Having an issue with Homebridge-cbus not connecting to C-Gate correctly, dump of issue below.

Looks like Homebridge is receiving an unexpected message. anyone have any ideas? os direction I can start looking

Thanks.

@Nivin37 Could you mention the hardware eg where are you running CGate? Where are you running Homebridge?

From your message I can see CGate is running. Is your project xml in the tag folder? Did you set project.default and project.start in the CGate config file?

[DarylMc]

I think Mosquitto in front of CGate version looks out of place.

Finally got back to this little project... I still have a C-Bus access issue for Homebridge. Below is a dump I get.

and here is what C-Gate is reporting in the log...

20181118-104505 804 cmd33 - Host:/192.168.1.109 closed command interface from port: 37820 20181118-104507 999 sys Socket accepted. 20181118-104507 803 cmd35 - Host:/192.168.1.109 opened command interface from port: 37822 20181118-104507 899 sys Debug: New Command Context: cc044 = AccessContext Session /192.168.1.109#36 20181118-104507 766 cmd35 - Response: 201 Service ready: Debian C-Gate Version: v2.11.1 (build 3240) #cmd-syntax=1.0

Also to answer the question from above the "Debian C-Gate" is just the name I gave C-Gate in its config file when I built C-Gate.

C-Gate is working and I can control lights via openHAB.

Question: is there an issue with the C-Gate version? V2.11.1

TO me it looks to be failing at the last line,

cbus:client C-Gate session not ready...

As this is a Homebridge response anyone have any idea how I can fault find this issue???

Thanks,

Steve.

Change the name you have given to C-Gate back to 'Clipsal'. https://github.com/anthonywebb/homebridge-cbus/blob/10a68cf1d3ae6fd48dfeae6abc8d35bd610cbc03/lib/cgate-client.js#L178

Thanks Phil, I had just changed it back and found it working. Was working on my config file before updating this ticket. Steve
