how to include multiple accessories?

[diskjunkie]

I'm having trouble with the config.json file syntax, the example isn't clear. I have two assurelink garage door openers, but can't figure out how to define them both in the config.json file. I continue to receive the error message that multiple openers are detected and need to be specified with the device ID.

Here is my config.json:

{ "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge", "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30", "port": 51826, "pin": "031-45-154" }, "description": "assurelink config section", "accessories": [ { "accessory": "Assurelink", "name": "barn door", "username": "email@email.com", "password": "password", "deviceID": "18534593" }, { "accessory": "Assurelink", "name": "Garage Door", "username": "email@email.com", "password": "password", "deviceID": "483127" } ] }

The error is listed here: [1/4/2017, 8:12:17 PM] Loaded plugin: homebridge-assurelink [1/4/2017, 8:12:17 PM] Registering accessory 'homebridge-assurelink.Assurelink' [1/4/2017, 8:12:17 PM] --- [1/4/2017, 8:12:17 PM] Loaded plugin: homebridge-multi [1/4/2017, 8:12:17 PM] Registering accessory 'homebridge-multi.Multi' [1/4/2017, 8:12:17 PM] --- [1/4/2017, 8:12:17 PM] Loaded config.json with 2 accessories and 0 platforms.

I am sorry can you try "requiredDeviceId": "<device ID>" instead of just deviceID in your config file?

"bridge": {

Hi, I just tried "requiredDeviceID" instead of "deviceID". I still get the same error.

I see that it is complaining about the "requiredDeviceID" property, but I don't have any "property" statements, as I have seen in other config.json files I've looked at. Could that be it? I haven't yet found any combinations of "property" and "accessory" used to describe a device, so I am not sure how to code that.

Also, I'm not sure why they are both being reported as [barn door]:

[1/4/2017, 8:16:51 PM] [barn door] Found Door: 18534593 - barn door opener [1/4/2017, 8:16:51 PM] [barn door] Found Door: 483127 - Garage Door

Thanks!

Ok, I don't have multiple openers to test with. Can you try doing this?

-Uninstall the assurelink plugin using: npm uninstall -g homebridge-assurelink Install the plugin using npm install -g https://github.com/tekuonline/Homebridge-Assurelink.git

Change the config.json to:

"bridge": {
"name": "Homebridge",
"username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
"port": 51826,
"pin": "031-45-154"
},
"description": "assurelink config section",
"accessories": [
{
"accessory": "Assurelink",
"name": "barn door",
"username": "email@email.com",
"password": "password",
"deviceID": "18534593"
},
{
"accessory": "Assurelink",
"name": "Garage Door",
"username": "email@email.com",
"password": "password",
"deviceID": "483127"
}
]
}

Hi, Thanks for looking at it. I am getting the same error with that module.

I am not sure if I mentioned it, but the error occurs when I ask Siri if the garage door is open. The program terminates and Siri reports that she wasn't able to find any garage door this time.

If I ask her if the barn door is open, she doesn't know what barn means.

Would you be able to give v2 a try? https://github.com/tekuonline/homebridge-assurelink2.git Instructions are in the Readme file.

Hi, That works! It recognizes both doors without any additional changes!

Thank you!
