Versions before 1.0.0 can login but find nothing for whatever reason. It worked before w/o problems for a long time.

User & password are correct (Plugin homebridge-midea-air works, iOS App NetHome Plus works also)

Environment:

• Plugin Version: 1.0.5 (tried 1.0.6-beta.2 also)
• Homebridge Version: 1.4.1
• Node.js Version: 18.20.2
• NPM Version: 10.5.0
• Operating System: Raspbian Bullseye

[kovapatrik]

It should work with 1.0.6-beta.5, could you please test it?

[emcepe]

Hi Patrik,

thank you for the fast fix :-)

login works again but it won't find any device?! :-(

[kovapatrik]

discovering the devices is totally independent of what account you are using, so it's most likely a local network issue. are your devices on a VLAN?

[kovapatrik]

any updates on this issue?

[emcepe]

sorry 4 my late reply.

Yes, those IoT devices are all in a different VLAN but the pi has also a link to that network.

[kovapatrik]

Could you please do a discovery where you write your VLAN's IP in the "IP Addresses" field?

[emcepe]

Does not find any device.

For whatever reason the discovery will work if I change the location of the dehumidifier so the network is connected to a repeater and not to the router itself.

I don't know why - Does not make any sense to me yet.

Anyway, this issue is fixed. Thank you.
