Can't Dim Tuya lights

I have two tuya lamps which you can dim and alter the colour temperature via the smart life app.

Within Hoobs I can dim the lights but not alter the temperature, which is not a big problem.

The main issue is that the log shows warning and errors even after configuring the light, I have tried various values and even changed the type to Dimmer. Using as a Dimmer only allows on and off functionality, in this configuration there are no errors or warning.

Sample of the errors and my config below,

Any advice please to resolve this problem.

Help Needed with Homebridge Setup and Using an iPad as a Home Hub

Hi...I’m running a setup with a Raspberry Pi 5 using Homebridge. I wanted something to keep my ring cameras always on, and easy to glance at in my house, and accessible through the Apple Home app. I also need to be able to control and view my devices remotely, whether I’m on mobile data or any WiFi network. I saw an iPad could be good for this as I didn't wanna do any complicated VPN type things.

I bought a 9th generation iPad after hearing it could act as a home hub. However, while setting it up, I discovered that the “Use this iPad as a Home Hub” option is no longer available. After doing some research, I found out Apple removed this feature.

I decided to downgrade the iPad’s profile to bring the home hub setting back, and it does show up again, but now I have a new issue. It seems to have messed with the Apple Home app configuration, removing my connected devices, including my Homebridge setup.

Is there a workaround to still use this iPad for remote access to my devices, or do I need to look into other options? Would getting an Apple TV or HomePod be more reliable in the long run for my needs, even if I don’t plan to use voice commands?

Thanks

ProtonVPN on Raspberry Pu running Homebridge

Hello! I'm running Homebridge on a Raspberry Pi. A while back, I installed ProtonVPN on the computer. But when it is on, Homebridge doesn't work. Is it possible to have the VPN on and have Homebridge work? Thank you!

How important are homebridge updates

Ok I’m gonna preface this with I’m disabled (mentally and physically), the majority of my home is for accessibility; lights, fans, air con, cameras. I don’t have door locks (although I have once had a garage opener but I haven’t been able to get it to work on my new house)

Being disabled, my brain doesn’t work, I struggle the majority of the time to fix any errors that pop up in my home. I set it all up in 2020, I don’t remember how. I had a great brain day and it all worked out. I’m also using a pi if that helps.

The point of my post is that I see on homebridge page that there’s always updates for things. But because I have no idea how to fix it if I breaks things, I avoid them. I figure the longer I wait, the less issues the update will create.

Is this stupid? Should I be updating things asap if everything’s working fine. (Last year my Tuya app decided to no longer talk to homebridge, I risked it and updated everything and I still haven’t figured that one out, I’ve moved almost everything to SL successfully. My anko led strip won’t talk to homebridge at all in either Tuya or smart life but I’ve made a work around using the tap scenes)

I know you are all geniuses and most of what you’re going to tell me will go right over my 1/6 of a human brain. Please try to dumb things right down for me. (I might need a few days to understand what you say so please bare with me)

(I understand the irony of a dumb person owning a smart home but it’s necessity for me, not fun)

After years of faithful service. boom

Have had this install running for quite a long time, starting with a pi, then moving to a vm, then moving to a container, and everything has been great. Then just all of a sudden, my home app doesnt see it any more.

tore it down and rebuilt the container 3 times, eventually starting from zero, not using my saved config. Same result

Have started from scratch with ubuntu and get the same results.

Homebridge *seems* to work as I can see its devices, and THEY do work, but the home app just cant see them

Have deleted the home in the app. even deleted the home app/settings and re-downloaded it.

Starting a new home, I add and let it see the QR code, and it acts like it adds, and it shows up as an active bridge, just doesnt pass on its devices.

I *feel* like I want to blame ios 18, but I get the results with ipad os 16.6.1

Anyone ? I've lost all my automations, and boy was I spoiled.

Avahi mDNS Usage

I have a LibreELEC box where Homebridge is running via Docker container. As per mDNS Options (Homebridge), if running in Docker container, add the following volumes:

volumes:
 - /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus
 - /var/run/avahi-daemon/socket:/var/run/avahi-daemon/socket

I added them to the command line:

docker run -d --restart=always --net=host \
  --name=homebridge \
  -v /storage/homebridge:/homebridge \
  -v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus \
  -v /var/run/avahi-daemon/socket:/var/run/avahi-daemon/socket \
  -e HOMEBRIDGE_CONFIG_UI=1 \
  -e HOMEBRIDGE_CONFIG_UI_PORT=8581 \
  homebridge/homebridge:latest

However, I get the following in the logs:

Starting Avahi daemon
Found user 'avahi' (UID 105) and group 'avahi' (GID 108).
Successfully dropped root privileges.
avahi-daemon 0.8 starting up.

