Coming across the above error when adding the Netatmo plug-in. I'm specifically wanting to add HomeKit support for the WeatherStation as Energy is natively supported. see my config below:

        {
            "platform": "netatmo",
            "name": "netatmo platform",
            "ttl": 5,
            "auth": {
                "client_id": "xxxxxxx",
                "client_secret": "xxxxxxx",
                "username": "xxxxxxx",
                "password": "xxxxxxx",
                "deviceTypes": [
                    "weatherstation"
                ]
            }
        }

I thought it was because I have Netatmo already in place (and working) within homeassistant and somehow homebridge was seeing the fact I have it setup as a duplicate so I commented out all config for that in home assistant configuration.yaml etc and re-tested. Same issue.

I also created a separate dev.netatmo.com app just for homebridge and still getting the error.

I saw this issue was raised previously but was closed as user rebuilt their setup. Doesn't really help me as all working apart form this.

Same issue. I believe it is because of this:

[10/3/2020, 8:10:28 PM] Initializing platform accessory 'undefined Netatmo Station'... [10/3/2020, 8:10:28 PM] Initializing platform accessory 'undefined Netatmo Module'... [10/3/2020, 8:10:28 PM] Initializing platform accessory 'undefined Netatmo Module'...

I have a weather station, rain gauge, and ourdoor sensor. Looks like the rain gauge and outdoor sensor are both being reported as 'undefined module'.

Change the names of all three to something completely different in the Netatmo app. Mine are RainMan, SunshineGuy, and BaseDude. Solved the issue for me.
