Siri / HomeKit support for Domoticz

[simon_rb]

I didn't have to install node-persist. I just followed the wiki.. Strange.

Did you install node.js correctly?

Try node -v see what version you have..

[thebeetleuk]

pi@domoticzpi ~/homebridge $ node -v
v0.12.1

Not sure what version I should have.

[simon_rb]

That's the correct version.. Is it still not working?

[simon_rb]

As an addition to the roomid-config, i made a new domoticz.js with a parameter to disable the scenes...

Code: Select all

{
    "description": "Configuration file for Domoticz platform.",
    "platforms": [
        {
            "platform": "Domoticz",
            "name": "Domoticz",
            "server": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": "8080",
            "roomid": 123 (0=no roomplan),
            "usescenes": 0 (0=off, 1=on)
        }
    ],
    "accessories": [
    ]
}

Also made HomeBridge start at reboot with a startup-script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#/etc/init.d/homebridge.sh

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export NODE_PATH=$NODE_PATH:/usr/local/lib/node_modules

case "$1" in
  start)
    exec forever start /home/pi/homebridge/app.js -p /home/pi/.forever
    ;;
  stop)
    exec forever stop /home/pi/homebridge/app.js
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: homebridge.sh {start|stop}"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

exit 0

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/homebridge.sh

update-rc.d homebridge.sh defaults

To remove from startup at reboot:

Code: Select all

update-rc.d -f homebridge.sh remove

Tried this and mine still imported all the scenes..

Have you tried sudo npm run start?
I had a similar error except it couldn't find mdns module.

[thebeetleuk]

Yeah tried that but the error is just the same

[pepijn]

Did you run npm install?

[simon_rb]

Install the node.js part of the wiki using sudo.. It maybe a permissions thing..

[simon_rb]

Did you run npm install?

Or that! Lol

[simon_rb]

I'm having an issue where no matter how I ask Siri to turn on a single light or device in a room it seems to turn everything on or off in the room. Dunno what I'm doing wrong.

[thebeetleuk]

Install the node.js part of the wiki using sudo.. It maybe a permissions thing..

ok so tried all that part again using sudo and no luck. just the same error
might need to give up

[simon_rb]

Did you run npm install twice?

[simon_rb]

Is anybody having success with this? As in able to add all their devices and reliably control them individually using Siri. I have spent 3 days on this now and I'm no closer to understanding what it is I'm doing wrong?!? Or is it just buggy as hell and nothing I can do to correct it?

Tried this and mine still imported all the scenes..

Did you overwrite the Domoticz.js file in folder Platforms with the attachted file?

[thebeetleuk]

Did you run npm install twice?

I tried to run again to see if it missed anything. Is that wrong? would I need to uninstall first? If so, how would I do that?

It has to be run inside the lib-node folder..

Is that this directory?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/

Today I experience new issues with Eve/Siri so I resetted Homekit configuration on my IOS device. After that I opened Eve but it couldnt find my devices anymore.
Trying to run 'npm run start' gives the following message:

Code: Select all
