Accessory Name is undefined

[fblazevski]

Hi, so I installed the plugin as per instructions and configured the config file as follows (after troubleshooting it's exactly as the readme):

{
    "platform" : "DACP",
    "devices" : [
        {
            "name" : "New Remote Control"
        }
    ]
}

I get the following error now (I tried adding a name under the "platform" as it seems plugins should have a "name" but that didn't fix it. Any ideas? The error seems to do with the variable this._accessories Maybe it's not reading the name? (Line 146:5)

Sorry that's a bug. I'll fix that with 0.7.3 tonight.

[grover]

I just published 0.7.3, which should fix this issue.

Awesome it works now 👍

Tried the pairing process but homebridge always crashes:

Also without adding the pairing part to the config, the DACP-plugin won't load:

[grover]

Which node version are you on? Both issues are related and likely due to an old node version.

[badrabbit]

8.9.3

[grover]

That should be good enough. Could you post the configuration? (Strip private data out of it please.)

Which version of the plugin do you have installed?

[badrabbit]

homebridge-dacp 0.7.4

{ "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge", "username": "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX", "port": 51826, "pin": "XXX-XX-XXX", "manufacturer": "@nfarina", "model": "Homebridge", "serialNumber": "0.4.20" }, "description": "This is an example configuration file with one fake accessory and one fake platform.

] }

[grover]

Hmm. This is curious - the same configuration works for me. I'm using:

• Node 8.3.0
• Homebridge 0.4.33
• homebridge-dacp 0.7.4

Do you maybe have multiple node versions installed? A different homebridge version?

[badrabbit]

Yap. That's it! Deleted and uninstalled all node stuff and reinstalled node and Homebridge. No more errors and the initial pairing process is up and running. Thanks for the help! :-)
