Hello Are there any messages between timestamps [24/09/2022, 20:21:24] and [24/09/2022, 20:30:17]?

[thicla01]

Yes, it's a repetition of what you see between [homebridge-i6-bigassfans] Restarting Process... (...) [homebridge-i6-bigassfans] Process Ended. Code: 1, Signal: null

For you information, I've decided to restart my homebridge setup from scratch I've flashed my SD card with the software "Raspberry Pi Imager v1.7.3", with the "Official Homebridge Raspberry Pi Image" dated 2022-07-08. On startup, there was one update available for the Homebridge UI. After the update the version was "homebridge-config-ui-x v4.50.1". After that, I installed the "Big Ass Fans i6" plugin version "homebridge-i6-bigassfans v0.5.1" (Note: Installation without Child Bridge). After that, I add to the configuration one of my Haiku Fan.

{ "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge B9C9", "username": "Removed", "port": 51704, "pin": "Removed", "advertiser": "avahi" }, "accessories": [], "platforms": [ { "name": "Config", "port": 8581, "platform": "config" }, { "fans": [ { "name": "Haiku-Salon", "ip": "Removed", "mac": "Removed", "fanModel": "Haiku H/I Series", "showWhooshSwitch": true, "showFanAutoSwitch": true, "showLightAutoSwitch": true, "showDimToWarmSwitch": false, "showEcoModeSwitch": true } ], "platform": "BigAssFans-i6" } ], "disabledPlugins": [] }

The result puzzled me. The system started normally, buy when I tried to add the Homebridge setup to HomeKit with the QR Code, It failed several times. I disabled the "Big Ass Fans I6" plugin and after that I was able to add Homebridge to HomeKit without any delay. I enabled again the plugin, restart Homebridge and I tried to add my Haiku Fan to HomeKit but the Fan doesn't appeared in the list of devices to be added...

Second test:

I configure the plugin to use a Child Bridge. I restarted the Homebridge. Everything was fine. I restarted Homebridge a second time. The loop started again.

[oogje]

Is homebridge-i6-bigassfans the only plugin you use with homebridge?

I searched for "[HB Supervisor] Homebridge Process Ended. Code: 143" and am going through the results looking for a clue.

The "address already in use" error means there's probably a child bridge still alive that's bound to that address. But I think that's a symptom, not a cause. Once you see "Homebridge Process Ended. Code: 143, Signal: null" nothing after that really matters. It appears exit code 143 is the result of a SIGTERM, implying something is deliberately trying to gracefully kill the process. So the question is what and why.

[oogje]

Check out https://www.reddit.com/r/homebridge/comments/mml26u/homebridge_seems_to_restart_constantly/ and see if dev_oznu's solution helps.

[thicla01]

Yes, right now it's the only plugin in my configuration since I've reinstall everything from scratch (the goal was to eleminate unwanted variables to resolve the problem). The proposed solution was for a Homebridge configuration on a Mac and my Homebridge run on a Raspberry Pi.

Here's the result for the first command proposed by dev_oznu: pi@homebridge:~ $ launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.homebridge.server.plist -bash: launchctl: command not found

[oogje]

Can you try running homebridge without the UI? On the pi, hb-service stop, then run homebridge -I -D.

[thicla01]

Sorry, I'm some kind of a newbi for that :( First command worked For the second command, is it the homebridge script found at /var/lib/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge/bin? The result is : pi@homebridge:/var/lib/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge/bin $ ./homebridge -I -D /usr/bin/env: ‘node’: No such file or directory

[oogje]

Never mind that idea, it probably wouldn't have helped anyway. Go ahead and restart homebridge with hb-service start. I trust that will get you back to where you were.

How about setting all the switch options for your fan to false in the config and clear the cache and restart to see what happens.

[thicla01]

Same result.

I just remember that I installed the same plugin for my girlfriend and it works fine right now. Here the difference node -v (v16.4.2 => I have v16.16.0) npm -v (8.7.0 => I have V8.11.0)

Do you know how to downgrade node.js?

