Please attach your homebridge configuration file

If I remove the your plugin homebridge works fine

[alessiodionisi]

We need to change homebridge-lgtv2 characteristics UUID to some other random strings ;) I'll do a quick update

[alessiodionisi]

Please, update and try the new version

[m11rphy]

I have unintalled the plugin, so do I just reinstall the plugin ?

[toshibochan]

@m11rphy now everyone have you email and password. Better change your password.

[alessiodionisi]

@m11rphy yes simple reinstall

[m11rphy]

Thanks, I'll try this when I get home

[m11rphy]

Still not working, homebdige ran on my Mac but all accessories say no reponse, I remove home bridge from the home app then I couldn't re add it. Remove the LG plugin and home bridge worked again

[m11rphy]

@alessiodionisi any ideas budy ? I need to get my home kit set up back running

[amitgandhinz]

im running into a similar issue after just updating all my homebridge plugins. I tried removing the LGTv2 plugin but that hasnt resolved the issue so I think it could be something else. Im still investigating and will post what i find here.

Interestingly, watching the homebridge logs, no errors are logged, and it looks like it periodically does stuff, but just cant communicate with the Homekit apps.

[m11rphy]

@alessiodionisi buddy any ideas ?

[alessiodionisi]

@m11rphy update to the latest version please

[m11rphy]

Just tried buddy when I can't add homebridge to home now

[m11rphy]

I'm formatting my mac and starting fresh

[alessiodionisi]

@m11rphy Don't format your mac! Delete the .homebridge folder in the user home

[m11rphy]

To late it's nearly done lol will report back

[m11rphy]

Ok homebdidge is working again, I can turn my lg to on and off again now. Don't have any options to change channel or volume in elgato tho

[gerritgutzeit]

The Volume Control and other features are temporary disabled.

[m11rphy]

Thanks @gerritgutzeit

@alessiodionisi everything is back up running now, many thanks for helping me get this back working
