Homebridge for HomeKit hack

cd homebridge
npm install async

Argh.. i almost tried that and thought to myself 'nah it can't be that'.. honestly i could slap myself.

thanks

cd homebridge
npm install async

Sorry about that extra step being necessary. Hopefully your pull request that fixes that will be merged soon.

They renamed the HAP-NodeJS module to be all lower case. Download it again and redo the

npm install

and that may fix it.

I was able to somehow get Homebridge "working" again, and started adding my changes to add Actions support, but then I ran into some problems, and now I'm stuck with Homebridge "not broadcasting" again. Or at least, when I click "Add a Device" on my iPhone (Insteon+), nothing is found. I reverted back to your Indigo.js file, and it still can't find Homebridge. So frustrating.

Londonbridge,

Are you sure your config.json file is set up correctly? Your log shows:

Loading 0 platforms...
Loading 27 accessories...

But I think it should load 1 platform and 0 accessories.

I may have found my problem.... I believe it has to do with the contents of the persist folder - AccessoryInfo and IdentifierCache. If I blow those away, I think Homebridge starts up clean.

doing a new install to get the new additions got the async requirement
running this in the home bridge directory from the terminal took that away,

Code: Select all

npm install async

edit: but thats already mentioned..

dgarozzo

You found the problem for me. I have edited the config file adding a platform and deleting all of the accessories. It now seems to be working (although I have some device names to simplify).

Not sure why I need to delete all the accessories though - I was hoping to edit those to give me the names I wanted (and to exclude some).

LM

FYI, I've submitted a pull request for what I think will fix the connection reset error that some people are seeing. I changed it to discover one device at a time so it doesn't overwhelm Indigo with REST calls. I also added more error checking so that if Indigo returns JSON that doesn't parse correctly, it will ignore it and log an error instead of crashing. I'll post here when the new version has been merged into the mainline.

-Mike

These updates have been added to nfarina's repository. This should address the connection reset error some people saw. It also incorporates dgarozzo's fix to automatically install the async dependency when you do an npm install.

-Mike

Hmm.. so i've updated to the latest version but i've got an odd issue where when adding to the HomeKit app on my iPhone i'm getting an error stating:

"Adding Failed: Could not connect to the accessory"

Code: Select all

accent:~ Mike$ cd homebridge
accent:homebridge Mike$ npm run start

As it stands right now my DB only has 1 item ticked for remote display. I've cleared out the persist folder, deleted all existing items from the iOS app, and made a sacrifice to my god but no joy. Now interestingly if i create a new DB and just adding one device to it works perfectly, so i suspect there's something in my existing DB that's causing the issue but i can't identify what it is.

Webdeck/Mike,

I'm stuck trying to add actions. I checked my code in here: https://github.com/dgarozzo/homebridge/. Can you have a look? Maybe you can tell what I've done wrong. When I go to connect from my iPhone to Homebridge, it tells me that my "device" doesn't conform to Homekit. Right now, I have the lines commented out that are responsible for adding the action, so you won't see the problem until you uncomment those lines.

The plan was to make actions the same as switches that you can "turn on (or off)" to execute the action.

On the failed run, when I attempt to connect, I get the following:

Code: Select all

I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess, HomeKit doesn't like the concept of a "write-only" switch. Try giving it read permission and always returning 0 as the value.

Hi Mike,

Just wanted to let you know that your swift work fixed the reset issue, all working perfectly now! Thanks so much!

Thanks,
Pete
