Broken my homebridge/HA install, [HomeAssistant] Failed getting devices: Error: read ECONNRESET.

Hey all.

I've been happily using Homebridge with HA for a few months on a Pi, love it. Decided to play around with Alexa, so added the functionality to the same pi. I haven't yet gotten Alexa talking to HA, but now have this issue with Homebridge:

`pi@raspberrypi:~ $ homebridge

And it just retries. I'm aware of having to run: export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 due to now having SSL. I'm sure it's something stupid but for the life of me i'm not seeing it. I have some linux experience from many years ago so sorry if this is a nooblike question!

Here's my config.json: ` { "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge", "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30", "port": 51826, "pin": "031-45-154" },

    "platforms": [{
            "platform": "HomeAssistant",
            "name": "HomeAssistant",
            "host": "https://192.168.0.24:8123",
            "password": "<REDACTED>",
            "supported_types": ["light", "scene", "sensor"]
    }]

}

That reads like a problem with either Home Assistant or the Home Assistant plugin and not HomeBridge.

PS I have doing the same thing with Alexa, and have this working POC if you want to give something else a try with Alexa

Thanks for the reply mate. I'm a little lost now, maybe i'll search over at HA.

That looks like a decent alternative, the hole thing fell apart with me sorting out SSL, I only need Alexa to perform easy tasks such as limitlessLED lights and scenes, the HA route seems rather convoluted with SSL and skills.
