homebridge-edomoticz Plugin

[philipmec]

Hi!
I have a weird problem with the homebridge plugin.
The plugin works fine as long as there is no device added in domoticz, but as soon as I add a device, the plugin crashes with:

Code: Select all

Homebridge is running on port 51826.
Could not register platform accessory! (17)
homebridge[627]: Error: homebridge-edomoticz - eDomoticz attempt to register an accessory that isn't PlatformAccessory!

It does not matter if I add a switch or the forecast or whatever, the plugin always behaves the same.
Can anybody tell me what this error means and/or how it gets triggered?

Thank you very much!!

Is it possible, to have several sections in config.json to handle serveral rooms between domoticz and appl home or can I only use one section with one room? Thanks a lot.

Hello,

I run the marcoraddatz-homebridge dock with Domoticz plugin on my Synology NAS. I have my NAS configured to go to a power down state at night and restart the next day. When it starts I am getting the following error:

Code: Select all

[2017-11-27 19:24:12] Homebridge is running on port 51826.
[2017-11-27 19:24:12] [Domoticz] Could not register platform accessory! (Thermostaat)
Error: Cannot add a bridged Accessory with the same UUID as another bridged Accessory: f196f105-67c9-4c7b-9495-ba6f125d15fa

After this error occurred I can manually restart the container and the UUID error will be gone and everything will function correctly. Any ideas on how to fix this? I would very much like to keep my NAS powered off during the night.

Firstly, I have to say this plugin is brilliant. Had it up and running in no time and it works great. I do have one weird problem I can't seem to sort out; my garage door. I have an Aeotec Garage Door Controller hooked up to my Hormann Supramatic opener which is setup in Domoticz as an 'blinds inverted'. It works correctly and shows the correct open and closed status. If I open the door, the Apple Homekit sees it as 'opened', and closed as 'closed'. However, if I set any automation to 'close' the door (e.g. at night time to make sure it is closed), it opens the door. If I tell Siri to close the door when closed, the door is opened. Seems that the current state of the door is simply ignored (the converse also applies); but the status always shows the correct status of the door. Anyone got any thoughts/ideas?

[harrykausl]

I use a selector switch in domoticz, I see it in eve, there it is defined as a light switch but I can't do anything with it. Is selector switch possible in apple home? Thanks.

Is it possible, to have several sections in config.json to handle serveral rooms between domoticz and appl home or can I only use one section with one room? Thanks a lot.

Yes. You should create rooms in Domoticz>Setup>More Options>Plans>Roomplan and add devices to those. You then need one entry for each (identical except for room number) in the config.json file.

I had everything working just fine, but then I updated to the latest version of Homebridge and homebridge-edomoticz and I started to get errors like this when I started homebridge:

Code: Select all

Even if I delete the persist and accessories directories, the error returns after I restart homebridge for the second time.

I have checked that there are no duplicate device names in Domoticz.

I'm getting to the point where I might have to start with a new installation, but if anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate it!

(I have validated my config.json file. Just in case, here is the platforms section:

Did you removed accessories and persist directory from ~/.homebridge ?
then add the homebrige again into homekit

Yes I removed the directories and re-added to HomeKit. I even changed the username and pin in config.json.

Well, I rebuilt from scratch using a different pi and a new SD card and I still have the same error.

I have only specified a couple of rooms in the config.json file:

    "bridge" : {
	    "name" : "Homebridge",

            "pin" : "031-45-154"
        },
    "platforms": [
	       {
	    "platform":	"eDomoticz",

	    "port":	"8080",

    	},
               {
            "platform": "eDomoticz",
            "name":     "eDomoticz",
            "server":   "127.0.0.1",

            "mqtt":     true
        }
],
    "accessories" : [
    ]
}
 

Does anyone know how to modify eDomoticz to prevent it from trying to load an accessory that has previously been loaded into homebridge?

[Andree]

But why you have to set different platform for any roomid?
You can configure a plan in domoticz like "homebridge" and add in this plan only, and all, devices you want to have in Homebridge..

The reason I am using roomid is to control which accessories are available to Homebridge (via the Domoticz room plan) and, I suppose, because that’s how I always had it!

However, I just found that setting the roomid to 0 [include all accessories] for just one platform does solve the problem - so there’s something wrong in the code where it iterates through the platforms (rooms).

I’m going to test whether I can use excludedDevices to remove those accessories that I don’t want.

[Andree]

sorry I did not explain well.
You can configure a new plan (roomid) only for the device you want to control via homebridge and set this roomid in homebridge.
In my case i have some plan for bedroom, bathroom, garage, kitchen ecc..and one plan named "homebridge" with all device i can control via homebridge and this roomplan (roomid) is unique roomid set in homebridge.

[Lorccan]

I did understand. Thank you.

I think both ways would work. Now that I have it working, I don’t want to upset it again by changing!

Well I have some issues.

[febalci]

Using marcoraddatz/homebridge on Synology. I updated the docker image and container to homebridge 4.1. Now it gives this error:

Code: Select all

[eDomoticz] There was a problem connecting to Domoticz.
- Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8084

If i use local ip 192.168.1.12:8084 it connects but not with 127.0.0.1? I am using the same config.json as before.

UPDATE: You have to select host while creating the container, not bridge under network. It seems like it is solved.

hi already foud a solution for this?
i came to the same problem
i would like to have my room id`s imported to homebridge if thats possible...

Hello,

I have HomeKit running on my raspberry and I can say light out etc that works fine.

I have also an Toon Thermostaat but that one is not showing in Homekit it is in my Domoticz system and that works super.

I put everything from Toon in Room ID 2 the same as my lights.

The Only thing that is loading in in homekit is:

Toon Auto program and toon scenes is nothing, I can also not use it in homekit it is to put toon on home, or sleep mode.

could somebody explain how I get Toon complete function in homekit.

Thanks for your help.

Michel

Any ideas on where it is going wrong?

Hi guys

First of all thank you all very much for this great piece of software. have it installed in Pi3, Domoticz, Homebridge & edomoticz and working with homekit & Apple TV4. I use 4 Aeotec wall plug switches. I can see en very rapidly use the switches with the Apple home app (love it!!) but the extra switches Aeotec creates in Domoticz are not recognized in the home app I got this error message

HAP Warning: Characteristic undefined not in required or optional characteristics for service

I found the info in index.js but sorry for being a little noop I have no idea where en how to put these extra lines.

Does someone have a example for me where to put this information for the custom switches (kWh etc)

Thanks!