[oogje]

Offhand I don't know how to downgrade node. But a search tells me nvm install <version-number> In the meantime I'm going to upgrade my version to 16.16.0 and see if that breaks the plugin.

[oogje]

I just accidentally found out you can downgrade with hb-service update-node <version>.

[thicla01]

Thanks,

I downgrade node.js but no effect. I will restart from scratch but with the image Raspbian-Homebridge-v1.0.33.zip instead of Raspbian-Homebridge-v1.0.38.zip. I will let you know.

[oogje]

okey doke.

I'm thinking at some point we try to run without the child bridge and resolve whatever issues come up there (QR failure [try to add with QR code before adding config for fan], fan doesn't appear [remove bridge using Home app]).

[thicla01]

I installed from scratch with Raspbian-Homebridge-v1.0.33.zip. At the beginning, I configure my Haiku Fan as "Haiku H/I Series" as before and I had the same weird result.

After that, I remembered that my girlfriend has a "Haiku L" fan. Then I configured my fan as if it was an "Haiku L". With that, I was able to add Homebridge to HomeKit and the child bridge also. No loop with that. But no communication with the fan.

[thicla01]

OK I will try that

[thicla01]

I restarted from scratch again with Raspbian-Homebridge-v1.0.33.zip and Raspbian-Homebridge-v1.0.38.zip. Installation of the plugin Big Ass Fans i6 version homebridge-i6-bigassfans v0.5.1 with no fan configured and no Child Bridge

Successfuly added Homebridge to HomeKit with QR code Haiku Fan configuration added to the plugin with "Haiku L series" instead of "Haiku H/I series" Failure to add the Fan in Homekit I've changed the Fan configuration to "Haiku H/I series" and it still failed.

[oogje]

Can you show me the log file from when you start homebridge and it fails to add the fan?

[thicla01]

Hello oogje,

Another day, another test. I've downgrade the plugin to the version homebridge-i6-bigassfans v0.4.3. And the fan appeared like by magic in homekit :) And I'm able to control the fan with the Home app in iOS.

[thicla01]

I'm at work right now. I will redo the test with the version 0.5.1 and see if there is logs for the failure to add the fan in HomeKit.

[thicla01]

Second test. Adding the second fan with the Plugin v0.4.3: Success

[thicla01]

Third test. Upgrading the Plugin to 0.5.1. The communication with the fans stop. Downgrading the Plugin to 0.4.3. The communication with the fans works again.

[oogje]

Send logs from 0.5.1 failure please - from the time you start homebridge until it's apparent there's no communication.

[thicla01]

Step 1) Using version 0.5.1, adding Homebridge in HomeKit without any fan in the configuration. Adding the fan in the configuration but unable to add the fan in HomeKit

Thanks!

It's interesting that things work with v0.4.3 of the plugin. but I don't know why it doesn't work with v0.5.1.

All the steps show "Publishing bridge accessory..." in the logs. Does that mean the plugin is using a child bridge in these steps?

Can I see the config file as it stands now assuming it hasn't changed since Step 4.

Does the fan show up in the accessories section of the Homebridge UI? If so can you control it from there?

[thicla01]

Hello oogje,

I don't use any Child Bridge for step 1 to 4.

Here is the config file used in Step 1 (at the end), 3 and 4:

{ "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge 300E", "username": "0E:19:56:99:AE:83", "port": 51144, "pin": "824-60-360", "advertiser": "avahi" }, "accessories": [], "platforms": [ { "name": "Config", "port": 8581, "platform": "config" }, { "fans": [ { "name": "Haiku Salon", "ip": "Removed", "mac": "Removed", "fanModel": "Haiku H/I Series", "whoosh": true, "fanAuto": true, "lightAuto": true, "dimToWarm": false, "ecoMode": true } ], "platform": "BigAssFans-i6" } ] }

At step 4, the fan is still in the accessory list but no control. Same thing for the Home app in iOS.

