Add second instance.

[daaf84]

Hi,

I'v tried to add an second instance. I have the lights behind the tv (19444), but also AtmoOrb, on channel 19446.

How do I do this, if I try, it's not working. And the 19444 channel is responding really slow.

I did this:

"accessories": [
            {
           "accessory": "Hyperion",
           "autoupdate": "true",
           "name": "TV Backlight",
           "ambilightName": "TV Ambilight",
           "host": "192.168.1.10",
           "port": "19444"
            },
            {
            "accessory": "Hyperion",
            "name": "AtmoOrb",
            "host": "192.168.1.10",
            "port": "19446"
            }

holla,

are you sure the atmoOrb has the same JSON API as a Hyperion Ambilight?

is it working with atmoOrb only ? if no: is there an iOS app with which you can control the AtmoOrb? if yes: any errors from the log?

is the second device appearing on the homebridge?

regards tristan

AtmoOrb is an extension of Hyperion over WiFi by an ESP8266. The config is on the same raspberry and is forwarded to port 19446, local and then send as multicast over Wifi. If I use the hyperion app on iPhone, I can control them independently. So, the connection is right. It shows up in homebridge, but it won't connect. I also looks like all other things on homebridge are failing if I add this extra instance. But no errors in the log... So thats weird....

Is it working with the AtomOrb Accessory only?

[daaf84]

I've just tested it and it is working alone, so there is something about the placement of the code I think that is interfering. ..

Ok, I'v re the logfiles better... There is an issue, but I don't know how to solve it:

Hi Tristan,

Have you had time to look at the problem? Thanks, Dave
