7 years ago This is what I just tried putting in the assync final callback function. Not tested yet. It simply executes an sh file to restart homebridge upon asyncError. But I also put the codes that execute when there's no asyncError into an else branch, thinking that if this part is not run when there's an error, HomeKit won't go and delete the accessories.
function (asyncError) {
if (asyncError) {
this.log(asyncError);
this.log("Restarting homebridge");
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var cmd = 'sh THIS_FILE_USES_LAUNCHCTL_TO_RESTART_HOMEBRIDGE';
exec(cmd, function(error, stdout, stderr){
if(error)
{
this.log("Restart homebridge failed: " + stderr);
process.exit(999);
}
else
{
this.log("Restart homebridge: " + stdout);
}
});
}
else
{
if (this.foundAccessories.length > 99) {
this.log("*** WARNING *** you have %s accessories.",
this.foundAccessories.length);
this.log("*** Limiting to the first 99 discovered. ***");
this.log("*** See README.md for how to filter your list. ***");
this.foundAccessories = this.foundAccessories.slice(0, 99);
}
this.log("Created %s accessories", this.foundAccessories.length);
callback(this.foundAccessories.sort(
function (a, b) {
return (a.name > b.name) - (a.name < b.name);
}
));
}
}.bind(this)

My homebridge randomly restarted, and upon restart, its log showed Indigo connection error: ERRCONNREFUSED. This doesn't usually happen, but once happened, homebridge would log "created 0 accessories", and thus HomeKit will delete everything from homebridge, and in turn all room configurations etc get lost.
Suggest in the function of sending "devices.json" request, upong asyncError, instead of only logging the error, but also try re-send the request, and/or (upon repeated failing) restart homebridge or homebridge-indigo.
