We recently moved away from NGINX. Our images do set the permissions on the node binary. To fix this, set the server port to 3000 +.

We are going to make the default a higher port and only changer this for our pre-built images.

[mkellsy]

@resgroupmsr not the same issue this guy is having.

Please open a new issue. Anyway we are working on a fix for this in version 3.2.2. Will be out soon.

[mkellsy]

3.2.2 is published to NPM. It may take a few hours to show up.

[barns102]

I have been able to update to 3.2.2, but I still don’t see any accessories under the accessories tab, @mkellsy what am I doing wrong?

[barns102]

This is the only error (is it an error) showing up in the logs: 03/05/2020, 8:34:49 am [Broadlink RM] Broadlink RM won't detect device failures due to a permissions issues with "net-ping".

To fix:

1. Run "which node" to determine your node path.
   2. Run "sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /path/to/node".

[mkellsy]

Broadcom may be having issues

sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /usr/local/bin/node

You may also need to add the hoobs binary too

sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@hoobs/hoobs/bin/hoobs

[barns102]

@mkellsy This is what I got

[mkellsy]

Typos, sorry I am very busy, typing too fast.

/use -> /usr

Broadcom may be having issues

sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /usr/local/bin/node

You may also need to add the hoobs binary too

sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@hoobs/hoobs/bin/hoobs

[barns102]

@mkellsy So I have run those commands, and restarted, and the Broadlink error is no longer showing, but I still can’t see my accessories in the accessory tab.

[barns102]

@mkellsy Does this have something to do with the port ranges?

[mkellsy]

no

[mkellsy]

It's hard to say. Do the accessories show up in HomeKit?

[barns102]

@mkellsy Yeah they do show up in HomeKit, just not HOOBS UI.

Is this something I should get over, I just struggle when things don’t work as they should!!

FYI, I absolutely love HOOBS, it has transformed home automation for me.

Thanks for your help.

[mkellsy]

I think we might not have those accessories defined in HOOBS. It it is a TV type, we don't have that yet.

[barns102]

@mkellsy I have several accessories, TPLink sockets, Ring Doorbell, Panasonic TV, Mijia Cameras, Nest Protect, as well as the broadlink RM.

None of them show up.

[mkellsy]

I will need to investigate that. Make a system backup and a download your logs. Then email them to me mkellsy@hoobs.org

Config Screen -> Backup - System

[BobbySlope]

@barns102 is the issue solved? if not reopen and provide more info

[barns102]

Hi, @BobbySlope no this issue is not resolved. I have already updated to 3.2.3 and yet I still don’t have any accessories showing in the HOOBS UI. My log is not reporting any errors.

[BobbySlope]

did u sent the backup to @mkellsy ?

[barns102]

@BobbySlope. I tried to, but my email said the size of the file exceeds to limit. I will investigate this further.
