HB Status no longer receiving device info

[c-chaskel]

Hi,

Correction: HB Event not HB Update.

The "HB Event" node is no longer receiving updates when the device status changes. Debug window stays blank through all device controls.

This seems to have started a few days ago - so possibly related to one of the recent homebridge updates?

Regards

What have you recently changed ?

Am wondering if the binding between homebridge and node-red went out of wack with the upgrade.

I would suggest trying this

Update homebridge

Restart node-red, then in the broken ub-status select the device again. This will reset the pointers.

Restarting node-red flushes the pointer cache

Updated homebridge, otherwise nothing!

No luck. I set up another Pi with NodeRed but it has the same issue. All works except for HB Event. :(

so I assume the error is on the homebridge side?

Hummm

could you extract an accessory dump from the homebridge instance with the wacky device?

details are here

Sure! Right now it's running as a child bridge, but I also tried other devices that were not in child bridges with the same result.

My initial suspicion is that the 'uniqueId' was not generating as unique with your setup, but that is working ok

Can you share a log from the start of node-red and recreate the issue?

It should look like this

Huh - without changing anything, it suddenly started working again.

I guess we don't need to dig deeper! Thank you!
