Trouble Adding Action Group

[ryanbuckner]

I'd like to be able to use Siri to unlock my car, which is an Action Group in Indigo. I have added the Action Group to the HKLS Bridge a few different ways. They all result in error logs flooding the even t log. Is there a secret to using Action Groups with HomeKitLink Siri? I've tried a switch, a lock

Hi

Have just tested - 0n 0.6.5 - no issues here with adding action groups, or adding to home and functioning on/off within home app….

Action groups will ideally have to be switches. As they have no states and can only be activated.

What particularly error message are you seeing?

(Having just noticed you name of device ‘BMW’ - it may relate to particularly short name you are using, just tested and works fine with that as well…)

I tried again with the name "BMW Door" , chose Lock type and didn't put anything in the device type. Here's the error I get when I save. The device is created in Home

Here's the configuration of the device in the plugin::

For additional info, the Action Group executes an Unlock command using the Connected Drive plugin

Hi

That will because you are using LockType, having enabled show All Options (which allows any choice)

An Action group - has has no on/off states, or any states at all, it can simply be run or not. It also doesn’t report back any states to Indigo it simply runs, and then we turn back off again.

Instructions:

all action Groups are supported as Switchs/Fans/Outlets only

Follow the instructions to unpublish the device. Unclick the publish button, save device, restart bridge -check gone in the Home app.

Republish it as a Switch type and would guess will work, although you mentioned you have tried as switch? And you first image is as a Switch - perhaps hadn’t been unpublished from Home app before changed?

It is possible to bypass this error for Locks (relates to the complete lack of state). But regardless they still wouldn’t work as Locks needs multiple confirmation of their state. Would sit as Opening…. or Closing… forever…. and not be ideal.

I recreated this using a new virtual device and a switch. It's working now. Thanks

[GlennNZ]

An action group alone still should work - and does on my testing.

Having reacquainted myself with codebase, Just needs to be switch type - as that has the extra logic to deal with the lack of states of action groups.

As a AG Switch - it also acts as a toggle on/off switch. Toggle to on, activating the AG and then immediately returns to Off state.
