Trying to update it to Jessie now, I read somewhere that might help

Seems like many have trouble getting homekit working on pi2?? Trying to find a solution too.
Tell us if it works for you =)

Yep, updating raspbian to jessie worked as in the link i pasted above.

[tcviper]

i got my HomeBridge running with autostart @reboot (rpi)

I used PM2 instead of forever. If you follow the instructions below, it will autostart HomeBridge after a reboot of you pi...

Code: Select all

sudo npm install pm2 -g
cd ~/homebridge/
pm2 start app.js --name HomeBridge

pm2 save

pm2 startup raspberry
sudo su -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin pm2 startup raspberry -u pi"

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/pm2-init.sh

Edit /etc/init.d/pm2-init.sh so that
export PM2_HOME="/home/pi/.pm2"
(was export PM2_HOME="/root/.pm2" but this causes errors)

Code: Select all

sudo update-rc.d pm2-init.sh defaults

Reboot and check proceslist...

Code: Select all

sudo reboot
pm2 list

Should something look like...

Code: Select all

┌────────────┬────┬──────┬──────┬────────┬─────────┬────────┬────────────┬──────────┐
│ App name   │ id │ mode │ pid  │ status │ restart │ uptime │ memory     │ watching │
├────────────┼────┼──────┼──────┼────────┼─────────┼────────┼────────────┼──────────┤
│ HomeBridge │ 0  │ fork │ 9092 │ online │ 0       │ 0s     │ 9.113 MB   │ disabled │
└────────────┴────┴──────┴──────┴────────┴─────────┴────────┴────────────┴──────────┘

Enjoy!

This procedure is very cool however, when rebooting it didnt start, when i then manually enter pm2 start app.js --name HomeBridge it works but when i reboot it ha s nothiing in pm2 list. Any idea?

not better

Try updating Domoticz.js. Then sudo reboot and see if it helps:

Done, but still the same issue

I can't for the life of me find the persists file/folder!

Everything else is working fine. Just can't add the devices perviously added as I need to find 'persists'.

Anyone know where it is?

you can find it in the homebridge folder: cd ~/homebridge/persist/

btw, you don't need to manually add the devices anymore with the latest Homebridge: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/w ... tion-Guide

Thanks for that!

Just installed homebridge yesterday. The devices are still showing up individually in Eve. Any ideas?

Try resetting Homekit Configuration on your IOS device: Settings -> Privacy -> Homekit
After that start Eve again

[King1987]

I did try it but couldn't get it working. It was some while ago so don't know anymore what didn't work.
However Nodejs 0.12 is part of the Synology packages. You could try that. Please share your results.

Really, I'm going to search for that one, once I've got an update, I will let it know here

Thanks again. Removed and reinstalled homebridge.
persist doesn't seem to exist anymore and devices are still missing from 'add accessories an Eve'. No homebridge option either.

very strange!

Hi Guys,

After a while away from this I thought I'd give it another go. After installing nodes 0.12.6 and getting NPM installed I ran it and I get this error... Any ideas? Could it be to do with the new updated homebridge?

I indeed had to upgrade to Jessie on my RPiB+, reinstall node 4.0.0. Only then everything compiled properly and homebridge finally started. Yay!!
Interestingly though... Eve was able to get devices but Insteon never saw any device. But what worried me was that when I change some device name or restart homebridge, more often than not, Eve couldn't connect or find anything. It was like a roulette..sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Strangely, requesting homebridge via the browser always returned the proper data in the response. So maybe Eve sometimes couldn't bonjour it's way into homebridge?

Is the new HomeBridge where we don't have to add the single devices already in the beta repo for Domoticz on Raspberry?

[simon_rb]

Anyone have this working with the new homebridge? I followed wiki to the letter and it doesn't work... Hmmm

I have no problems here. Siri is working stable since the last two weeks.
What exactly doesn't work? Could you post more details like logs, screenshots or just more info of your errors?

hello everyone, this is my first post and i don't want it to be a cry for help so i will word it slightly different

i have domoticz as my main HA system, sent my vera back and its working almost flawlessly... i am using openmediavault (based on debian) and also have homebridge running which is almost flawless as well, but i have a strange occurrence which i doubt it anything to do with Domoticz but someone on here may have an idea..
when i ask siri to turn up / down the temp on my nest it does do what i ask, but it replies with:

Ok i have set the 0000004A-0000-1000-8000-0026BB to 19 degrees ?!?!?

i tried changing the name in the Eve app and also changing the siri name in eve but i cannot get it to stop calling nest 0000004A-0000-1000-8000-0026BB
the "shim" has nest as the name as well... i cannot find a single thing about it on google, and the developers only seem to have git accounts which i don't have.

does anyone have any pointers ?
cheers
