[eWeLink] Server did not respond with an authentication token

[migabc]

Hi,

I'm getting these errors:

Any help is appreciated

hi, are you using a custom appid in the config?

[bwp91]

Also which version of the plugin are you using? I do not recognise some of the log text here from the current version of this plugin

[migabc]

No, I'm using the normal config

    "platforms": [
        {
            "platform": "eWeLink",
            "name": "eWeLink",
            "username": "xxx@xxxx.xxx",
            "password": "xxxxxxxxx",
            "countryCode": "xxx",
            "debug": "true",
            "disablePlugin": "false"
        },

I'm using homebridge-ewelink-sonoff https://github.com/bwp91/homebridge-ewelink/issues/129#issuecomment-723661138

[migabc]

It was working fine up to about a month ago

[migabc]

Maybe some thing changed server side

[bwp91]

Ahh I remember.

Yes the appId that this plugin uses needed to change and now the only plugin and version that works is homebridge-ewelink v10.0.0 or above.

eWeLink stopped the old appId working.

[migabc]

That's a bummer, because I cannot install that new version because I'm running HomeBridge version of 0.4.53 (homebridge-knx@0.3.27 cannot run on higher version)

[migabc]

I can install the homebridge-ewelink-max and it seems to register fine in homebridge

But these accessories are not responding in Homekit app

[bwp91]

The homebridge compatibility for the knx plugin shows as "homebridge": ">=0.4.28" which means homebridge v1.x will also be valid ?

[migabc]

Right, that's what it says on the repo page on homebridge-knx but it will not register on versions of homebridge higher than 0.4.53

[migabc]

I'm going to try to install the new version of homebridge-ewelink on another instance But first I need to remove the old sonoff accessories from the Homekit app - how can I do that?

[migabc]

since the homebridge-ewelink-sonoff stopped working I was not able to remove the accessories from the cache by using the disablePlugin flag in the config

But I managed to remove the stale ewelink accessories manually from the cachedAccessories file.

And now I have the latest plugin running on a another homebrige instance that does not have the knx dependency and it's working fine
