Restart home bridge to finish setting up this child bridge #46

Closed 0x962 closed 2 years ago

The plugin keeps asking me to restart Homebridge, even though I have done that several times already.

To be clear, I click on the three dots on the top right hard corner of the UI, and select "restart server". I then wait for the server to come back online, and monitor the logs till I see API calls made that return the list of IR devices I am trying to connect. Once the logs end, I go to settings for the plugin to try and pair it with HomeKit and see the following.

For others who come across this issue, I was able to fix this by doing two things -

  1. Adding the bridge to HomeKit using the code instead of the QR scanner (the code is printed in your logs when you restart the child bridge / home bridge)
  2. Turning off "auto fetch remotes" and adding device IDs for all remotes I had configured manually.

While the UI still asks me to restart Homebridge, the integration itself works, and I am able to control my devices via HomeKit now.

Cheers!

This is a problem with Homebridge UI and not with the plugin.
