error code about homebridge-rpi HOT 10 CLOSED

Looks like the pigpiod cannot access /proc/cpuinfo. Did you whitelist it? See https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-rpi#file-access.

from homebridge-rpi.

YES YES YES!!!!
i am running this on homebridge so i can control it with homekit (apple). If you only install the plugin it's not going to work.
So i did this (the file access thing). (like you told me to do)

**_File Access

pigpio provides a hook to access files remotely. homebridge-rpi uses this hook to get the Raspberry Pi's serial number from /proc/cpuinfo and to get the output from the vcgencmd script. These files need to be whitelisted, in /opt/pigpio/access:

$ sudo sh -c 'cat - > /opt/pigpio/access' <<+
/proc/cpuinfo r
/opt/pigpio/vcgencmd.out r
+_**

I am Running this code on a raspberry 4 with 4gb memory .

on this board. The only problem with the board is... they make it like off is on and on is off.

I h

Working great!!
now when i leave my home all lights go out in my shed

Other question.
Should it work with wifi? did you test it?

from homebridge-rpi.

The only problem with the board is... they make it like off is on and on is off.

Did you connect the light to the relay NO or NC output? Anyways, I’ll see if I can add a setting per port to indicate that the on/off logic is reversed.

Are those push buttons on the board? Did you try Double Press and Long Press on them?

Should it work with wifi?

Not sure where you want to use WiFi? Looks like you’re running homebridge on the Raspberry Pi to which the board is connected? Yes, homebridge should work over WiFi, but wired Ethernet might be more reliable.

they just made a design fault with the pull up diode.
dont ask me why. But any other relay boards works fine.

Yes push buttons. i personly do like the double press and long press. give some new ideas.

Wifi is sometimes just that little bit more easy for far away things.

v0.0.5 has a reversed setting for button, contact, and switch devices.

_Configure pigpiod Service

Raspbian comes with a service definition for pigpiod, in /lib/systemd/system/pigpiod.service. By default pigpiod won't accept remote connections, due to the -l option. To enable remote connections, run sudo raspi-config and set Remote GPIO (P8) under Interfacing Options (5). This will create a drop-in configuration in /etc/systemd/system/pigpiod.service.d/public.conf, removing the -l option. After that, reload the daemon by:

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Enable pigpiod Service

To enable and start pigpiod as a service, issue:

$ sudo systemctl enable pigpiod
$ sudo systemctl start pigpiod

To check that the service is running, issue:

$ pigs hwver

Its working for relay switches. On is On on the board. But stil its wierd that they make the board diffrent.

Im having difficulty installing the vcgencmd script. Do I have to copy paste the entire grey block in the terminal, (which gives me errors) or do I type it in line by line in the terminal (which makes me stuck in this > mode where I can't t give any commands anymore. Or do I just copy the code between the commands in nano and save it as an .sh? Can you elaborate on the instructions?

Secondly, when i test by doing pigs shell vcgencmd, I get 32256 as response

from homebridge-rpi.

Copy/paste the text (from sudo up to and including the line with only +) into the shell. That will create the script. If you copy line for line, you'll see the > prompt, until you get to the line with only +.

Next, copy/paste the line with chmod (not including the $ prompt), to make the script executable. Probably need a sudo before chmod as well...

Secondly, when i test by doing pigs shell vcgencmd, I get 32256 as response

If pigs shell vcgencmd returns anything other than 0, the script hasn't run properly, see http://abyz.me.uk/rpi/pigpio/pigs.html#SHELL.
