Volume control is gone since last update

[albi]

The quite useful volume control is gone since the last update today. Is it a bug?

That is really weird as the code I promoted yesterday was just a backend package version issue, and nothing to do with the devices created. Are you sure you were using this version? This version is optimized to have zones appear as light bulbs.

Yep volume control is gone. I did not change the settings, I've just restarted homebridge after the update. My settings are:

{ "platform": "yamaha-home", "play_volume": -30, "setMainInputTo": "Airplay", "show_input_name": "yes", "expected_devices": 2, "inputs_as_accessories": { "YamahaReceiver": { "1": { "name": "▶ TV", "setInputTo": "Optical", "set_default_volume": -30 }, "2": { "name": "▶ AirPlay", "setInputTo": "AirPlay", "set_default_volume": -30 } } }, "manual_addresses": { "Yamaha": "10.0.1.8" } },

The accessories are still switches not light bulbs right?

I even did a reboot of the Raspi. Still no volume control available :-(

@albi I'm a bit lost when it comes to a volume control, as I have been using it as a light bulb. But the older versions are still available. You can see the versions here

https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-yamaha-home/commits/master

And can install just by specifying the version as part of npm install ie

sudo npm install -g homebridge-yamaha-home@0.0.29

This is the previous version

Thanks for your reply. Going back to v0.0.29 or v0.0.30 does not work for me. I tried to "sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-yamaha-home@0.0.30" with or without --unsafe-perm it won't work.

The error looks like:

`npm ERR! code 128 npm ERR! Command failed: /usr/bin/git submodule update -q --init --recursive npm ERR! fatal: Could not change back to '/root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone-f49e0e84': Keine Berechtigung npm ERR!

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2019-02-21T08_15_55_056Z-debug.log `

The error "Keine Berechtigung" is no like "not allowed".

But the main problem still exists. The volume control was indeed a light bulb that I was able to force touch on my iOS devices to select the volume from 0% to 100%. This control is just gone. All other controls like switching to an input like optical or AirPlay still works.

Unfortunately I do not have a screenshot of the old light bulb volume control. :(

Actually I've managed to get back the light bulb control with the homebridge-yamaha_mc2 Plugin :)

0.0.31 also broke this plugin for me. Reinstall of 0.0.30 fixed the issue.

Not sure what is wrong, but I rolled back the latest commit 0.0.33 is just 0.0.30

I did some more digging, and one of the upstream packages has a bad version. I have opened a ticket with them to resolve.

This has been resolved with today's update
