Maximum RM device ? #210

Closed lynque closed 6 years ago

lynque commented 6 years ago

Thank you for making great plugin. I wonder if I use more than 2RM device. I have 3 device , but I can only 2 device maximum . *server cannot detect 3rd device.

Is there any way to use 3 RM device at the same time ?

Thank you

I get this too. I can only control 3 devices though. Cannot detect 4 at the same time. Looking in getDevice.js, there seems to be a limit of 5 devices? Bumping this up to 8 didn't seem to let it detect all 4 devices however.

To add to this, today I received an RM Pro to supplement my 4 RM Minis. I can successfully detect and use the Pro along with 3 Mini devices.

@dermotos The limit = 5 in getDevice.js isn't actually doing anything

You could try increasing the number of times that it tries to discover new devices by increasing the value in if (count >= 5) {.

You could also decrease the amount of time between discovers by decreasing the value in the following:

  setTimeout(() => {
    discoverDevices(count);
  }, 5 * 1000)

I only have one device so I can't help out much more than that. There should be no limit (within reason). I don't suppose one of the RM Mini's has the same MAC address as another?

Another suggestion is to explicitly specify the IP address of the RM device you with to use in the command as per https://github.com/lprhodes/homebridge-broadlink-rm#multiple-broadlink-rm-devices

anyone solved this? I got 3 RM4 mini and can only discovered 2 !

This is happening to me too. I've got 4 RM Mini 4 and an RM Mini 3, I can only ever control 3 devices. @lprhodes if you have any debugging steps I should follow, LMK.
