Can't find homebridge #101

Open mazzarin opened 2 years ago

mazzarin commented 2 years ago

I'm having trouble setting up this plug-in. The error I receive is as follows: 2/12/2022, 11:01:05 PMnode: d503c33b6a02dd0a msg : string[22] "437:Can't find device "

This plugin is running alongside node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket, which appears to be working fine.

I've restarted Node-red and homebridge, in case that caused an issue.

Structurally, it's set up like this: Raspberry Pi running Raspbian

I inputted the homekit code shown on the homebridge dashboard into the PIN field for the status component.

I've gone through the instructions a couple of times. My remaining thought is because the NodeRed docker is on the Docker bridge network, it's not seeing homebridge. The HA plugin I was able to specify the IP address which may have helped.

Any advice on where to look?

If it can find homebridge, you should have the device drop down populated with your devices. If not its likely a docker issue or ???

I ran into this issue, too - I could not see any devices populated in the dropdown. Also running Node-Red on Docker.

Setting the Node-Red container's network_mode to host upon creation solved this for me. To do this, I added --network host to the docker run ... command. Thanks to this comment https://github.com/NorthernMan54/node-red-contrib-homebridge-automation/issues/54#issuecomment-786940869
