iOS Accessories ‘updating’ after a few days #84

Closed rhy5davie5 closed 5 months ago

rhy5davie5 commented 6 months ago

Describe The Bug:

All accessories added to ‘Home’ via this plugin become unresponsive after a few days for no obvious reason.

To Reproduce:

Add the widget and wait!???

Expected behavior:

I’ve had to manually specify each accessory in the plugin config page for them to appear despite the plugin saying it will search and add accessories automatically? Can’t understand why it works great for a few days then decides to stop working. Only way to fix it is to uninstall the plugin (keeping the config) then reinstall. The frozen accessories then re-appear in the home app and start working again.

Some people with lots of Alexa accessories have reported issues when using the automatic search for accessories. That’s a limitation on Amazon’s end, unfortunately.

Do you use HOOBS or run Homebridge directly?

Running homebridge directly.

I have numerous Alexa accessories because I'm using your plugin as a bridge between SmartThings and HomeKit. Your plugin has been a Godsend since Tonesto7 pulled his support to his SmartThings/Homebridge support. Unfortunately, SmartThings pushes ALL supported devices to Alexa with no way of controlling which ones I want and which ones I don't.

Can you please share your plugin config? I see you left that out above.

Haven't received any reports from others having the same issue and I have not experienced it myself. My hunch is the cookie is not being refreshed automatically, but since you left out the plugin config, I can't verify the setting for that. Closing this due to inactivity.
