homebridge-config-ui-x and nefit easy plugin not working about homebridge-nefit-easy HOT 14 CLOSED

i don't know what this does but it is working now... so thank you but a bit sad that i don't know what the solution was... but hey it is working and thanks again!

To be honest, I've never used homebridge-config-ui-x (nor do I have a Homebridge setup so I can test it), so I have no idea why it's not working.

Have you checked to see if the Nefit device works through Homekit itself? If not, there might be something else going on; especially if you updated your PI from scratch, you may want to this this.

Thank you for the fast reply. I will try it in the normal mode, haven’t done that yet. The link you provided is to get to the server to check if it’s working right? But i can access the nefit easy by the original app. So it is online. But I will putt my findings here later....

from homebridge-nefit-easy.

The link I provided points to an issue with recent Linux distributions that will prevent any Nefit implementation that I wrote (including the Homebridge plugin) from working from Linux. You need to change the OpenSSL configuration to fix that. It's unrelated to the official app.

Ah ok sorry. Will look into that also. Let you know what will come from that. Thank you

Ok i tried to change the openssl file, but didn't help. Still 'no respons' from my Nefit Easy. I tried to start Homebridge without the config-ui-x, but in terminal i get the error "Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use"... does this ring a bell?

from homebridge-nefit-easy.

It means there's already something listening on a particular (TCP) port that Homebridge is using. But homebridge-nefit-easy doesn't listen on TCP ports itself, so my guess is that it might either be another plugin, or Homebridge itself (for the latter, you can change the port on which it listens in the Homebridge config file).

Yo are right... i did manage to change it and then Homebridge runs... but the Nefit Easy isn't working... it loads without errors, but if i want to set a temp or read the current temp in homekit, or google home they both give the reactie that the device isn't responding... Is there something else i could look into?

update: i see now that if i ask the temp i get a "XMPP authentication failure" in the terminal on the respberrypi.. is this something we can look into?

from homebridge-nefit-easy.

Pass the correct credentials ;) XMPP authentication failures are caused by either the "serial number" or the "access code" not being correct.

from homebridge-nefit-easy.

I do have the correct credentials... Are the spaces needed?

from homebridge-nefit-easy.

Config should be as per the documentation.

You could try installing the CLI utility, that will make testing a bit easier:

npm i -g nefit-easy-cli

(perhaps it will require using sudo in front of that command line)

To retrieve the current status of the Easy:

easy --serial=SERIAL --access-key=ACCESSKEY --password=PASSWORD status

Replace SERIAL, ACCESSKEY and PASSWORD with their respective values.

If i do that i get this as a response
hiding response

this is ok right?

from homebridge-nefit-easy.

Yeah, that's okay. No idea why it's failing for Homebridge. Can you post the Nefit-part of the Homebridge config here? (make sure to remove sensitive information)

Cool! Have fun 😁
