problems with config file.

[jodyw]

I am having problems with the config.json file. I have installed homebridge on iMac. I am getting the following error when starting homebridge with the config.json file listed at bottom.

[3/6/2018, 4:09:21 PM] Loaded plugin: homebridge-neato [3/6/2018, 4:09:21 PM] Registering platform 'homebridge-neato.NeatoVacuumRobot' [3/6/2018, 4:09:21 PM] --- [3/6/2018, 4:09:21 PM] Loaded config.json with 1 accessories and 1 platforms.

Error: The requested accessory 'Neato' was not registered by any plugin. at API.accessory (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/lib/api.js:64:13) at Server._loadAccessories (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/lib/server.js:264:42) at Server.run (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/lib/server.js:86:38) at module.exports (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/lib/cli.js:40:10) at Object.

And this is the config.json file

{ "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge", "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30", "port": 51826, "pin": "031-45-154" },

"description": "This is an example configuration file with one fake accessory and on$

"accessories": [
    {
        "accessory": "WeMo",
        "name": "Coffee Maker"
    }
],

"platforms": [
    {
        "platform": "NeatoVacuumRobot",
        "email": "my neato login",
        "password": "my neato password"
    }
]

}

I have tried changing the "accessories": block different ways. Not sure what is going on. Can you give any advise. Thanks.

That error looks strange. Do you have the most recent version of my plugin installed? Does your homebridge instance accesses the correct plugin folder?

I did have the latest one. I found later that I had to remove the text after accessories and had it working for a while then it quit. Not that good with low level stuff so I have set it on the back burner.

And the config.json is :

"platforms": [{
        "platform": "https://neatorobotics.com/my-neato",
        "email": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com",
        "password": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "refresh": 60,
        "extraCareNavigation": true,
        "disabled": ["dock", "dockstate", "eco"]
    }]

Have you an idea about this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Vince

Hey, this is your only plugin right? The posted config is just the part for my plugin. In order to get homebridge working you need some basic config stuff. Here is a working example:

{
    "bridge": {
        "name": "Homebridge",
        "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
        "port": 51826,
        "pin": "031-45-154"
    },

    "accessories": [],

    "platforms": [{
        "platform": "https://neatorobotics.com/my-neato",
        "email": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com",
        "password": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "refresh": 60,
        "extraCareNavigation": true,
        "disabled": ["dock", "dockstate", "eco"]
    }]
}
