    Basically, yes. And in addition, I also have posted a revised/updated HomeSeer plugin and you can check the wiki pages for that for additional information. See https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebr...er-plugin-2018 and https://github.com/jvmahon/homebridg...ion-and-Errors

    I use the 'systemd' method of starting Homebridge and HomeSeer. An important point is to have Hombridge start *After* Homeseer so the plugin can obtain needed data fro HomeSeer during its startup. That's explained in the "Linux-Installation-and-Errors " wiki page that I identified, above.

        Are you using the new plugin homebridge-homeseer-plugin-2018, or the older version homebridge-homeseer-plugin?

        If you are using the newer version, homebridge-homeseer-plugin-2018, raise the issue on the github page and I'll help you. https://github.com/jvmahon/homebridge-homeseer/issues

            I can help you, but please post it as an issue in the homebridge-homeseer-plugin-2018 github page which you can find here: https://github.com/jvmahon/homebridge-homeseer

            As a starting point, make sure you check the Wiki page here: https://github.com/jvmahon/homebridge-homeseer/wiki
            See the entries on the home wiki page under "3. Setting Up YOur Config.json file"

            In general, each dimmer is set up using an entry in the "accessories":{ } section of the form: {"type":"Lightbulb", "ref":400 },
            i.e., like this:



            "accessories":{
            {"type":"Lightbulb", "ref":400 },
            {"type":"Lightbulb", "ref":410 },
            {"type":"Lightbulb", "ref":420 }
            }


            Rather than set an entry for each dimmer, if you are using ZWave switches, you can set up a group entry using the "lightbulbs" config.json entry as shown in the example configuration file and as explained in the wiki section I mentioned above.

              If you run Raspberry Pi3 B+ , you need to use the absolute latest Rasbian stretch for the pi to boot at all.
              Thereafter you can install the Homebridge 2018 plugin

              The ready image will not work on B+

                Hi Guys, my homekit has stopped working, I've not made any changes. Looking at the logs on my pi, I can see that it's talking to homeseer, but the devices on my phone say "no Response"
                has anyone else had this?

                  Are you remote or on your local LAN? If remote, did you check if your hub (Apple TV or HomePod) is up?

                      I've tried local and remote, with same results, I've rebooted, homeseer, the pi, and apple tv, still the same.

                      in the daemon.log I can see the following:

                      looks like its just my phone which is the issue???

                      Comment


                        It looks like you are using the older plugin which hasn't been updated in a while. Consider using the "homebridge-homeseer-plugin-2018" version. https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebr...er-plugin-2018

                        Comment


                          thanks for the info, I'll try and do an update,

                          Can I use my old config after the update?

                          Is there a new version of the homebridge config maker too?

                          Comment


                            Some of the config.json parameters have been changed so your old config. might not work. You can give it a try - the plugin will reject it if it has incorrect parameters. And there is enough changed that you may have to delete the bridge and re-add it to your iOS Home app - so realize that this can all take some time as iOS Automations may have to be re-worked.

                            In the end, I'd recommend just deleting the current bridge setup and re-adding. You'll find the new plugin much more responsive and it provides instant status updates, so I think it worth the time.
