Roomba lights always on during stand-by #18

Closed andreinanu closed 3 years ago

andreinanu commented 3 years ago

Expected Behavior

Roomba lights to stay off during stand-by/charging, as normal (maybe light up only when opening the Home app?).

Current Behavior

Roomba lights always on if "AutoRefresh" and/or "KeepAlive" are enabled. If both of the options are disabled, Roomba shows as Not Responding in Home app, along with all other homebridge accessories.

Versions

Configuration

Current config, masking bild, pwd and IP:

        {

            "blid": "XXXXX",
            "robotpwd": "XXXXX",
            "ipaddress": "XXXXX",
            "autoRefreshEnabled": false,

Not seeing this behavior. Roomba status is reflecting as expected. Roomba model is an s9 with slightly different config. FYI... Version of HB UI is -most current production version and Node.js v12.16.3.

        "name": "Rosie",
        "model": "s9",
        "blid": "xxxx",
        "robotpwd": "xxxx",
        "ipaddress": "xxxx",
        "dockContactSensor": true,
        "binContactSensor": true,
        "cacheTTL": 30,
        "accessory": "Roomba2"

I've managed to work around it: I've enabled AutoRefresh and set TTL Cache to 1800. Now all HB devices are refreshing normally, and the Roomba only lights up every 30 mins and stays on for 1 min, then turns off. I believe it's a good option, so I'm closing the issue.
