Using this with homebridge-broadlink-rm #23

Hi there,

I'm not sure if this is a problem with my setup or your plugin but i'm having some problems with it controlling homebridge accessories that are created using homebridge-broadlink-rm plugin by @lprhodes. Using siri to turn the tv (for example) on and off seems to work fine but when I used alexa (via your plugin) it sometimes doesn't work. It says it's turned it on, and the homekit app says it's on but the physical tv isn't on.

I do have an HDHomerun connect on the network as well but not sure if that would hinder anything.

Can you enable DEBUG logging and share the log when you ask Alexa to discover devices, and when you attempt to control the problematic devices.

Tks

Thanks for the reply @NorthernMan54 I've got the logs. How do I send them to you?

I turned the TV on and off a few times using only alexa. The first couple worked as expected then the last few didn't work properly.

If you look at the bottom of the text entry box for entering issues, it has an option for attaching

@NorthernMan54 I should of been more specific - is there anyway to send them to you directly without making the logs public?

As an alternate you can send them to my gmail.com account northern.man1
