Dependency on 7.0 folder after upgrade to 7.2?

[Ramias]

Indigo 7.2 installs into its own folder named 7.2 under "/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation" and the old Indigo 7 folder is left behind.

Removing the "Indigo 7" folder breaks Homekit Bridge plugin.

Gives this:

Code: Select all

   HomeKit Bridge Error            HomeKit server 'Basement HomeKit Bridge' could not be started, please check the service logs for more information,
now issuing a forced shutdown of the service to be safe.

If you continue to have problems starting this server use the Advanced Plugin Actions menu option to rebuild the Homebridge folder.
Instructions at https://github.com/Colorado4Wheeler/HomeKit-Bridge/wiki/Plugin-Menu-Utilities#rebuild-homebridge-folder

Restoring the Indigo 7 folder resolves things.

[Ramias]

Did a bit more digging on this. Looks like these HomeKit Bridge devices are all logging to the old (Indigo 7) Plugin directory. Also calling node files from there. Ii have more Homekit bridge devices; just showing two for an example.

See below:

lsof | grep "Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7/

Yes. I spotted the same thing when making the mod that allows Siri to switch off devices that it already thinks are off. It only worked after I made the change in the Indigo 7 folder.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

Thank you for pointing this bug out, I'll address it in the next update! Would you mind opening a ticket on GitHub for this?

[Monstergerm]

Is there an update to this? Now with Indigo 7.3 out, do we still need to keep the 7.0 folder around for HKB to work?

I didn't. Works fine.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

Works fine for me as well, there is no dependency on the 7.0 folder.

[Londonmark]

Does the latest version give the option to force devices to switch on/off regardless of state? I did the workaround previously which is where I discovered a dependency on 7.0 but wonder if I can update without needing to redo that fix.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

There isn't a newer version but I'm not sure what you mean by having an option to force off. I may try to do some coding on HKB next week while I'm out and about in my RV.

[Monstergerm]

Well in my case I noticed after upgrading to Indigo 7.2, that (just like Ramias pointed out) the HKB plugin still uses the old Indigo 7.0 folder. All log updates and the AccessoryInfoXXXXX.json are written to the old 7.0 folder, while other files like config.json are updated in the 7.2 folder.
