Error When Tapping Accessory In Home

[lswee]

Everything is running, but when I tap it in Home I get the following:

[6/7/2018, 8:44:29 PM] Homebridge is running on port 51826. /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-tuya-outlet/node_modules/tuyapi/index.js:171 const thisData = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(requests[currentDevice.type].status.command)); ^

TypeError: this is not a typed array. at Function.from (native) at TuyaDevice.resolveIds.TuyaDevice.get.Promise [as get] (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-tuya-outlet/node_modules/tuyapi/index.js:171:27) at TuyaOutlet._setOn.TuyaOutlet._get.callback.tuya.get.then [as _get] (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-tuya-outlet/index.js:39:13) at emitThree (events.js:97:13) at emit (events.js:175:7) at Characteristic.getValue (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/hap-nodejs/lib/Characteristic.js:163:10) at Bridge.

I'm also unsure as to which IP address to use, as I can see a local one if I search for devices using my router then match up the MAC. But within Tuya there is a different external IP address.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel so close to getting it working!

Weird error. Does it work if you use tuyapi directly? You should be passing in the local IP of the device, not your network's public IP.

[lswee]

I mean to say that according to my router the plug is at 192.168.0.41

Within the Device Info in the TuyaSmart app it has an IP beginning with 82.

Any idea why that would be?

How can I test it directly?

[codetheweb]

Yes, the Tuya app only lists the external IP - not the internal/local IP that you need. 192.168.0.41 is the IP that you need to use.

Test it directly by

1. Install tuyapi globally: npm i tuyapi -g
2. Create a test script:

   
   const TuyaDevice = require('tuyapi');

let tuya = new TuyaDevice({ id: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', key: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', ip: '192.168.0.41'});

tuya.get().then(status => { console.log('Status: ' + status);

tuya.set({set: !status}).then(result => { console.log('Result of setting status to ' + !status + ': ' + result);

tuya.get().then(status => {
  console.log('New status: ' + status);
  return;
});

}); });

If it doesn't work, re-run with `DEBUG=* node script.js` and post the results.

Thanks, I'll use that one then.

Perhaps I need to update node/npm?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ node script.js /home/pi/script.js:3 let tuya = new TuyaDevice({ ^^^

UPDATE: Yeah, it's an issue with my Pi and npm, investigating...

[codetheweb]

Yeah, your Node version is way out of date 😅. Upgrade to at least v8.0.0.

[lswee]

How silly! Well that script is working now, probably need to re-install homebridge properly...

[codetheweb]

👍

[lswee]

All working. Three devices without a problem.

I started from scratch and found a version of node and npm which worked: curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt install -y nodejs

Funnily enough, the one thing that's still not working is the test script from above (which did work before I re-did everything), but I daren't change anything now and tempt fate!

[codetheweb]

Huh, strange. node -v reports v8?

[lswee]

Hm, yeah…

$ node -v v8.11.2
