Authorise Issue

[evans-aiden]

Describe Your Problem: I'm attempting to Authorise in terminal to remove the error while fetching inputs (as seen in logs). Currently Home knows if the device is on or off but does not know what input is active. Whenever I try to authorise I get an error about importing main as seen below. I have installed the pip install hisensetv from the plugin thread with no change in error. Still relatively new to this.

Logs:

Hi @stads0 , thanks for opening this issue and using the plugin!

I have installed the pip install hisensetv

What do you mean with this? The hisensetv plugin is embedded in the Homebridge plugin (you can find it in the bin folder). You must use this version and not the original version, which is unfortunately incompatible with the Homebridge plugin.

Hi @MrAsterisco,

I got confused and installed the original. However the issue and the response I got in terminal was exactly the same before I did that and after.

When I copied the modified Hisensetv from the bin folder provided in this plugin, I got the error as in my above post.

Hopefully this makes sense
