disable satecmd check on startup[Support]

[crbyxwpzfl]

Describe Your Problem: I want to open a ssh session and call a remote python script via the sate_cmd

...
"state_cmd": "ssh user@ip python3 \"/home/pi/spinala/tisch.py\"
...

this results in an error when I start homebridge

 Error: The file: ""/home/pi/spinala/tisch.py"" does not exist, It is highly likely the state_cmd will fail. Hint: Do not use wildcards that would normally be expanded by a shell.

is there a simple way to disable this check? this is just a minor issue and probably very specific. I can work around this if there is no easy way to disable this check. any way I really love your plugin and you already heled me a bunch of times! I am very thankfull for your effort and time!

Environment:

• Node.js Version: v16.13.0
• NPM Version: 8.1.0
• Homebridge Version: 1.3.5
• Operating System: macOS
• Process Supervisor: hb-service

ok I solved it for my specific case by commenting out parts of the validateStateCmd() in Cmd4Accessory.js so it always returns ture.

validateStateCmd( state_cmd )
{
/*
...
*/
return true
}

But I dont feel confident about this becasue I dont know if this causes other issues. anyway feel free to close this.

Hi,

I have done just that too. Sorry, I'm trying to get something in at the same time. The fix should be later today. Sorry for the late response.

Ttyl, John

Hi,

I just release v6.0.1 that did exactly what you wanted. That code has been there since the beginning and was never a really good thing to do. Sometimes trying to help people with code like the validateStateCmd function has brought me more trouble than it was worth.

Enjoy Cmd4, John Talbot
