@RyderCragie can you try taking out colons out of your deviceId? so instead of "E8:DB:84:E1:C4:BA" change to this "E8DB84E1C4BA"

[RyderCragie]

Just tried that. The issue still persists. I've also tried reinstalling the plugin.

[donavanbecker]

Please repost config

[RyderCragie]

It's the same but with the colons removed.

[HolgerAusB]

Did you activate the cloud service for the Bot device in your iPhone App? OK, the error log shows something different - just to get shure.

[RyderCragie]

Yes, it is turned on. Hence why it works at all.

[RyderCragie]

Moved to a new machine. This particular problem is now solved. With that comes another 3.
