deerma.humidifier.jsq: Fail to connect to device

[pfrankov]

While I'm running > DEBUG=miio-api* homebridge -D

I getting this error:

Fail to connect to device <IP>. TypeError: this.socket.connect is not a function

Model: deerma.humidifier.jsq

My config file:

Do you have any ideas why this could happen?

This is interesting, I have almost the same issue with other plugin:

 [Xiaomi Mi Robot Vaccum 1st Generation] ERR connect | miio.device, next try in 2 minutes | Error: Could not connect to device, handshake timeout

But because it has retries it suddenly starts working: https://github.com/homebridge-xiaomi-roborock-vacuum/homebridge-xiaomi-roborock-vacuum/blob/master/index.js#L752 Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

Hey @pfrankov, I'm using own implementation of miio protocol and I haven't tested it on older versions of NodeJS. It seems that feature I used "connected UDP sockets" which was introduced only in NodeJS v12 (https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v12.x/api/dgram.html#dgram_socket_connect_port_address_callback) and you are using v10. NodeJS 10 is LTS, so I will try to add its support to my miio implementation.

I've update miio-api (russtone/miio-api#2), so issue should be fixed now. But you might need to reinstall the plugin in order to get the latest versions of the dependencies

[pfrankov]

Thank you! But it seems that if I have homebridge-mi-humidifier installed the whole Homekit is not working after couple of minutes. All devices are not responding anymore. To make everything work properly I've tried to turn off the homebridge-mi-humidifier part in the config file. And it was not enough. Only after complete removing AND rebooting both Homebridge and iPhone it started working as before.

This is strange when I tested the plugin on NodeJS v10 everything worked fine. Could you please collect some debug logs?

Mine doesn't work too :(

Homebridge UI v1.2.5 as 1.3.x have issues with Aqara plugin (AC cannot be managed)

UPDATE: Mine is fixed I was obtaining an incorrect token by miio, so after getting token via iOS backup and decoding it - all started to work!

Hey @Ugmaxie

Error SocketError: Timeout usually related to network connection problems. Are you sure that device IP is correct? I see that device IP in miio output is 192.168.4.1 and it is not the same as in logs 10.0.1.84.

Warnings are not related to error I will try to fix them in the next release
