HB - randomly No respone in homekit app

[JacekKac]

HB running with few plugins one of them is homebridge-ewelink v10.4.0. Few sonoff devices linked, everythink is running OK but randomly homekit app gives no responding for this accessories - in the same time they are working in web panel of homebride and i can use them. After restarting homebridge devices are once again responding and working ok also in homekit app.

Any ideas how to debug/fix this ?

p.s. at the same time other plugins are working fine in home app

Logs:

I have Downgrade Homebridge to 1.5.1 than its works

[JacekKac]

@Themaster312 issues also with ewlink plugin ?

[Themaster312]

Yes

[Themaster312]

I have downgrade my Homebridge to 1.5.1 and it works

[Themaster312]

if someone gets it running with 1.6 write here then I can do the update again

i am running homebridge 1.6 with the plugin fine 😄

[Themaster312]

I'm running 1.6 for 2 hours or until a restart and 1.5.1 has been running for 2 days now

I just don't know why it's like that for me, there are no errors, nothing

[bwp91]

can you post your config? please hash out %%% any emails and passwords etc

oh so a pretty standard config 🧐

[Themaster312]

Yes and 39 devices are also loaded and either run for 2 hours or after a restart there is no response ,in Homebridge ist works but everything just doesn't work in the HomeKit app After Thies Time of a restart

[bwp91]

the issue could be down to many reasons so what i suggest may work for one but not another. (disclosure!)

if you go to the homebridge settings what do you have as the mDNS advertiser?

[Themaster312]

Ciao as advertiser

[Themaster312]

and after a restart all are without response, if I empty the cache then everything goes again for the time x

[JacekKac]

i am using avahi, it could be connected to 1.6 code because i used < 1.6 it earlier without problems, not sure the exact dates of upgrade/problems but could be worth of checking

[bwp91]

just wanted to initially check that you are using a different ewelink account credentials in the plugin compared to the ewelink app?

if you use the same in both places then stuff is gonna go wrong

[JacekKac]

As i said plugin is working in homebridge UI addon even if HomeKit shows No responding. In my case its not connected with configuration

[bwp91]

yeah alright i’m just trying to rule stuff out first
