[GittyV]

Hi,

I'm getting a new error since yesterday without any changes to configuration where the lamp is not being recognised. Excerpts from reboot log below.

[4/20/2023, 9:46:07 PM] No plugin was found for the accessory "MiBedsideLamp2" in your config.json. Please make sure the corresponding plugin is installed correctly.

I did notice when troubleshooting that when reinstalling, there is a '@abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket' related error (similar to issue 7) however installing it manually doesn't solve the problem. Wondering if anyone else had a similar experience recently?

Of note aswell, when trying to use the bslamp utility, it throws the following error.

/homebridge/node_modules/@abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket/lib/native.js:9
    super(...args);

hey, I can't reproduce your problems. just tested to reinstall the plugin and it works. I still get the error for the bluetooth-hci-socket package while the installation, but it doesn't matter because the plugin doesn't use bluetooth. your error messages indicates a problem with the bluetooth adapter like described here.

you could also try to start homebridge without --strict-plugin-resolution. maybe you have installed anything global and than the path to the modules /var/lib/homebridge/node_modules would be wrong.

but as already said, you don't need to install the missing package as there is not a single function in the plugin which will use anything of this package. you should be fine in just installing the plugin (ignore just the error).

Hi,

ive re-enabled the Bluetooth adapter and the issue has seemingly resolved. I’m not 100% clear why this has come up now without any other changes to configuration. Will mark this as closed.
