TV accesory state

[adamrzanek]

The TV Accesory HDMI input tile doesn’t sync with actual state of the device in home app and hue app on the latest update.

The previous implementation had some issues, please take the steps described in #13 to re-enable the accessory.

Thanks, but i didn’t help :( It’s on in hue app and off in apple home

Please start Homebridge in debug mode (parameter -D) and check the logs for "Updated state to ...". If those match the the state in the Hue app, then there is a bug in the plugin.

What version of the Sync Box are you running? Mine is firmware 1.4.7, which is the latest firmware according to the Hue Sync app.

Ok, this is the log from homebridge. It’s of in home app and i have the 1.4.7 firmware

The logs are missing in your post, I don‘t think that mail attachments are added to the post on GitHub.

[adamrzanek]

Oh sorry

[adamrzanek]

And this is actual home app state

[lukasroegner]

I see, this is a change that I introduced: the state is exposed as „Off“ if the Sync Box is in power save OR passthrough mode, i.e. no synchronization.

[adamrzanek]

Ok, thanks. So what is correct option to get it synched?

The idea is that the ON state shows that the Sync Box is syncing, the OFF state means that the Sync Box is not syncing. You can play around with the defaultOnMode (I recommend the value lastSyncMode, which means that switching to ON in the Home app enables the last on mode, which can be video, music or game) and the defaultOffMode, which can be powersave or passthrough.

powersave is the state where the toggle button on the Hue Sync app is switched off. passthrough is the state that is shown in your screenshot: the Sync Box is "on", but not syncing.

Those modes determine the target state to which the Sync Box is switched when you change the value in HomeKit.

If I would change the implementation to show the ON state in case of passthrough (the state of your screenshots), you would never have the option to start synchronization via the Home app (as it would already show as ON). Thus, it is displayed as OFF if syncing is not active.

@adamrzanek @padman74 If you want me to change the behavior of the ON/OFF button of the TV accessory, I'll do that.

We need to decide:

• when is the button shown as off (i.e. which state)?
• when is the button shown as on (i.e. which state?
• what state is set when it is toggled on?
• what state is set when it is toggled off?

We can use the following states: passthrough, powersave, video, music, game Moreover, the Sync Box has the property lastSyncMode, which can be video, music, game

[padman74]

For me the Tv accessory is just to change the input channel and to switch the box on/off (toggle: powersave = off; passthrough = on | State when on = passthrough/Video/Game/Music; off = powersave ). Syncing can be controlled with the bulb. For that the config parameters are fine for now ;)

[lukasroegner]

@padman74 Yes, that makes sense, syncing can be controlled via the lightbulb service. I updated the plugin so that the TV accessory can actually change between powersave and passthrough with the ON/OFF switch.

[padman74]

Still the on status remains although the sync box switched to sleep mode.

[adamrzanek]

It works for me now the way i wanted. Set tv accessory to false than reset homebridge. And set it to true again.

The point is when the box is been switched off by other sources (hue sync app, usb cable, cec) the add-on should see the change.

[lukasroegner]

@padman74 Are you sure that you have the latest version of the plugin installed and Homebridge restarted?

[padman74]

Sorry, my fault. From my side ticket can be closed.
