Robot doesn't show

[maydaydarkhorse]

Hi,

I did have this sort of working using 0.6.3 but it was flakey - so I thought I would try the Beta (Now 0.7.0-11) and my vacuum has disappeared. I am no home bridge or Linux wizard though so any help would be appreciated!

[naofireblade]

Hi, what Robot do u use? Does it maybe show in another room? Can you provide homebridge logs from the startup?

I'm just setting up homebridge-neato for the first time, and I'm not seeing any devices show up in the home app. Not sure if it's an error on my part or not. I've followed the 'simple' configuration on the main page, this is what my startup log looks like:

Thanks for commenting. What robot do you use?

[chrisaiello]

I've got the Botvac D3 Connected. As far as I understand it's very similar to the D4 and D5.

[naofireblade]

@maydaydarkhorse do you have the D3 as well?

[naofireblade]

@chrisaiello Do you have a floor plan saved in the map where you can set nogo lines?

[chrisaiello]

I’ve only had it for a couple days, so I haven’t set up the saved floor plan yet.

[naofireblade]

Ok then I know the problem and will fix it asap, probably on monday.

[maydaydarkhorse]

Hi guys, I have a D5 and no floor plan saved either. I will see if adding a floorpan fixes anything.

[naofireblade]

Should be fixed in v0.7.1-beta.1 You can install the beta version with npm install -g homebridge-neato@beta

[chrisaiello]

Looks good so far, thanks for the quick fix! I’ll let you know if I experience any problems.

[naofireblade]

Great, thanks for the feedback!

Now my Robot shows up but I can not control it at all - Homekit says no response.

I can not find any home bridge log files anywhere.... But I get this error in home bridge after trying to activate the robot.

Cannot update robot. Check if robot is online.

What version of the plugin do you use, 0.7.0 or 0.7.1-beta.1?

[naofireblade]

Did you try the spot cleaning or normal cleaning?

[maydaydarkhorse]

HI! I am on 0.7.1-beta.1 ofter upgrading from 0.6.3 to 0.7.0-Beta.10 (Which I then had to google some sort of home bridge json instructions because the install was failing)

I have tried a spot clean and the robot will come off the dock and return to it. But it does nothing when I trigger a "House Clean"

[maydaydarkhorse]

This is what I had to do to get the -10 beta to install...

npm init This utility will walk you through creating a package.json file. It only covers the most common items, and tries to guess sensible defaults.

See npm help json for definitive documentation on these fields and exactly what they do.

Use npm install <pkg> afterwards to install a package and save it as a dependency in the package.json file.

Press ^C at any time to quit. package name: (pi) version: (1.0.0) description: git repository: keywords: author: license: (ISC) About to write to /home/pi/package.json:

{ "name": "pi", "version": "1.0.0", "main": "index.js", "dependencies": { "node-botvac": "^0.4.0" }, "devDependencies": {}, "scripts": { "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1" }, "author": "", "license": "ISC", "description": "" }

Is this OK? (yes) yes pi@raspberrypi:~ $

[naofireblade]

@maydaydarkhorse That looks a bit strange. Usally you can uninstall and install packages (including betas) all day long. However your bug should be fixed in v0.7.1-beta.2

[maydaydarkhorse]

G'day Again! That seems to have fixed it!

What was it? Was it because I don't have a map saved or something else?

[naofireblade]

Yes, the plugin had two consecutive bugs on robots without a map. It got pretty hard to integerate so many features with so many combinations of different robots and user setups. I’m glad it works now :) .

[naofireblade]

Fixed in v0.7.1
