can’t get status light on or off at homekit #674

derflerd commented 7 months ago

I have a problem updating the light switches. Works correctly when I turn on / off the light in the Home App on iOS or in the plugin accessories at homebridge-ui-x. However, it does not work as I turn it off I turn off the light with a physical switch on the wall, can’t get status that update on the homekit

i have zbmini L2. it work great with zigbee2mqtt but i want to work with mqttthing because i get change from switch to light.

this is the code i make:

{ "type": "lightbulb", "name": "תאורת כניסה", "logMqtt": true, "topics": { "getOn": { "topic": "zigbee2mqtt/0x3c2ef5fffeba1064", "apply": "return JSON.parse(message).state" }, "setOn": { "topic": "zigbee2mqtt/0x3c2ef5fffeba1064/set" } }, "onValue": "ON", "offValue": "OFF", "accessory": "mqttthing" }, {

I think I'm having the same problem. It is as if state changes aren't being forwarded to HomeKit, but state changes from HomeKit are being forwarded to other mqtt clients. My "device" has all the lights in the house (~60) and HomeKit generally shows the wrong state, but you can turn them on/off and then it is correct (until they are controlled via something other than HomeKit).
