
Catches this particular error, but will be another subsequent error given no network so not completely sure will help....

(Hard for me to test downstream errors, as all my OSX devices are headless, including development Mac Mini. So if I disable network - I’m a bit stuffed! - as I remotes into it)

I have a trigger setup based on the online sensor plugin that restarts certain plugins when power is restored after a particular device stopped responding. Maybe that could also help?

I am using the Indigo error

Code: Select all

Error   Unable to connect to IndigoDomo.com.


which I have only seen when I get the power blips and that then runs a 15 minute delayed execute action group that restarts all the plugins that I have seen fail in the logs.

They also run individually as they error at the Indigo restart which clears up most but not all, so the final delayed action runs after the time it takes to get the network back up.

At present the only one I can't restart is HomeKitLink as it shuts down but hopefully Glenn will sort that as HomeKitLink is in my must have plugins.

Hi Clive
You might have missed it - but try latest version as a post above.
Catches this particularly error, but will be others - but hopefully restartable from...

Yes I did as I didn't get notification of the edit you made as I had already read the original.

Yes more errors but only the ones stating the error

HomeKitLink Siri Error (util.py: Function: get_local_address line: 58): Error : Message : Error Getting local address IP address. See debug log for more details.

Which allows me to use 'Error Getting local address IP address. See debug log for more details' as the trigger to restart the plugin every minute until all the IP's are back up and running

Thanks Glenn
.

I had the fix up within 10 minutes or so! Thought you might have missed it.

Yes I did because I read the message as soon as the email arrived and obviously before the edit arrived, I suppose that is a problem with editing messages but all is now up and running.

Just restarted my Mac Mini (headless) without the network cable, waited 5 minutes and then plugged into the network to look at the logs and all 4 plugins did eventually sort themselves out, reloading every minute until the trigger errors stopped, last thing to come back was the reflector just before the final reload after 15 minutes of all 4 plugins (belt and braces)

Thanks for sorting it out, I control Indigo now from Siri and Apple Home so HKL is an essential plugin for me.

Hopefully I am covered now for when Northern Powergrid in the UK has their next outage
