[16/09/2024, 19:19:31] Loading 3 platforms...
[16/09/2024, 19:19:31] No plugin was found for the platform "HomebridgeWiiUPlugin" in your config.json. Please make sure the corresponding plugin is installed correctly.

JSON config file:

{
    "ip": "Wii U IP:8572",
    "name": "Wii U",
    "platform": "HomebridgeWiiUPlugin"
}

Wii U IP is replaced with an actual IP-Address

Environment:

• Plugin Version: 1.0.0
• Homebridge Version: v1.8.4 (HAP v0.12.2)
• Node.js Version: 20.17.0
• NPM Version: Is this relevant to the error and if so, where can I find it?
• Device: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
• Operating System: Raspbian 64 Lite

JSON needs to be formatted in a way that has proper indentation. For example, this is a part of my testing config.json:

        {
            "ip": "192.168.1.195:8572",
            "platform": "HomebridgeWiiUPlugin"
        },

Notice how there are indentations. Your config file needs that too.

My file actually had the indentations in it but I messed up something when formatting (that way the log is from 19 o'clock). I also tried yours

        {
            "ip": "Wii U IP:8572",
           "platform": "HomebridgeWiiUPlugin"
        },

Wii U IP is replaced with an actual IP-Address

and I got the same error.

[ItzSwirlz]

Just share your config file (omit or put in foo for parts that are actually needing to be kept secret like API keys). The Wii U IP address is local, only people on your network can access it. There's no harm in sharing it.

Here is the config.json of the homebridge instance I use for testing:

{
    "bridge": {
        "name": "Homebridge ABC3",
        "username": "0E:49:81:3A:AB:CB",
        "port": 51070,
        "pin": "318-08-913",
        "advertiser": "bonjour-hap"
    },
    "accessories": [],
    "platforms": [
        {
            "name": "Config",

        },
