Q: correct settings for 'room' accessory type #60

Closed mrose17 closed 5 years ago

cf., https://github.com/homespun/homebridge-accessory-bandwidth-quality/blob/master/index.js#L175

i am trying to determine why my plugin isn't generating entries that are acceptable to the elgato eve app.

a typical entry is something like:

    { time: 1539616961,  ppm: 500,  temp: 272.56832,  humidity: 9.14389333333332 }

the timer is disabled and an entry is added each hour. in looking at the README i am wondering whether i am doing something wrong with respect to the timing. can you advise me? thanks!

Make sure that your accessory has a unique serial number set. That was my problem. If you have multiple accessories with the same serial number this will fail.

Also, check that you have no ”/“ in the serial number, name or manufacturer characteristics of your accessory

@simont77 & @ctschach - many thanks for the pointers: here's what i have now: img_d04ca40b8b0d-1 which i believe meets all the rules, but still no data available! here is the debug output: https://gist.github.com/mrose17/13b385c8f9f076d38787ac79e8f0254d and a question" where is fakegato-history getting the fakegato.accessoryName? that seems to be undefined ... thanks!

communication seems ok, check that time stamps are correct (not in the future), check time and time zone of accessory and iOS, try to remove Eve and re-add accessory.

For the accessory name, fakegato aspect that your accessory has a “displayName” property

it took me a while, but i figured it out (-;

in order to have history work, you must also report the underlying characteristic. in this case, it's not enough to report the Characteristic.AirQuality but you must also report CommunityTypes.EveAirQuality, cf., https://github.com/homespun/hap-nodejs-community-types/commit/15c112fcbe7da1ee155f2e81a18bf1da21ac2615
