new version hang homebridge

[bubez81]

Hello, it's me or the new version of the plugin completely hang homebridge?

[cbrandlehner]

Yes, for unknown reason. Appreciate any help improving the code.

I'm not seeing a hang (Homebridge keeps running), but it stops responding to HomeKit. I've had to remove the plugin for now just to get my home operational again.

If it helps for debugging purposes, I see a lot of sendGetRequest Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 192.168.178.23:80 errors as well as getTemperatureDisplayUnits: Temperature unit is undefined. 0=Celsius, 1=Fahrenheit. warnings.

I rolled back to v2019.26.2. While it does not support swing mode, it includes fan speed/temperature controls and is free of the homebridge device hang issue.

it's strange i can't see any relevant error in the logs...

After long debugging I found that the URLs called did NOT cause the problem. The problem seems to be that the Daikin wifi controller can not handle a large numer of http requests in a short time. As a workaround I implemented http rate throttling. There might still be issues though!

I do not like the actual implementation of the workaround, if somebody with dev know-how can improve the code, pobably by implementing promise instead of callback, I am very happy.

What support do you need? Point me to the related code, then i will have a look - but cannot promise anything.

Thank you @NeoLeonGithub I think I was able to solve the issue. After using native http requests first I tried several modules like "request" and finally found that "superagent" seems to work best.

Hi! For me the plugin works fine now (thx for your great work!!) but it still reacts slower than before (2019.26.2) I have a separate instance of homebridge for it to keep the speed of the other plugins Thx for keeping it updated!

[beatpaul]

... after using the plugin during these hot days in Austria :) I had several problems since the plugin didn‘t react propperly I m using the plugin with 3 Accessoires @cbrandlehner will there be another update regarding this problem?

Im not a programmer, but If u need further information or feedback please just let me know

Thx for your work!

[cbrandlehner]

@beatpaul I did multiple tests and found that a minimum of 500ms between the HTTP requests is still stable on my controllers. The code you are currently working with is configured for 1000ms. I am going to publish a new version today with 500ms.

[beatpaul]

Thx for your effort! I will report here!

Hi!

So I tested the new Version and in general all the functions were working But still Version 2019.26.x was much faster. In more detail: When i open the iOs Home App (in the local Wifi) it takes about 15 seconds to update ("Aktualisieren") the AC & Fan Buttons until they can be used, after that everything works fine and fast. I run the Plugin on a Mac in its own instance not to slow down other plugins.

No Problem with other Plugins so far.

Tell me if u need any furhter info,

This is working as designed now. There is no easy way to implement http call caching.

it's me or since I updated the plugin, I can't use siri with the word "thermostat" as before ("Turn on thermostat, set thermostat to Xº…)

Also when changing mode (set mode to cold,heat...) from Siri, it says that the unit doesn't support such functionality.

So weird.

Maybe the service names have changed or something? it's weird, it has been working nicely since yesterday that updated to the last version.

And yep, much slower than previous versions.

@greensouth please open a new bug reports if you can reproduce this. I am closing this thread as the initial issue reported here, is fixed.
