Error message in console: ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE #17

Latest homebridge and this plugin, seeing this message (a lot) in console:

[homebridge-vesync-v2] ERROR: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "data" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received null

I'm not seeing this on 1.6. Do you have any vsync devices that might not be supported that you need to add to the exclude list?

intrepidsilence commented 1 year ago

Apparently my scale is unsupported. However I cannot seem to figure out what to exclude to get it to stop complaining.

I have turned on debug, but the output from the plugin is exactly the same as without it.

Here is the output I get:

[2/10/2023, 10:48:50 AM] [homebridge-vesync-v2] Adding discovered devices
[2/10/2023, 10:48:50 AM] [homebridge-vesync-v2] Adding device:  null Scale
[2/10/2023, 10:48:50 AM] [homebridge-vesync-v2] ERROR: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "data" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received null

I have tried excluding both "Scale" and "null Scale" but neither worked.

Best way to find the string to exclude is to find the accessory under the "Accessories" tab in homebridge and click the gear icon. That will give you a list of properties and you want the "Model" property. Also remember that is case sensitive. So it needs to be exactly the same. I suspect it's going to be the same model number as your scale, for example ESF-551, ESF24, or FIT8S

THat's great for things that get added, but since this causes a fault it never gets added and thus is not listed in Accessories.

Ah, good point. Can you tell me which model scale it is?

Can you try ESN-C551S and ESN-C551S-SUS and see if either of those work?

Hello, I am also receiving the same error message. I also do not see any of my VeSync devices in the Accessories in Homebridge, even after I have entered my credentials for the VeSync account. If I do need to exclude strings, where do I find the list of unsupported devices?
