Multiple LG AC units only shows 1 unit inside homekit #44

Closed SausCode closed 4 years ago

SausCode commented 4 years ago

LG Air Conditioner Model Please provide your A/C model here. If the unit successfully paired to Homekit, please also include the "Model" listed in the accessory's settings.

LW1517IVSM LP1419IVSM

The LW1517IVSM shows up inside homekit, perhaps coincidentally I set that one up first and it is the first one listed inside the ThinQ app. The model number inside homekit is: WIN_056905_WW

Describe the bug I have two LG ac units inside thinq, only one shows up inside homekit

Symptom check

Does your unit appear in the Home app? Yes/No - Both, only one of the two is visible
Is the current on/off state, temperature, and mode being reported? Yes/No - Yes for the one that is available
Does your unit respond to the controls? Yes/No - Yes for the one that is available

Hi @SausCode -- Could you restart Homebridge and check the Homebridge logs to see if there's a note about one of them not being supported?

SausCode commented 4 years ago

Hi @sman591, thanks for the reply.

[LgThinqAirConditioner] "Portable" (model POT_056905_WW) uses the thinq1 platform, which is not supported. Please see https://github.com/sman591/homebridge-lg-thinq-ac/issues/4 for updates.

Sorry for the noise, new to homebridge and HOOBS and didn't realize there was output I could actually see.

What's strange is this is the same model that it appears this plugin was working for, the LP1419IVSM. Perhaps I just need to figure out how to force it to update the firmware.

Also, perhaps a separate issue is more appropriate, but seeing a good amount of spam in the logs with the functioning A/C:

I think this is due to the A/C being on Energy Saver Mode, with it off I no longer see the messages in the logs.

sman591 commented 4 years ago

Gotcha! Yeah looks like one of them isn't supported right now. #4 will be updated once support is added.

As for the energy saver mode -- this is a known bug that I believe should have a fix available later with a toggle for this support
