timeout

[politics123]

Hey --

Was playing with this, glad someone started a project. I'm getting an unhandled exception due to timeout:

Hi. This is caused by this issue in the elkmon module that is used inside homebridge-elkm1.

I have been able to work around it by editing my local copy of elkmon's index.js. You need to look for the following code block:

getDescription(id: number, type: TextDescriptionType, cb) {
    //Listen for response
    this.once('SD', (response) => {
      cb(response);
    });

    //Send the command
    let elk = new ElkMessage(`sd${leftPad(type.toString(), 2, 0)}${leftPad(id.toString(), 3, 0)}`, null);
    this.connection.write(`${elk.message}\r\n`);

    //Setup timeout
    setTimeout(function () {
      cb({ error: 'Timout occured before Text Description (sd) was received.'});
    }, 2000);
  }

and change the 2000 to a larger number; I found 15000 worked for me.
