Siri / HomeKit support for Domoticz

[simonrg]

Maybe I need to remove npm, node from the system completely and start again.. What would be the best way of doing that? Tried sudo NPM Unintsall but that didn't work

Your NPM installation looks ok, it appears to have a single file in the homebridge installation corrupted, but difficult to tell precisely a distance.

I would try to entirely reinstall homebridge.

Copy all the commands below into a terminal. These first move homebridge to homebridge1 and then repeat the complete installation as per the wiki and finally try to run homebridge again:

Code: Select all

cd ~
mv homebridge homebridge1
git clone https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge.git
cd homebridge
git submodule init
git submodule update
npm install
cd lib/HAP-NodeJS
npm install
cd ~/homebridge
cp ../homebridge1/config.json .
npm run start

P.S. it would be lot easier to follow your error messages into a code block, rather than upload a picture, as that way it is possible to check the full set of errors far more easily.

[simon_rb]

Simonrg, ok I'll upload them from now on. Also I have just used the purge command to remove npm and node. Will try again.. Will also follow your commands. Thank you

[simon_rb]

Same error codes and result.
Guess it's a no go on my raspberry pi...

[simonrg]

It appears that there is a limit to how many devices homebridge can cope with. The original code fails with "port out of bounds", when I reduce the nextPort value in app.js from 51826 to 31826 my error disappears.

Now I just need to fix my iPhone to get the Keychain option back.

[simon_rb]

Could that also be my problem? Saying that I ran it without a config.json file and had the same result.
This is from my debug log.

Doesn't look like it, if you look further up this thread you will see my very specific error message - port out of bounds.

What you have uploaded is I think part of the debug log which is helpful if npm itself is failing, but if the application is failing then the screen output before this is more useful - it should refer to files in the ~/homebridge path and give a specific error message, which may give a hint as to what is wrong.

Error: argument 8: port number is out of bounds.

Yes, that's better it does look like the same error. Do you have hunderds of real devices, I do because of the way my system is configured? Or is your system full up with hundreds of Unknown devices?

Before modifying the code I would recommend removing the unknown devices from Domoticz, by turning off "Accept new hardware devices" and then going through your devices list deleting all unused / unknown devices. Then try npm run start.

If that doesn't work, then you can try my dumb tweak.

I edited app.js commented out the existing line and replaced it with the new line, as below:

Code: Select all

//var nextPort = 51826;
var nextPort = 31826;

If you do the same, then hopefully you will have a working homebridge.

BUT, I don't know if this will still work with homekit, because that bit I haven't been able to try, as I am unable to set the iCloud keychain on my IOS system.

There may be a reason why the nextPort was set at 51826 which I have wrecked.

[simon_rb]

I have 200 devices.. I'll try and trim it a bit.

But I have the same errors with homebridge not running even when I don't have a config file configured. So am I right in thinking it can't be the same error your having. For some reason homebridge won't run on my pi.

I've ran out of things to try now.

You need to post a lot more of your npm screen output to able to see what is going on with your system, do you get something like this:

[simon_rb]

I only get that if I use the config.json file.. However I have since removed that and I get the same error where homebridge won't start - even without finding any devices..

[simonrg]

It is going to error without a config.json file, and I think the npm-debug.log file will look the same, because it doesn't capture the real error.

If all your screen output looks the same with or without the config.json file then you would have a different error.

BUT as you say it doesn't then (and you have a port out of bounds error), what counts is the bit referring to advertisment.js which is where homebridge fails, the lines after that tell you each of the functions which have called each other to call the ...DNSService..... which finally failed when it was called with a port out of bound value.

By changing the nextPort number in /home/pi/homebridge/app.js, I stop the port going out of bounds.

[simon_rb]

Getting an error message now saying it can't find module mdns however it is there as when I try to install it, it says it's installed and up to date. I'm going backwards lol

Edit:- working again now, this is the entire code from start to finish:-

simonrg, I changed the port like you said and I now have this at the end so I think its working.. Will test and let you know!!!

Update:-
Unfortunately it isn't working. When I pair a device and use the default code it disconnects the server. Maybe this is port related, like simonrg said - changing the port may have broken it. Using the default port crashes the server so I'm a bit stuck. Gizmocuz, how many devices do you have in your setup? I feel I am soooo close...

Sorry for all the posts guys. I have it running with very mixed results. Is there a file somewhere that stores all the discovered switches and scenes from domoticz so I can remove a lot of them.. Maybe it will work better then? If not maybe an update to domoticz to deselect switches you don't want shown up as discoverable. Or maybe a way of adding each switch I'd like to use manually - time consuming but same end result. I have a lot of dummy switches that don't need to be in the HomeKit database...

Cheers guys and girls!

Doing a bit of research it turns out that I think each bridge can only have 100 devices, I have about 160. I think the only way I can get it to work correctly is to add devices manually using the config.json. Does anyone know how to do this rather than making every device viable using the setup in the wiki?

Cheers

Interesting, only 100.

Two thoughts, one simple, one not so.

From memory you can hide devices in Domoticz by placing a $ at the start of the device name - you could try this and see if it stops devices being picked up by homebridge, it will depend on whether the json call still displays them or not. Such devices will no longer show up as switches on the switch page, but the logs will be available on the devices page. Certainly this would be no problem for devices such as my PIRs and would unclutter the devices page as well.

It would be fairly easy to modify platforms/Domoticz.js to filter the devices which it pass to homebridge, either based on a pre-set list or just a regular expression. I am not a Javascript native, but I suspect a combination of Google for similar code filtering a text list and playing should work.

[simon_rb]

The second sounds more complicated but better in the long run. Are all the devices found stored in Domoticz.js? I think you can have as many bridges as you wish, just each bridge can only have 100 devices assigned to it. Will try the dollar sign option however I'd need to do that to a lot of devices lol!

[gizmocuz]

maybe we can add an optional parameter (room plan).
this way we can create a room, just for siri/homebridge, and put all devices in there that you want to control ?
it is an extra json query parameter to request devices from a room, so this should not be to hard to implement
