Cannot get notification to fire

[BenWoodford]

I'm posting to the port and it HTTP 200s all fine and well, but I don't appear to be getting any notifications from it on my phone.

Should the doorbell only show as a single device (a camera) or should there be a second device for the actual doorbell and the camera is a secondary accessory?

[Samfox2]

Hi. It should appear as a single device. If it‘s not working please try another port, maybe it‘s already in use.

[BenWoodford]

The port is fine, I can see the web server output. Just don’t get any notifications when I trigger it for some reason

[BenWoodford]

It's worth mentioning that I don't have a notifications option on the camera that is exposed by this. For motion sensors there's a notifications setting on the accessory that I need to set. That isn't present here.

Could that be related? I don't have a homekit-compatible doorbell to use as a control test.

[Samfox2]

No, that‘s ok. Have you tried to sign out and sign in to your icloud account?

[BenWoodford]

I'll give it a go. I'll try running homebridge in debug mode too, maybe it'll give some info on what's going wrong.

[BenWoodford]

Nope, nothing. Unless perhaps my homebridge install is out of date...

Nope. Updated and still doesn't notify. It's not location sensitive or anything is it?

[Samfox2]

hmm, what does debug output say?

[BenWoodford]

Not much, just shows the "Ding dong!" message

[Samfox2]

8 Maybe this solves your problem too...

[BenWoodford]

Oh the camera portion works, it's the notification portion that doesn't.

[Samfox2]

Maybe this helps

[BenWoodford]

I've already tried all of that unfortunately. Deleting it, restarting, update, etc. Nothing seems to stick.

Are you running the latest iOS version?

[Samfox2]

Yes

[BenWoodford]

A thought: could it be the RTSP stream I’m using isn’t liked by HomeKit?

[Samfox2]

If you can see a picture/stream at the camera in your home app this should not csuse any issues.

[Samfox2]

Could you try the updated version? Does at least the button trigger work?

[BenWoodford]

Nope, updated homebridge and the plugin, nothing has changed. I still just have one camera device, no other buttons anywhere.

Going to update my phone as it’s a few minor versions out.

Could you take some screenshots of what everything is meant to look like?

I don‘t think the issue is with this plugin. Make sure you didn‘t disable messages for the Home app on your Phone (general iPhone settings). To display the button samfox2 is talking about change the config file, see README.

[BenWoodford]

Ahah, seems to be working now! Not sure what change fixed it, but it’s working via button and URL. :)

[normen]

As said probably something on your side, none of the changes could have affected this in any way.

[Samfox2]

Great, working after months... :-) Closing this issue now - finally.
