"Device address already exists" errors in startup logs, but all is working..

[RobCrisp]

This is the error I get when the system starts up. All seams to be working but is this something I need to be concerned about? I am running v 4.0.4.5 of the plugin.

I'll check. It shouldn't be an issue, I just added more checks.

[EDIT]

I can't reproduce the issue, do you get it on every start-up?

[randy]

I’ve never contacted you about it, but I get the same errors at almost every startup of HS. I also get lots of the warnings at the top of this screenshot. Everything is working.

I need to check "Device address already exists" errors, but I don't get them, so it's harder to find.

Regarding BPUP warnings - it only bounces if there are comms issues, but you don't seem to have any errors in the log.

randy RobCrisp The two dots are actually part of the address? Can you please check if the device with this address actually exists? What device is it?

[randy]

AJ11979 is the Bond device. I don’t find an AJ11979..

I would not understand comms issues. The bridge is within 5 feet of a UniFi AP. My network is robust and reliable. I’ll monitor it with UniFi and with my Network monitoring plug-in to see if it drops.

I'm having the exact issue with Device address already exists errors. I'm also seeing the Bond Bridge referenced twice in the AK-Bond Plug-In drop down. One of the devices is identified by the address "ZZFA88578" and the other is simply identified as "Bond Bridge". But they are exactly the same. I've shut down the plug in, deleted all devices, rebooted the Bond Bridge and enable the plugin. All devices get re-created but with the same errors. But everything seems to work.... hmmm.

Cheers!

AK-Bond Version 4.0.4.5

HS4 Pro Edition 4.2.16.0 (Windows) on Windows 10

BETA 4.0.4.6 - Fixed adding the Bridge device in menu twice

It's caused by mDNS returning only the bridge ID (i.e. "ZZFA88578"), then after I create the devices and communicate with the bridge - I get the bridge name configured in the App, so I rename the devices.

This is still happening. Don’t know if it was addressed in the beta. Let me know if you need more information.

BETA 4.0.4.6 fixes the other issue garciacg described.

I'm still looking into "Device address already exists" error. Unfortunately I can't reproduce.

BETA 4.0.4.7 - Fixed "Device address already exists" error

[RobCrisp]

Thanks! I no longer get the errors.

Do you still get BPUP warnings?

Do you still get BPUP warnings?

Yes, still happening. Might be less frequently.
