Not seeing accessory about homebridge-switchmate-switch HOT 25 CLOSED

looks like the plugin never finished initialization. Is this the log in debug mode?

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

No. Not debug. I set Debug to * and I'm not sure I can weed through that to pull out everything that needs to be pulled for privacy. Any way to guide me what to look for?

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

you can turn on the debug mode(not setting debug environment variable) then copy all lines starting with [SwitchmateSwitch]. you can mark anything that looks like a mac address to you.

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

thanks. looks like it does discover some bluetooth devices but the mac addresses are not in a format that this plugin can understand. they should be something like 5f06d9e88cd2 .
Are you running homebridge on a pi?

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

No. On a Mac. Maybe it’s not picking up the switch just being too far away?

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

no. the plugin is looking for something like 5f06d9e88cd2. Are you installing noble with homebrew?
Looking at their page I don't find anything regarding macOS yet it supports macOS link

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

MacOS is at the top. It just says install Xcode which I verified I have installed. I’ll see if I can find more info down that path. Thanks for the help.

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

Looking through the code examples though there are a bunch of notes regarding MacOS. Don’t know what may or may not apply to your code.
example: Note: isNotification event parameter value MAY be undefined depending on platform. The parameter is deprecated after version 1.8.1, and not supported on macOS High Sierra and later.

And

Note: On macOS, the address will be set to '' if the device has not been connected previously.

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

that's why I'm not sure. There's nothing special regarding the usage of noble on macOS, yet it's outputing something different from linux/raspbian.

Note: On macOS, the address will be set to '' if the device has not been connected previously.

this doesn't matter to us since we're using the id of the device not the address

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

I'll try to see if I can find the problem on my macbook but I'm pretty busy this week so hopefully next week

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

I'm going to move to Big Sur and update Xcode too, see if that helps.

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

This is all I'm seeing now (I don't know that it's related to the updates).

hi @gonzonia, i just updated the plugin with more detailed logs. Please update and see if you get more logs from homebridge.

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

I looked at this some more earlier today. I have some theories....
#1- Noble added some details to their requirements. They added a note about needing to update security settings on OSX.
#2- I looked at another Switchmate plugin and and they had some additional steps that won't work on MacOS. I'm wondering if some of that is to blame.

In my logs now.

#2- I looked at another Switchmate plugin and and they had some additional steps that won't work on MacOS. I'm wondering if some of that is to blame.

I don't see the additional steps. mind referring those?

for the logs is that all you get from the plugin? Normally the scan should start following your last line.

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

From the other plugin - This can't be run on MacOS.

Permissions
NodeJS needs permission to control the Bluetooth radio on your system. Execute the command below to give NodeJS the capability use raw sockets and manage the interface.

sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip' which node

That's it from the logs.

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

maybe they removed the 'undocumented protocol' mentioned here

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

not sure if this is the issue you have abandonware/noble#162

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

That's the security changes I referred to. I made the change, but still no go. I've installed the plugin (is there an install log somewhere?) but no accessories. I think this is likely the issue because an npm install in the homebridge folder (from ssh or terminal directly) results in

> npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: @abandonware/[email protected] (node_modules/@abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for @abandonware/[email protected]: wanted {"os":"linux,android,freebsd,win32","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"darwin","arch":"x64"})

So I think the issue is the that it's being accessed from something other than terminal and I need to determine what and give it appropriate permissions.

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

I think this is likely the issue because an npm install in the homebridge folder (from ssh or terminal directly) results in

it shouldn't be because these 2 are optional dependencies.

if you install the plugin you referred they have a binary tool that scans BLE devices. Have you tried that? Does it work?

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

No. I posted an issue on that plugin as well.

I tried just installing and running switchmate-ble find
This is the result

Hi @gonzonia

Not sure if you still have this problem. I've upgraded my pi4 to bullseye and had the same problem.
Upon checking the bluetooth service is not running due to the new connman cli tool added.

This might be the same problem for you. Can you please check if the bluetooth service corrected started?
You can do so by using sudo systemctl status bluetooth

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

I actually stopped using homebridge and switched over to Home Assistant which had broader support for my devices. I couldn't get the Switchmate device working their either, but it's not a big deal.

from homebridge-switchmate-switch.

Okay I'll close this then. Let me know if you're switching back and we can try debug it.
