Thermostat status update fails with error

[silentcossack]

Hi. I have a thermostat added in homebridge (zwave thermostat in Homeseer, added to homebridge with homeseer plugin), which shows up and works well in HomeKit. It was discovered by Alexa, but when i click on in in Alexa app, alexa homebridge plugin starts spitting out the error bellow (it repeats).

This is running on ubuntu server 16.04 with following:

node v12.13.1 homebridge@0.4.50 homebridge-alexa@0.4.43 homebridge-camera-ffmpeg@0.1.14 homebridge-homeseer-plugin-2018@2.3.25 npm@6.13.1

This is the error with debug on:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ask Alexa to discovery devices, then try again

If that fails, please share a homebridge accessory dump

Thanks for replying. I deleted the thermostat from Alexa and discovered devices again (from Alexa app on iPhone - let me know if this needs to be done with voice echo dot or something). Same thing, thermostat is discovered but when i click on it, says unresponsive an error above is repeated. I added accessory dump last night, see first post - i only pasted the thermostat entries, let me know if you need the entire dump.

[NorthernMan54]

I need the whole dump, as I use the parser to generate the alexa discovery response and want to see what it says

[silentcossack]

Here you go, attached. (removed)

[NorthernMan54]

After running that thru the parser, the issue is with the description field in the thermostat accessory. The description field does not match a normal homebridge thermostat

Let me think a bit about how to resolve this

@silentcossack after discussing with the home seer plugin dev he made a change that should resolve this. If you could update the homeseer plugin, and discover devices you should be good.

Alternatively he suggested to update to his improved homeseer plugin, homebridge-homeseer4

@jvmahon thanks for resolving this, much appreciated

[silentcossack]

@NorthernMan54 thank you so much for following up on this. I really appreciate the attention to this issue and the follow up with @jvmahon. I have since moved to a new thermostat, ecobee and don't have my zwave one anymore. So I will not be able to confirm this fix. I'm also in the process of moving all my home automation to openHAB, and won't be using the homeseer plugin. Really sucks that I can't confirm the fix, but i'm sure others will appreciate having this resolved. Thanks again!

[NorthernMan54]

Tks for the update
