Plugin appears to come up and connect but temperature sensors read 0

[tmwong2003]

Describe The Bug:

I am trying to setup the homebridge-synology plugin to connect to a Synology DS420j running DSM 7.1-42661 Update 3. The plugin comes up, but the accessories appear with the Synology powered off and zero-value temperatures. I know the Synology is up, because my homebridge is running on the Synology itself.

To Reproduce:

1. Create a dedicated administrative account on the Synology.
2. Disable auto-block (#59).
3. Configure homebridge-synology as shown in the config below.

Expected behavior:

• Diskstation plugin power button is on
• Temperature gauges read above 0º C.

I confirm to have the same issue (as reported by many others in the Issues section). Hope there will be a comment / solution soon available.

Same problem here. Do you have it on https and local network? I think it may be not working because of self-signed certificate not being allowed.

Switched the plugin config such that "protocol": "http" and "port": 5000, but now I see a different error in the log:

[9/29/2022, 11:36:18 AM] [DiskStation] Device is not online; Polling temperature disabled.
[9/29/2022, 11:36:18 AM] [DiskStation] Device is not online; Polling disk temperature disabled.

The Synology is online since it is hosting the HomeBridge. If this was an authentication issue between the plugin and the Synology would I see a different error?

I tried setting "host" to either "127.0.0.1" (i.e., localhost) or the actual IP address of the Synology, but still see the "Device is not online" error.
