Dash button not showing up as supported in iOS 10 Home #10

Closed pewtertankard closed 7 years ago

pewtertankard commented 7 years ago

Hi there. I've configured homebridge-amazondash as you suggested, put the correct MAC address into the config.json file.

Am running this on a FreeBSD jail by the way, hence slight differences. However, running bin/findbutton as per instructions shows button presses OK.

Homebridge, on loading merely says "Initializing AmazonDash platform..." but then doesn't say what it's looking for (and I never see anything in the log when I do press the button).

The accessory shows up in iOS 10 Home but it says "Not supported". It's obviously in the configuration but I don't know if it's being reported correctly. Any suggestions you can offer would be welcomed. Thanks.

UPDATE : This does work if I use a configuration app like Home from selfcoded.com as "Triggers". However, I can't then amend those same "Automations" in iOS 10's native Home app as the Dash button isn't a supported accessory.

U can use apps like Hesperus so set up the Dash Button

As you'll see from my update, yes I've done this but the button is still showing up as not supported in iOS 10 Home and I need to be careful not to touch anything now under iOS 10 Home "Automations" to avoid screwing up the triggers I set up using third party tools. My issue is still open as I don't know if this is expected behaviour and, if so, shouldn't it be listed in the README to avoid future confusion. Thanks

I have the same issue in iOS 10 Home application as @pewtertankard - buttons appear on the app, but are shown as unsupported and can't be used for Automations. I also have these messages from node_pcap coming quite often in homebridge logs: "node_pcap: EthernetFrame() - Don't know how to decode ethertype 34969"

I wonder if buttons are implemented as accessories, why do I have this message during startup: Dec 08 21:53:35 homenas homebridge[22004]: [12/8/2016, 9:53:35 PM] Initializing AmazonDash platform... Dec 08 21:53:35 homenas homebridge[22004]: [12/8/2016, 9:53:35 PM] Loading 0 accessories...

And I double checked mac addresses in config.json. How can I help in looking into it?

As of iOS 10.2, Apple's Home app still don't support programable switch. Please use third party HomeKit app like Home or Hesperus to setup automation.

Thanks for the clarification that this is an Apple issue
