Domoticz

Thnx for the quick reply. Just to make sure I also reset Homekit configuration on my iPhone and started adding devices to Eve.

Ok, I've got the homebridge server working and it responds when I try to connect with EVE or Insteon+. Only when I do so, I see some kind of node bridge to add as a device in the two apps. When I add the device it gives me a couple of devices which are not added in the roomplan(garagedoor, fan etc) i've set up in the config.json. It also does not responds to my commands when I talk to siri. (it says sometimes that the lights are switches off/on, when they are not responding at all, and sometimes it says it didnt find the lights.) removing the items in the persistent folder and reseting homekit does not make a difference...

Does anyone know what is going wrong?

Is there a solutions if i use secure web login on the website? Username and password required?

I really like the Siri solution but don't want to open my domoticz website.

Ok, after trying everything... Even buying a new Raspi 2 I have still no luck getting SIRI to work for me...
After allot of searching I see this in the output of people who are having a working example:
This is something I DO NOT get. It only states:
Which makes me believe the config.json is not working or the Server does not pull all the switches from domoticz or cannot connect with domoticz.
This is the config.json I use:
Could anybody please help me because I think I have tried every option right now and still no luck.

I have had this same error. This occurred after a reinstall of HomeKit. Somewhere (or in /root or elsewhere a config file still remains form a previous install. I resolved this by editing the config.json and changing name = "Domoticz" to a different value. That resolved the error. Hope this helps.

Found it!

Maybe you should add the line in the wiki where it states:

Start
Go to the homebridge directory
-> ADD THIS: cd homebridge (or something like this)
npm run start

For the noobs which can't always know which directory to start npm. Anywayz... thanks!

I had this problem also, i using a passwor wheni remove the login then it is working fine...

do sombody know if it is posible to show my temperature with homekit?

Everything seems to work but making it run forever:

pi@raspberrypi ~/homebridge $ npm install forever
npm WARN prefer global [email protected] should be installed with -g
[email protected] node_modules/forever

forever start app.js
-bash: forever: command not found


----------

I followed:

Start at reboot

Go to the homebridge directory

npm install forever
cd homebridge
forever start app.js

I have used "sudo npm install forever". I think that was the solution for this issue.

Yep is it indeed and with the -g option aswell.

i have try to start homebridge at startup
i have try
sudo npm install forever -g
cd homebridge
sudo forever start /home/pi/homebridge/app.js

and get the follow response:
warn: --minUptime not set. Defaulting to: 1000ms
warn: --spinSleepTime not set. Your script will exit if it does not stay up for at least 1000ms
info: Forever processing file: /home/pi/homebridge/app.js

but i doesnt start when i reboot the raspberry

but i doesnt start when i reboot the raspberry

Same errors here. And I still wondering how I can setup a secure login to Domoticz website? Inlogname en password are of course required, but wil homebridge work then?

Those are not errors. I have the same respone, it are just warnings and in the info part you can see that app.js is being processed.
After a reboot you indeed have to run forever again. There will certainly be a solution were you can autostart it after a reboot, check Google for that.

I think you can use username:password@IP in config.json.

i have it working on my raspberry by installing it from the begin.
i can set in domoticz the adjustment of the lights is this with homebridge also posible?
the show only as light and not a dimmer.

Regards

How further?

I started NPM, How can I test it?
The description on http://www.musified.nl/index.php/2015/0 ... z-homekit/ says that I have to install the app on like Insteon+ and search the server.

What app and how can I test if NPM have a good secure connection to the domoticz server?

Hi,

Well I've also got it working, but the device database doesn't seem to work well. Although it tends to read the list of devices, it removes a number of them due to already being in the database - though when looking for them in the Eve app, they are not there. I did notice that where I previously had deleted the device from the Eve app, then they would not appear again (because of this duplicate database record thingy). I've completely re-installed Domoticz, but the missing devices issue is the same.

I suspect that I need to clear the database in HomeKit, but really don't know how to do this.

You can clear the persistancy directory, mentioned some posts ago

Sure - but the database seems to reside in the HomeKit database as a fresh install of Domoticz image didn't clear it as I mentioned earlier.

Also clear the Homekit settings in your iPhone. Go to Settings, Privacy, Homekit and then you can reset Homekit configuration.
