Still running beta 4 in my production environment, and beta 7 only in a test environment. No issues on either, though.
You can always set advertiser
to bonjour
or ciao
, if avahi
doesn't work (in which case HomeKit won't be able to find Homebridge). Note that the new advertiser only works on systems with Avahi, like Raspberry Pi OS.
Great, thanks @ebaauw !
I am running Homebridge on a RPi 4b with the following OS version:
pi@homebridge:~ $ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="10" VERSION="10 (buster)" VERSION_CODENAME=buster ID=raspbian ID_LIKE=debian
I think it's the 32bit version.
Are there any additional packages what I have to install manually on my RPi via apt (eg. Avahi daemon or package) or is it enough to upgrade Homebridge to the beta?
I think the Avahi package is installed, even on the lite version, but I don't know if it's enabled by default.
Great, thank you. If you mean the enablement in Homebridge (and not on the OS level): it should be enabled by default if it is installed and not selected a dedicated advertiser I think.
Notes from Homebridge 1.4.0 b7 "Rely on hap-nodejs to select a default for the advertiser":
This PR removes the logic in homebridge to use a default advertiser. Instead it fully relies on hap-nodejs to select a default if no advertiser is supplied. Avahi advertiser will be automatically used on supported platforms.
I will give it a try, thanks! :)
Hi @ebaauw I only want to ask if Version 0.13.34 of Homebridge-Hue is safe for testing Homebridge 1.4.0 b7 or newer.
I read your comments about better response / faster updates when you are using Apple Home in combination with the new Avahi advertiser and I want to give it a try if possible.
Thanks!
