State awareness

Plugin works well but HomeKit is unaware when the Sky Q box is switched on/off via the normal remote (i.e. will report off when on or vice versa).

Would it be possible to add in this power state awareness? Maybe via something like this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/sky-q

Thanks.

Homebridge won't run after adding plugin

I have added a couple of plugins to my homebridge, but I wanted to add my Sky Q to it also, ive installed the plugin using npm. I have added my Sky box IP in the config file. But when I go to run homebridge in terminal, it says it cannot read my config file. Although when I remove the bit for sky in the config file, it'll work straight away.

I assume it's my error rather than anything else in the coding.

My config file looks like this when I add sky:

Could you guys please tell me what I'm doing wrong, because as I say, when I remove the sky bit from accessories, it works fine again.

Thanks.

Channel Switches triggering Aqara Alarm

Bit of a random one and really odd but after some advice please?
I’ve added a few channel switches and they work fine no problem when selecting them in the Apple Home App. But when I say hey Siri to my HomePod followed by the channel I want it changes the channel no problem but it Arms my Aqara Alarm! I have no automations linking these and it’s only started doing it in the last couple of days. Anybody have any ideas please?
Thanks Paul

Additional switches for single commands

Could it be possible to add an additional switch for each cmd, instead of activating the cmd only when you power on the sky box with the main switch?

Sky Stream/Sky Glass

I have recently moved over to use the Sky Stream appliance in place of my old Sky Q box. Is it possible to add the ability to control this device through the plugin, or is there an alternate available that anybody is aware of? thanks

ECONNREFUSED / ETIMED OUT

Hi,

I've suddenly started getting this error with my Sky Q box. It shows as 'No response' in the Home app and doesn't function in Homebridge itself. If I disable the WiFi on Sky Q and turn it on again (changing again to the static IP), it works.

It hasn't ever done this before, only in the last couple of days where it's happened twice.

Any ideas what the issue may be? Also worth adding that I'm using the 'no-logs' fork by Joe Pool.

Thanks for your help.

Sky-Q + Sky Mini

How can you declare two box (Sky Q and Sky Mini)

I tried

{
"accessory": "SkyQ",
"name": "Sky Q Box",
"ipAddress": "10.0.x.x"
},{
"accessory": "SkyQ",
"name": "Sky Q Mini",
"ipAddress": "10.0.x.x"
}

Fastforward

Does anyone know of a way to control the fastforward command so that it can be set to fast forward in 1, 2 or 3 minute segments.

My thinking is that if I could command Siri to ‘skip forward 3 minutes’ the fast forward command would commence and run for a set time frame so that it stops exactly 3 minutes further along the timeline of play. Thereby skipping adverts.

Logging too noisy

My logs have loads of this:-

[1/17/2020, 09:16:31] [Sky] Sky is in standby :-(
[1/17/2020, 09:16:34] [Sky] Sky is in standby :-(
[1/17/2020, 09:16:46] [Sky] Sky is in standby :-(
[1/17/2020, 09:16:48] [Sky] Sky is in standby :-(

Can we have a switch to stop logging unless it's an error?
