Hi @currybeast

Can you put the plugin in debug mode from the plugin settings, restart, then wait for the plugin to load.

Then trigger the motion sensor, and show me all logs that appear in the homebridge log?

currybeast commented 2 years ago

Many thanks for responding so quickly, but I turned on logging on and performed the detection, but I cant find the log file anywhere??!! Any clues? Really sorry to waste your time.

bwp91 commented 2 years ago

Log file is normally located at /var/lib/homebridge/homebridge.log.

homebridge.log config.txt

bwp91 commented 2 years ago

From the logs there is no “notification” from ewelink that the sensor was activated, so this why the plugin isn’t marking it as activated.

Could you try again?

Are you using the same credentials in the plugin config as the account that the rf bridge is added to? ie not a shared device?

currybeast commented 2 years ago

Thanks again, just checked it all, yes I operate 2 accounts as recommended as they get logged out. So I have a primary account on the app on my phone, then all accessories are shared to a second account that is dedicated to Homebridge. All accessories work ok, except the PIR on the RF Bridge, but the PIR shows shows up in Homebridge ok via the secondary account, but never triggers. I suppose the debug is not showing as its not signalling at all.

bwp91 commented 2 years ago

You should try configuring the plugin with your main ewelink account credentials.

I personally have never recommended using a “shared” account.

It doesn’t log you out of the ewelink app.

currybeast commented 2 years ago

Many thanks again. I have changed Homebridge over to the primary account now. Not sure where I read to do the sharing, but I do remember that when logging into the ewelink app concurrently on multiple devices, it used to log you out of the other. But does not seem to do it now. I have removed the RF bridge and PIR and re-added in the ewelink app and its the same. They show up ok in Home app, red light flashes on RF Bridge when PIR is triggered, but no trigger in Homebridge. There is no evidence of the PIR activity in the log either other than startup device detection, looks the same as before. Have I not done something in the ewelink app? Is there anything to configure in there first after adding the devices?

bwp91 commented 2 years ago

Do you have the plugin set to any mode like auto or cloud or local?

currybeast commented 2 years ago

It's in Hybrid [Recommended] mode

bwp91 commented 2 years ago

Any luck at all with incoming notifications the last few days? Sorry i’ve been busy and not really had a chance to look into this.

Happy new year!