If I remove the Avahi mounts and run it with the following:

docker run -d --restart=always --net=host \
  --name=homebridge \
  -v /storage/homebridge:/homebridge \
  -e HOMEBRIDGE_CONFIG_UI=1 \
  -e HOMEBRIDGE_CONFIG_UI_PORT=8581 \
  homebridge/homebridge:latest

It appears to run fine:

Spoken announcements in daily routines or scenes

I'm wondering if there is a way to have HomePods make timed announcements the way my Nest Hub does.

Like, “It’s 7.30, you need to be ready to go.… “

I have more HomePod Minis than Nest and was hoping to keep it that way.

I have seen a workaround that uses recorded audio files, but I hate the sound of my voice.

Can't update Homebridge. where am I going wrong?

Hello All,

Im trying to update my Homebridge but every time it fails,

[06/11/2024, 15:11:33] [Homebridge UI] Running Command: npm install --save homebridge@1.8.5

[06/11/2024, 15:11:40] [Homebridge UI] Error: Operation failed with code 1.

I have tried installing updates via the Homebridge UI, via SSH terminal

When I try to update Homebridge via terminal I get this notification

Unsupported engine {

npm WARN EBADENGINE   package: 'homebridge@1.8.5',

npm WARN EBADENGINE   required: { node: '^18.15.0 || ^20.7.0 || ^22' },

npm WARN EBADENGINE   current: { node: 'v18.14.2', npm: '9.5.0' }

But when I try to update the Node it says this

Updating Node.js to LTS, please wait...

Installed: v18.14.2

Current Node.js LTS: v22.11.0

Updating Node.js to v22.11.0...

Apologies im still trying to learn the system.

Google Nest SDM plugin

I installed google nest SDM plugin after the original Nest plugin was giving problems due to tokens expiring. I was able to set it up with the YouTube video (it was quite technical). Now I can see all my 3 nest in the homekit, however they sometime show different temperature than what it is in the nest device. Is this is a known issue with this plugin or have i setup it up incorrectly and have to go through the steps once again...please advise

Working Homebridge in Synology NAS, but unable to add to Home on Apple device

Hi all;

I have what seems to be a perfectly functional Homebridge install in my Synology NAS (via Docker), and even added my Ring Doorbell, but I cannot it seems, add these devices to Home on my iPhone.

When I try to add Homebridge (as a bridge) it tries for about two minutes, and then coughs up this error. I do not have a firewall on, but the logs say the Homebridge is working on port 48932, which is different than the port I'm using to access the Homebridge WebUI. Not really sure whether that might be the problem or not.

Nothing I can see in the logs that happens when I try to connect it to the Home app.

Any thoughts?

Server homebridge was on died and now I can't get things running again

I've had a homebridge server running for years. it never gave me any trouble. recently the server that the VM was running on died. I had a backup of the VM that I've restored to another machine. The instance starts, interface loads, but I have no control over any of my accessories. Mostly Wiz bulbs. I even went as far as to start from scratch but homebridge is not discovering any of my accessories.

would someone mind helping me out here with some next steps / things to try?

hb-service install fails on windows 10

Hi all,

I'm installing homebridge for the first time on a windows 10 machine. Node.js installed fine and 'node -v' and 'npm -v' returned correctly. I then did the command via npm to install homebridge/homebridge-ui.

However, when I then go to 'hb-service install', I get the following error message:

>>'hb-service' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

There are suggestions for what to do if hb-service isn't found on a Mac, but I don't see any such suggestions for Windows. Anyone else encountered this?

Shelly and Homebridge 2.0?

Asking here because others have asked on the plugin page and not received any responses in months - does anyone know if the Shelly plugin will work, or be updated to work with HB 2.0?

I have a lot of Shelly devices and hope to add more, but I'm concerned that the Shelly plugins don't seem to being maintained much these days.

Magic Occupancy huge delays

Hey,

I don't know if it always has been like that but suddenly both me and my GF have noticed that it takes about 3-5 seconds for our motion sensor operated lights (via the magic occupancy plugin) to come on.

https://preview.redd.it/uya8iufubwyd1.jpg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0b2810b6a09da53ba7eb6cd6726331c72527775

The automations in home are simple and do not do any heavy lifting.

