Frequently Re-Add Accessory #15

Open rcoletti116 opened 4 years ago

rcoletti116 commented 4 years ago

I don't have any logs to correspond with a particular problem, but sometimes the device just says "No Response" and then needs to be re-added in HomeKit. It's the only way I've found to get it working again and its immediately discoverable. Perhaps something is changing in the device state where it needs to be discovered again.

hi @rcoletti116 I figured i would join in and say i have this issue as well.

it seems every once in a while, the device becomes unresponsive requiring a readd. i am on the iOS 14 beta, but it seems to also effect my 13 devices as well.

what i have tried to eliminate the problem is the following

giving the TV a Static IP placing the TV on its OWN network uninstalling, and reinstalling the plugin using the Homebridge Beta and main release builds

let me know if you find a solution. for now, i am going to go back to Homebridge-Roku untill this gets fixed :)

I've been having the same issue, for a while now, where my device (TCL Roku TV) becomes unresponsive ("No Response").

Up until today, restarting homebridge once or a couple times would resolve the issue. Though, I'd have to do that daily... which is not ideal. However, as of today, restarting homebridge no longer resolves the issue... the device remains unresponsive in the Home app.

Is this plugin still being supported?

LordZork commented 4 years ago

This was one of my favorite plugins, when it was working.

I started over with a fresh Homebridge install, re-added plugins, re-added Homebride to my HomeKit Home app, and – initially – this plugin was working again. However, I eventually had to constantly restart Homebridge again, every time the device (Roku TV) would show as "unresponsive."

Will this plugin be fixed/updated? Is it even still being supported?

Does anyone know of an alternative plugin that – at the very least – works well (and consistently) for turning a Roku TV on/off?

rcoletti116 commented 4 years ago

I've gone back to homebridge-roku. That plugin has advanced and has the remote capability now as well, more in line with HomeKit TVs.

@rcoletti116 Thank you, I installed homebridge-roku and it was easy to setup. However, I have one issue I am experiencing...

It was pulled into HomeKit/Home app using a home icon instead of a TV. The homebridge-roku-tv plugin pulled it in using the TV icon. Any ideas for fixing this?

rcoletti116 commented 4 years ago

It’s a known issue among a lot of tv plug-ins that was introduced with iOS 14. TVs have to be classified as external rather than bridged to use the TV icons. I don’t know if the developer will address it but there is an open issue for it.
