How do I enable logging?

[SupraJames]

Trying to diagnose an issue where my device actual status isn't being updated (Sonoff). Read through the other issues but they all pre-date the current revision.

I see the code logs certain messages but I don't see it in syslog even with *DEBUG= homebridge** set.

Oh, never mind - I can see the plugin doesn't actually do much logging at all. Going to add in some log output and track this issue.

Hey SupraJames just wondering if you got anywhere with this? I'm having the same issue

I added some logging around the functions and it was then quite apparent I'd messed up the config. Basically I had set 'integerValue' to FALSE to use 'ON' and 'OFF' as my status, but the correct thing to do was not set integerValue to anything.

Here's the extract from index.js. It shows you message coming in and how they compare to what the code is expecting:

    this.client.on('message', function (topic, message) {
        that.log('MQTT RX: ' + topic + ' ' + message);
        if (topic == that.topicStatusGet) {
            var status = message.toString();
        that.log('STATUS is ' + status);
        that.log('that.onValue: ' + that.onValue + ' that.offValue: ' + that.offValue);
            if (status == that.onValue || status == that.offValue) {
        that.log('Updating HomeKit Status');
                that.switchStatus = (status == that.onValue) ? true : false;
                that.service.getCharacteristic(Characteristic.On).setValue(that.switchStatus, undefined, 'fromSetValue');
            }
        }
    });

Thanks for the quick response! I also just realised my config was slightly incorrect and now all appears to be working.

I had ON/OFF values nested inside topics in the JSON.