Did anybody else notice? Is this something that can be fixed? I can code if needed.

EDIT: I should probably mention that I run my HB on my M1 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM

Thanks

Adding homebridge on QNAP

Newbie at homebridge. I’ve got it all set up in a container on my QNAP but no matter what I try I can’t seem to add it as an accessory in HomeKit. It always just tries to connect and then says it can’t find the accessory.

A few questions:

  1. What am I potentially missing?

  2. How stable is homebridge generally? I don’t mind spending time figuring this out initially but I don’t want to be running into issues like this regularly, so I’m wondering if this is worth it for me.

  3. Once you have it setup do you still generally buy HomeKit compatible devices for ease of use, or does it really open things up for you and you just buy whatever smart devices you prefer?

NDI Video Stream Support

I have checked the history (and plugins) for NDI stream support on HomeBridge, and couldn't find any topic. I have an Obsbot camera on the network with NDI active. Is there any known way or plugin to integrate that into HomeBridge and HomeKit?

Struggling with homebridge-daikin-cloud on Mac

Hi,

As the title says ... so I could install home bridge, run it, learn that it's impossible to drive my AC units locally (I have BRP069C4x Wifi cards and am using the Onecta app), installed the "verified" Daikin cloud plugin (homebridge-daikin-cloud) by jrnvdb, create a developer account and an "app" on Daikin Europe developer suite. The plugin starts well and is recognized by the Home app.

And so during the setup process both Daikin site and plugin will ask to input a "Redirect URI" which is meant to be Homebridge's IP and the 8592 port. Assume 192.168.X.Y:8592 in my case. In Homebridge log, the plugin will write " Please navigate to https://192.168.1.61:8582 to start the authorisation flow. If it is the first time you open this url you will need to accept a security warning". So I try to open a browser window with the address and it fails ... it says "safari can't connect to server" as if it did not exist at all ...

What am I missing ? Thanks in advance.

Any help or direction is appreciated.

Simplisafe3 plugin issues

I’m a new user to HomeKit. I installed on my Pi using the image from the raspberry pi image tool.

When installing the Simplisafe 3 plugin, I follow the steps listed in the read me. I go to the website from the button on the web portal, log in, I get the site that starts with com.simplisafe.mobile://

I copy and paste that into the field and restart HomeKit. It fails with error “no valid authentication credentials detected” and “not authenticated to simplisafe”

I’ve spent hours trying this from different devices and different browsers. Yes I saw where it says on chrome to open developer tools to get the redirect web site.

Please help

Blank Accessories tab / bridges stopped working. Any ideas?

My accessories are clearly detected by Homebridge - when their status changes, I get messages in the Homebridge logs about it

However, when I go to the Accessories tab, it's completely blank

Hi all! I run Homebridge on a raspberry pi 4b, and have never had issues until now. I recently restarted my pi from scratch (as in, reformatted the sd card and re-installed a fresh version of pi lite on it (same as what I had installed before)) and after that, I've had an interesting problem where the Accessories tab is empty and the bridges I set up stop working. The weird part is, my setup works just fine for the first few hours or so... but then (something?) happens and it puts me into this weird state where everything is broken. I've tried re-starting with a fresh raspberry pi install a few times, and each time it'll work for an hour or two and then it'll stop working. Uninstalling/reinstalling Homebridge doesn't make it work, though - I've tried both with reloading a previous configuration and starting fresh, it doesn't make a difference. Has anybody experienced the same issue on a raspberry pi?

For what it's worth, someone else experienced this issue on a Mac (link to Reddit post) but I haven't been able to figure out a way to translate their solution over to a raspberry pi... anyways, if anybody has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I've spent forever googling trying to track down what could be causing this, and I haven't found anything useful. Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance!!

Running Homebridge On Windows

Hi All, I’m installing Homebridge on an extra PC running Windows 10 that I’ve got hanging around. Looking through the documentation, I see that you can either run it natively under windows as a service, or through a VM. The documentation states that running it natively under windows might cause some issues, but doesn’t really provide any examples. So for anyone who is currently running it under windows, are you having any issues with it? Would I be fine just running it as a service, or should I go through and set up a VM first?

Add Homebridge to Home

Homebridge running on unRAID server (x.x.2.x, ethernet only, no wifi card) and iOS on Wifi (x.x.1.x)

How do I add the bridge?

EDIT - mDNS repeater turned on and it works!
