There seems to be a fair bit of assumptions of knowledge in the documentation and I'm getting an error.

How do I get the robot in the right mood to get this password? What does this series of logs mean and how do I remedy it? I'm running this from the Dockerized homebridge is that causing the issue? I have it in relatively default conditions why is this not working?

[Leopere]

I do really appreciate the plugin but it just seems to be missing a lot of information. I'm really looking forward to degoogling my way completely and moving to an IOT option that doesn't necessarily require google servers all over my network.

[Ant-V]

You do not seem to be in the node_modules folder, and thus you cannot run the getrobotpwd command.

To find your actual node modules dir run: npm root -g in my case the result is: /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules so I have to: cd /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/homebridge-roomba2 to run getrobotpwd

All that is implied by the simple line:

CD into where your plugins are installed. On a Pi it is: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-roomba2

Yes, the documentation requires more than a bit of assumptions, but still, it's the best homebridge plugin for Roombas AFAIK...

[matharris7]

I'm having this issue to. When ever I CD into /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-roomba2 or /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-roomba2, I get an error saying so such directory exists.
I'm running a HOOBS system Version 4.0.100 Node 14.17.6 Homebridge Version 1.3.4

Is the homebridge-roomba2 in a different location?

[karlvr]

@matharris7 I've just updated the README on the way to improving these instructions. I wonder if cd $(npm root -g)/homebridge-roomba2 would work for you. I'm not sure what the usual directory is on HOOBS. Let's see if that works. If not, we'll work out another way to find out where it lives! The plugin is definitely installed right? As a next step, please post a listing of the contents of /usr/lib/node_modules and /usr/local/lib/node_modules.

[matharris7]

Yes I have it installed.

I am getting a "No such directory error" when I put in cd $(npm root -g)/homebridge-roomba2

Here is what I have listed under the 2 areas you requested:

hoobs@hoobs: /usr/lib/node_modules $ ls -l total 4 drwxr-xr-x 9 root 4096 Sep 3 12:17 npm

hoobs@hoobs: /usr/local/lib/node_modules $ ls -l total 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 8 14:35 @hoobs

Hope this helps

[karlvr]

@matharris7 OK, I've done a quick search and I think perhaps the plugins are installed in ~/.hoobs/node_modules/... could you please show us the result of:

ls -l ~/.hoobs/node_modules/

[matharris7]

Here is what get listed with ls -l ~/.hoobs/node_modules/

[karlvr]

@matharris7 thanks for that. OK, that looked promising but no homebridge-roomba2 in there... I'm sorry I don't use hoobs, so I think you're going to need to do a bit of a search!

Here are a few more things to try and paste the output of:

pwd
whoami

And then, this will find it but might take a while:

find / -name homebridge-roomba2

[matharris7]

Ok. hoobs@hoobs:~ $ pwd whoami /home/hoobs

when I run the find / -name homebridge-roomba2, I get a tonne of stuff like this saying Permission denied (this is just a bit of all the errors that show up) find: ‘/proc/18656/fd’: Permission denied find: ‘/proc/18656/map_files’: Permission denied find: ‘/proc/18656/fdinfo’: Permission denied find: ‘/proc/18656/ns’: Permission denied find: ‘/proc/32709/task/32709/fd’: Permission denied find: ‘/proc/32709/task/32709/fdinfo’: Permission denied find: ‘/proc/32709/task/32709/ns’: Permission denied find: ‘/proc/32709/fd’: Permission denied find: ‘/proc/32709/map_files’: Permission denied find: ‘/proc/32709/fdinfo’: Permission denied find: ‘/proc/32709/ns’: Permission denied

Thanks for your help. I'll just keep searching

[karlvr]

@matharris7 Ah yeah, there will be errors... let it keep running and it will find it if it's there

[Sakujakira]

@matharris7 Ah yeah, there will be errors... let it keep running and it will find it if it's there

Hey, i think i`ve got the same error. Maybe my Infos can be of use. Pretty default Hoobs installation:

hoobs@hoobs:~ $ npm root -g
/usr/lib/node_modules

And:

hoobs@hoobs:~ $ find / -type d -name homebridge-roomba2 2>/dev/null
/usr/local/share/.cache/yarn/v6/npm-homebridge-roomba2-1.2.2-20d857384cc8aa25a649f19a66046cc2f25bc718-integrity/node_modules/homebridge-roomba2
/var/lib/hoobs/roomba2bridge/node_modules/homebridge-roomba2

[karlvr]

@Sakujakira thank you! That last line is where the plugin is installed. You can cd to that directory and then continue the setup steps.

Do you know what roomba2bridge means? Did you create a separate bridge device to contain the plugin? Or is that something Hoobs automatically does?

[matharris7]

Ok so the last line from @Sakujakira helped but mine is: /var/lib/hoobs/hoobs/node_modules/dorita980/bin

but the command in there isn't "getrobotpwd" it is "getpassword".

When I run the command: sudo npm run getpassword I get the instructions to initiate the setup procedure but then get error

dorita980@3.1.9 getpassword /var/lib/hoobs/hoobs/node_modules/dorita980 node ./bin/getpassword.js ""

Make sure your robot is on the Home Base and powered on (green lights on). Then press and hold the HOME button (or DOCK+SPOT on some models) on your robot until it plays a series of tones (about 2 seconds). Release the button and your robot will flash WIFI light. Then press any key here... events.js:377 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^

I probably should have asked this earlier but does this plugin work for all Roombas? I have an i7 and not sure if it matters

[karlvr]

@matharris7 OK, progress! Once we resolve this we'll update the instructions. EHOSTUNREACH suggests to me that the IP address you've entered isn't valid. From the log it looks like you didn't replace <IP ADDRESS> with the IP address of your Roomba? If that's the case please re-read the Setup instructions carefully.

There are also some instructions for troubleshooting this process on https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980#how-to-get-your-usernameblid-and-password

[matharris7]

I did input my IP address in those spots. I just replaced them in my response.

[Sakujakira]

@Sakujakira thank you! That last line is where the plugin is installed. You can cd to that directory and then continue the setup steps.

Do you know what roomba2bridge means? Did you create a separate bridge device to contain the plugin? Or is that something Hoobs automatically does?

It`s the automatically genereated bridge name if you choose to isolate plugins in different bridges.

[karlvr]

@Sakujakira okay. So it's going to be a little challenging to locate in every case, but I'll write a command that might do it.
