ERROR: The request timed out -- Downloading update control file: Error: SendFailure

[matt1t]

I've seem to have hit the same issue. Thanks for posting this as it gave me the information I needed!

I'm on CentOS, so you need to run:
cert-sync /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

If anyone else encounters this, it seems some upgrade of Mono (C#) didn't keep the SSL CA certificates.

apt install ca-certificates-mono

plus a restart of HomeSeer (I don't know if the restart was needed) got me going again. The exact command for your Linux distro may vary.

I have a similar problem as in this 2017 thread. Searching past forum posts, I wasn't able to find a solution.

I go to Plug-Ins -> Manage. "Additional Interfaces" section says "ERROR: The request timed out".

Using the "Update Listing" button waits for a long time, then shows the same thing.

When starting up HomeSeer the logs say "Error Downloading update control file: Error: SendFailure (Error writing headers)"

Selecting any plugin and trying to update results in the download taking a long time and results in "Error saving the downloaded file: error". The logs say "Error downloading package HSPI_HSBuddy.exe:The request timed out" and "Updater Error saving the downloaded file: error"

On the host machine (Linux) I'm able to manually download http://www.homeseer.com/updates3/updater.txt

This feels like a directory permission issue. The service runs as root, so permissions should not be an issue.

It also feels like it could be lake of drive space. There are multiple gigs free on all partitions.

The info from the about page is below.

Any suggestions on next steps for troubleshooting?
