This plugin slows down Homebridge

peezy45 commented 3 years ago

Hey,

I'm receiving this error with the newest version of the plugin and homebridge.

Homebridge 1.3.4
NodeJS: v14.16.1
NPM v6.14.12

[4/14/2021, 8:55:43 AM] [homebridge-vieramatic] This plugin slows down Homebridge. The read handler for the characteristic 'Active' on the accessory 'Schlafzimmer Fernseher 2BCB' didn't respond at all!. Please check that you properly call the callback! See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.

hi @peezy45

thanks for reporting! AFAIK this may happen if/when you restart homebridge while the TV is off / in standby, and should be innoccuous. If it isn't - i.e. if somehow this implies that things won't work i.e. that TV won't power on / etc via homekit then it is a bug, otherwise just cosmetic cruft 😄

So, which case it is ?

All the best,

António

Hey Antonio,

The result is that Homebridge successfully starts but TVs are not responding in the home app. Other Homebridge devices work as expected.

humm, that's sad ...so, we'll need a bit of additional data in order to try to id the root issue and fix it:

Please attach here the full homebridge's config.json
Please attach here the full homebridge startup logs
Please attach here contents of accessories/vieramatic.json (path is relative to where is homebridge's config.json)
Is this a new install ? if not what's the last version of the plugon that worked for you ?
The issue happens always ? or only if / when the TV is powered off ?

Thanks in advance!

António

Hey, files are included in the zip file. It's an old install, I just updated my homebridge and plugin version and it happens always, already tried to restart homebridge while tvs are both turned on. Didn't help Already restart the whole docker container multiple times. Updated the container. Nothing helped

ok... thanks!!!

2 ,5 quickies, for a start :

what's your specific TV model ? as you also anonymised that :smile: [i care about the one that appears in the logs or in vieramatic.json]
could you please disable for a bit homebridge-nukifrom your setup, restart homebridge, and see if it fixes anything. homebridge-nukiis also popping (config) errors that may slow down homebridge enogh to trigger the issue you are hotting in my plugin.
(also with homebridge-nuki disabled) could you please try to change in your homebridge's config.json "advertiser": "ciao" => "advertiser": "bonjour-hap", then restart homebridge and see if it matters ?

Thanks once again for your patience!

@peezy45

also of note:

your vieramatic.json only has data from one TV (and not the two that you have) which isn't supposed at all. could you also just delete it and restart homebridge and attach newly generated one please.
your docker setup follows upsteams' recommendations [see here], right ? (namelly that the network mode is 'host' ?)

have a great weekend too!

So I tried to disable nuki plugin - no change changed the mdns advertiser - no change tv models are TX-49GXN938 and TX-65GZT1506. docker container network is setup as host, yes I even completely removed the plugin and restored it but still no change. I removed your plugin for now cause the "not responding" devices in my home app really annoy me 😅

greetings mate

😢 could you do an experiment please ? have only a single TV configured in the plugin. restart homebridge and see please if issue persists.

Thanks!

Hello again, sorry for the late reply.

So I deleted the plugin including the persistent files and reinstalled it , now I can't even generate encryption keys anymore. It just says the tv uses encrypted communication and cancels viera-pair command. Could it be related to a software update of my tv's or something ?

Greetings

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

@peezy45 is this still happening to you ?

AntonioMeireles commented 2 years ago

closing per lack of reply. afaict this shouldn't be an issue anymore. if it is with recent versions of the plugin just reopen.
