No URi in Logs

[ramonmazinga]

I've just configured the plugin on my Homebridge running on a raspberry pi. Once generated the button (just one) on the plugin coniguration, it creates two buttons on the accessories page. The LOGS don't show anything about those accessories so I can't retrieve the URi

[Djelibeybi]

Can you provide the config you're using and the logs as Homebridge starts?

[ramonmazinga]

I’ve updated node.js to the latest version, and now I do get the URi However, on HomeKit I get a message that says "This accessory requires a home hub to be used with the Home app” The 2 buttons that got created under accessories (switch and battery) are not associated with any of my devices, so when I click on those they don’t execute any action.

CONFIG

{
        "name": "Button Platform",
        "port": 3001,
        "buttons": [
            "ButtonTest"
        ],
        "platform": "button-platform"
    }

You will need a Home Hub for the buttons to work: this is documented in the README in bold: "This plugin requires a working home hub" which means you need either a HomePod, HomePod Mini, Apple TV or always-on iPad for the buttons to work.

I thought it would have worked with my Raspberry Pi HomeBridge.

Sorry about the confusion.

Unfortunately, Homebridge can't act as a Home Hub. It can only present virtual devices to HomeKit. I wish it could too!
