smtp-motion causes crash of homebridge #156

Closed macminihomebridge closed 2 years ago

macminihomebridge commented 2 years ago

Hi guys!

I'm running homebridge on a MacMini (late 2012) with only 2 Plugins:

  1. homebridge-camera-ffmpeg (running fine since 2 years)
  2. homebridge-smtp-motion (since some month)

All version are latest minus 1...

Since installing and using "smtp-motion" my 2 cameras are randomly "not reachable". I'll take a look into the logs, but I guess there was nothing to see. I suspect, when emails from the cams coming at "high" frequency... but I think that the frequency is not too high or like Spam. I would say after frequency raise up to round about 10 mails per minute.

edit: todays evening I'll deliver precise version numbers

Greetz!

Update

My info that "homebrigde crashes" isn't correct. Only the (two) cams are not reachable in the Home App. Right before the cams turn to "not reachable", (in this case) 11 Mails in 6 minutes were received (log file, no other messages). Parallel the cams itself running fine, reachable via LAN-access. In my opinion, every time this happens, "some more" Mails were received right before. Without smtp-motion the cams running fine over weeks/month.

Is there any "frequent back channel" to HomeKit that causes that the cams are "dropped" from Homekit?

edit again to be precise: I'm running also a eufy indoor cam (nativ HK). This cam also throws several Notifications in short time? So I think that can't be a "too much notification error" that cause the drop of the cams.

I also forget to say that this cams are not supporting HomeKit. ;)

Homebridge v 1.4.1 homebridge-config-ui-x v4.50.1 homebridge-smtp-motion v1.2.1 homebridge-camera-ffmpeg v3.1.3

That's my current installation on the macmini. I tested some version arround, but thought that's the best. Now it crashes in this config like other combination of version (e.g. all on latest).
