Plugin does not detect when Xbox is on

Open harveyadcock opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

The plugin doesn't appear to be able to tell when the Xbox is on (original Xbox One I'm using, with the latest homebridge and homebridge-smartglass). Can turn the Xbox on from both the Homebridge UI and from iOS Home app/Siri, but after a few seconds, the device goes back to appearing to be off in the Home app.

For the few seconds it appears to be on in the Home app, I can actually turn the Xbox off again, so that command works! But Siri ignores commands to turn off a device which iOS already believes is off, so this breaks Siri use for turning it off, plus having to tap once, wait a second, then tap again to turn off the Xbox is a little annoying. I imagine this would also break the ability to use other instructions like changing apps and the volume, but I was mostly interested in the ability to turn on/off with Siri for now.

I have done some more fiddling and cant get it to detected if it on but I can turn it on and off and as that happens it sets to other few 10 seconds then defaults to off this is with a xbox one x

Can you check in the settings if Anonymous access is allowed? https://github.com/unknownskl/homebridge-smartglass#setting-up-the-xbox

If that doesn't fix the problem then it might be a wrong ip address or homebridge is not able to connect to your xbox over the network.

I can turn it on but not off unless i press the on button first but then after a few seconds it shows as off again. The remote control gives an error in the console and I cant switch apps.