[oogje]

Would you install homebridge-i6-bigassfans@0.5.2-beta3 and add these attributes to your config for the Haiku Salon:

...
"dimToWarm": false,
"ecoMode": true,
"debugLevels": [
  ["network", 4],
  ["redflags", 1],
  ["characteristics", 3]
]
...

then restart and try to turn the fan on and off and show the logs?

[thicla01]

Hello oogje,

The new config

{ "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge 300E", "username": "0E:19:56:99:AE:83", "port": 51144, "pin": "824-60-360", "advertiser": "avahi" }, "accessories": [], "platforms": [ { "name": "Config", "port": 8581, "platform": "config" }, { "fans": [ { "name": "Haiku Salon", "ip": "Removed", "mac": "Removed", "fanModel": "Haiku H/I Series", "whoosh": true, "fanAuto": true, "lightAuto": true, "dimToWarm": false, "ecoMode": true, "debugLevels": [ [ "network", 4 ], [ "redflags", 1 ], [ "characteristics", 3 ] ] } ], "platform": "BigAssFans-i6" } ] }

Thanks. Now please change the ["network", 4] to ["network", 8] and restart. I'd like to see the log file after that change but it will have some info like your MAC and IP encoded as hex numbers, so you might want to mail it to me rather than include it here. Is so, you can send to turbo_titled_0w@icloud.com.

[oogje]

My bad, make that ["network", 11], please.

[thicla01]

Logs sent to turbo_titled_0w@icloud.com

[oogje]

Got it, thanks.

[oogje]

Can you (try to) turn the light off and on with Home app, and then the BAF app and send the log please. Make a note of the time when you use the Home app, and when you use the BAF app, thanks.

[thicla01]

Here is the resulte with the plugin version 0.5.2 Beta 3

With the Home app, there is no communication with the fan and therefore no logs and no response from the fan. With the BAF app, the fan react to turning on and off the light but no log is generated. In the homebridge's accessories section, there is no device.

[thicla01]

Here is the result with the plugin version 0.4.3

Sent to turbo_titled_0w@icloud.com

[oogje]

Thanks. Version 0.4.3 and 0.5.x parse the messages from the fan in different ways. At this point I understand 0.4.3 works but I can't really compare it to 0.5.x and see what's different because at a low level everything is different.

I think when you flip back and forth between 0.4.3 and 0.5.x it changes things like caches in HomeKit and it would be better if that didn't happen.

If you're okay using 0.4.3 that's fine. At this point I don't have much of a clue what's going on with your setup.

If you want to get to 0.5.x, I think we can eventually figure out why it's not working but it's going to be a lot of "change this config", "restart", "try to turn on the light", "send the logs", "repeat" to get to a solution.

If you want to keep working this, please clean the caches, persistence, etc, run the beta and send me the logs. If not we can take a break and I'll work with the data I have from you so far. Either way, I appreciate your help so far.

[thicla01]

OK. I understant. Il will try again tomorrow with 0.5.2 Beta 3.

[thicla01]

There is a firmware update tonight for the fan and wall control (version 3.1.1). I have some communication between homebridge (plugin version 0.5.2 Beta 3) and the fan. I just noticed that.

Lol, I have no idea what's going on.

[thicla01]

Hello oogje,

I was trying a lot of things today to figure out the problem. I've always tested with my Haiku in the living room. I decided to test with the Haiku in my bedroom. It works with that Haiku and the plugin version 0.5.1! It seems that the problem is with my Haiku in the living room only... I will try a hard reset on that Haiku and will let you know...

[thicla01]

If I put both fans in the configuration, everything stop to work...

[thicla01]

I sent you the log by email for both fans.

[oogje]

Hello,

I haven't received the email with the log files.

[thicla01]

I sent them to this email address : turbo_titled_0w@icloud.com Is this correct?

[oogje]

Yes, that address is correct.

[oogje]

I just received the email with text "Logs with the fan in the bedroom working with plugin version 0.5.2-beta3".

[thicla01]

OK I just send them again from another email account. Let me know.
