AssertionError when adding timer as simple valve #84

Closed lureder closed 3 months ago

lureder commented 3 months ago

When checking the box to show timer as simple valve, I get the following error saying that displayName can not be empty. My accessory has a name in the B-Hyve app.

AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Accessories must be created with a non-empty displayName.

Also receiving these warning in the log when I uncheck the "display as a simple valve" checkbox, if that's helpful.

Is this just an issue when using the option for a simple valve?

If there is any question with the name on the orbit side, please check at https://techsupport.orbitbhyve.com

Yes, only get this error when checking the simple valve option. Double checked the names on the link above and everything is in order on the Orbit side.

Thanks, I will look into it

I think I figured out what was wrong…

By default, the name of the zone is the same as the name the accessory. But when I tried to edit the zone name, the field was blank. I then gave it a different name than the what I named the accessory and tried the “simple valve” option again and this time it worked right away with the name I gave the zone in the app rather than the name of the accessory.

Hope that made a sense! :)
