Homebridge sometimes does not start with homebridge-fhem plugin active about homebridge-fhem HOT 8 OPEN

are there any log entries? is fhem already running at the point of homebridge start?

from homebridge-fhem.

No log entries in Homebridge.log apart from the above entry. Fhem is running on a different Raspberry and until a few days ago there were no problems. I restarted both raspis (Homebridge and fhem) every night at 3am. and both found each other without problems.
Now I have to restart the Homebridge Software and sometimes even the raspberry several times. The first attempts lead to the message which says that the plugin is preventing Homebridge from starting. that message is repeated and the Homebridge keeps saying: "Starting..". After several restarts the Homebridge starts fast without problems.
Now I have stopped both raspis from restarting but when I add new devices or updating plugins I have tom restart the Homebridge and then everything stops again with the error message.

from homebridge-fhem.

Is there a specific log from Homebridge-fhem which I can search for possible errors?

if homebridge-fhem can not connect to fhem it used to retry this indefinitely. during this time homebridge basically waits for the connection and hangs.

but the homebridge-config-x requirements state that a plugin startup may only tage x number of seconds i had to limit the maximum waiting time at startup and give up after a while.

if you restart everything and the. homebridge side is slower than the fhem side this would result in the above behavior.

please try the following:

• will restarting only the homebridge side work better?
• restart both sides at different times to ensure the other is running if one is restarter
• set neverTimeout option in the fhem section of the homebridge config. this will go back to the retry indefinitely behavior, but this means that if fhem really does not start for whatever reason that homebridge will also not start.

Could be that I have something in the same direction

I have also this, happening again and again.

It is Happening if my whole Docker containers are starting at the same time. Homebridge seem to be ready before FHEM is completely initialized. Restarting the Homebridge container a little bit later again fixes the problem.

from homebridge-fhem.

yes. staggering the restarts or using neverTimeout to restore the old behavior should work here.
