New firmware update has broken plugin! #8

Open coltonshipley opened 7 years ago

coltonshipley commented 7 years ago

A new firmware dropped for the original switchmates. The new firmware is 2.99.99 and it seems that node-switchmate no longer works properly. I can't find any devices with the ./discover.switchmate command. I've ran with sudo and without.

This also breaks compatibility with homebridge.

Hopefully this is an easy fix and can be fixed soon.

Thanks!

Yes, same problem here, switchmate was part of my whole smart home setup to control some of the lights in addition to many other things, but this firmware update broke everything.

When the old version was working I had an awesome setup with my own raspberry pi server that controls many other devices etc. simultaneously, and that controlled the switchmate switch via bluetooth, and I could communicate to the raspberry pi via my google home and IFTT, so It was as simple as "Ok google, lights on" and everything was good to go. So I would love to get this up and running as soon as possible, and will try to help as much as I can myself. Also the new app claims to support google assistant but even that is broken :(

I'm on 2.99.15 for Switchmate firmware / Mac OS X 10.12.6, and I can confirm that discovery is non-responsive. Just bought it -- never synced before. I hope that this is repaired sometime soon.

I've written up some details about the new firmware in my repo, if anyone wants to dive deeper into fixing this: https://github.com/brianpeiris/switchmate/issues/6#issuecomment-338525059

I figured how to downgrade the Switchmate firmware. It should be helpful for people who have this issue. Check here: switchmate-firmwares.
