hi @tony7288

Could you please attach here your homebridge's config.json ?

Thanks in advance!

tony7288 commented 3 years ago

sure , see attached config.json.zip

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

Hi,

something odd going on in your setup. there's no TV defined in the config you sent. (and at some point there was otherwise you couldn't get the original log message) . Please set it up here (following this steps) and please get back with the outcome.

Thanks!

tony7288 commented 3 years ago

config (1).json.zip

How about this? I input via Homebridge UI

Try again still cannot look for the encryptiont key

/homebridge # viera-pair 192.168.1.50

/homebridge #

FYI, i can remote control on from Panasonic TV Remote 3 App (iOS)

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

OK, things a bit clearer now. some questions: a) is the TV up when you run viera-pair ? if not, please turn it on. b) what's your nodejs and homebridge version ? and which host OS/Arch ?

thnxs!

tony7288 commented 3 years ago

a) is the TV up when you run viera-pair ? if not, please turn it on. It is Power On

b) what's your nodejs and homebridge version ? and which host OS/Arch ?

Node.js Version | v12.16.3 Homebridge v1.3.4 QNAP NAS Container (OS | Alpine Linux (3.11.6))

Hello,

do You use the embeded process to generate the key ? 1DC8ED02-ABCC-44EA-9661-6F25F5C96D27 04B57E36-46E6-45FE-BEFB-52543685DEF2

First time I don’t use it and generate the key with python…

@AntonioMeireles : can You move the note near the Authentication section ?

Yes, nothing come up and that's why i use old fashion way

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

(sorry lag).

@tony7288 the 'nothing come up' part may (should) be due to you not having the '8973' port open/reachable/mapped in your homebridge dockerfile. can you check, please ?

[still digging on this on my side, still]

thanks for your patience and a great weekend!

@AntonioMeireles I might not descible it clearly. I am able to reach that port 8973 page. Tried key in my TV's IP Address and the page keep trying/loading after clicking the submit button. That is why i fall back to use cmdlet viera-pair

I really appericate your plugin made for Panasonic TV and have a great weekend too

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

things getting weirder.

do you have an linux / mac box around ? if so could you install homebridge and the plugin on it. and just run viera-pair from it ? (fwiw at sight this a networking issue ...) btw - everything is in same vlan right ? (and wired or wireless ?)

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

@tony7288

you running homebridge container in host network mode, right ? (per this)

@colombif

makes absolute sense. will look into that ... many thanks for suggesting it!

@AntonioMeireles Confirm the homebridge container is in "host" network mode I had just installed homebridge in my macOS for testing

good news is i am able to look up the key via testing platform on macOS

bad news is i used found key and appid input in my production Homebridge Container. My Home App won't show the TV even those i tried: -restarted homebridge couple time -remove homebridge is iOS and re-add

Here i can show some log

@tony7288

ok, the good news (not to you) is that i'm innocent and this does not seem to be plugin's fault. OTOH that doesn't solve your issue at all. still researching. this is fundammentally a documentation issue - something needs to be set additionally on your docker setup so that communication occurs both ways.

thanks once again for your patience!

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

@tony7288

just to confirm - if you load/setup homebridge/the plugin on your mac - there everything works OK, right ? [just to fully exclude the TV from the trouble equation]

tony7288 commented 3 years ago

@AntonioMeireles I do think it is not plugin's fault but i still not able to figure out why

I clone my config in my testing macOS and add in my Home app Panasonic still not add in Home app but other accessories (Broadlink RM) are able to add in

Another bad news is... I tried remove Homebridge in my Home app (my production container one), reboot my iOS, and re-add in my Home app None accessories add just now (even my existing Broadlink RM accessories is not showing....) lmao

I might figure out on tomorrow (it is very late night in my time zone)

But thanks for your advise.

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

@tony7288

just one note ... plugin is a platform one... which means that after you add the homebridge to home.app you need to also add the TV itself. (needs to be that way - platform - as one user may have multiple TVs)

good night!

tony7288 commented 3 years ago

@AntonioMeireles Appreciate your help again. I had changed my container network setting from host to bridge. It seems resolved all issue. I finally able to power on and off TV from Home App and the status of power is in real time. It seems there is other port conflicts with my other containers. (i am still unsure)

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

@tony7288

great to hear! glad that you sorted it out. hope you enjoy and have gun using the plugin. feel fre to bug me again if you feel that something is not behaving as it should on my/plugin's side.

All the Best,

António
