Server plugin for homebridge

homebridge-server's Issues

Log page

On the log page it would be great if you could jump to the newest log entries by clicking a button.

And filtering the logs by plugin would be great but maybe not that easy to implement.

Prevent re-adding already existing entries

Localhost:8765 doesn't do anything

Finally got this first 'platform' to work without any strange errors. But can't seem to get into the interface. http://localhost:8765 doesn't do anything. My config.json file is located in /home/pi/.homebridge/

Any idea how to fix this?

Confirmation window before removing

Is it possible to add a window where you confirm that the platform or accessory should be removed?
That would be great.
btw love your work!

Crash when opening Homebridge configuration page

Hi,

When I open the configuration page, The Homebridge NodeJE crashes, all other functions, like backup, log, plugins and reboot do work as expected. See attached screenshot for the error.

Im running it on a RPi with only the HomeSeer plugin installed.

Best regards,

Rien

log - use of journalctl requires sudo

the use of journalctl in my raspberry pi requires me to run the command using sudo i.e. "sudo journalctl --no-pager -u homebridge --since yesterday". can this be an option added to the config file?

thanks

Installing Error

When i'm trying to install the homebridge-server plugin on my Homebridge (macOS 10.13.2) with the command "sudo npm install homebridge-server@latest -g" (without quotes of course) the Terminal gives me an error (See screenshot).
Even if i try without the "Sudo" flag in the command.

For people who are curious about the log output: here it is >

2018-01-01T14_21_55_591Z-debug.log

Can anybody help me with this error so i can run the plugin?
Thnx anyway!

try the 'Log' page then throw this

Hi.

When I run the homebridge after installing, I get this.

Do I need to nano in to the api.js and do something or?

Issues with proxy_pass

Basically, I use nginx to forward homebridge-server (with HTTPS and username / password authentication), so that I can have remote access, as my setup is a headless Ubuntu Server. However I found that when setting the "add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;" header, the proxy pass, now returns the page as raw HTML. Commenting out this line fixes this issue, but since I also happen to host a Wordpress on my server (on a different domain of course), this line is very important to me...

Graphics changed?

Today i opened my homebridge server and i seen this graphics.

And works bad.

restart does nothing

tried "systemctl restart homebridge.service"

and "service homebridge restart". In Terminal, I can see

[Homebridge Server] Executing: service homebridge restart

but it does nothing..

Does not work with journalctl and sudo

Restart command added as follows:

"sudo service homebridge restart" but that doesn't work since it can't authenticate

Logging when put systemd as logging source doesn't work either, logging comes from journalctl here...

Option to update Plugins

Is it possible to add the option to update plugins that have available updates? Right now it looks like the only option is install or uninstall. I'm not sure if this is possible but it would be a great addition if it is. Thank you!

Platform does not load

It seems like a few people have had similar issues but I tried those "fixes" already.

This is running on Pi with systemd.

if I remove the [] in platforms it runs homebridge but the server does not load,

"platforms": { "platform": "Server", "port": 8765, "name": "Homebridge Server", "log": "systemd", "config": "/usr/local/etc/homebridge", "restart": "sudo systemctl restart homebridge" }

if I remove the definition it runs homebridge no problem.

"platforms": [ ]

Trying to install homebridge-server

I installed the plugin with that:

[sudo] npm install homebridge-server@latest -g

and added this code to the config.json in systemd:

cannot load (or find) log file

I cannot load the log file through the webpage. /showLog eventually times out.

At first I thought I just had to specify a logfile path and location for the homebridge-server plugin, afterwards I realized that I was maybe supposed to link to the actual log file of homebridge. But when I then tried to find how that file should be named, I couldn't find it back. I then tried to look for files that could look like they were the log files, but no luck again neither.

I am running homebridge on OSX, automatically starting it with Launchd as explained on
https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/wiki/Install-Homebridge-on-OSX

Pretty sure it's something stupid, but just can't find it right now...

Thanks, Jurgen

what can i do ?

restart not working (Mac launchd)

I'm using...
"restart" : "launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.homebridge.server.plist && launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.homebridge.server.plist"
...for restart in config.json, but it doesn't seem to be working. It does work in Terminal.

When I use the Restart button on the web ui, it appears to unload fine, but then never reloads.

I'm running on a Mac, using launchd

npm install|uninstall not working

There is an issue with running plugin (un)installs. The commands in index.js should get prepended "sudo " (e.g. sudo npm install -g ...). Otherwise allowing npm in sudoers file wouldn't make sense as described in wiki. Patching as mentioned allows plugins to be installed correctly while executing homebridge as a service via systemd.

Another patch possibility would be to allow to specify npm base command via config.json file as done for rebooting homebridge or the whole raspberry.

Thank you!

Can make it to work - please assist

Server does not find config.json, if location is specified with --user-storage-path

If the directory containing config.json is specified with -U, life is good: homebridge starts. Otherwise, if the directory containing config.json is specified with --user-storage-path, homebridge fails to start because homebridge-server raises an exception.

Here are the relevant log entries:

Reboot issue on MacOS

Launching using a LaunchAgent in the auto-login user's Library. My reboot command is now just 'launchctl unload /Users/*/Library/LaunchAgents/*****.plist' because I'm just trying to get the single command to work. The page just spins but the plist is never unloaded. I wouldn't think I need to do any special permissioning as I am launch HomeBridge via the same launching account, an account that I can interactively unload the plist without any sudo necessary. Anyone see this on MacOS?

Crash on Backup

As soon as i click the Backup option it crashes the site.
All other options work.
http://i.imgur.com/3eSmrkI.png

Maybe this error which I got by email has something to do with it?
raspberrypi : Dec 31 02:25:10 : homebridge : user NOT in sudoers ; TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/reboot

Here's my config.json: http://i.imgur.com/eLvkBN8.png

Also one more small thing: you might want to include jquery because bootstrap needs it: http://i.imgur.com/XS4Epmz.png

HomeBridge Server on Windows 10 Log Path trouble

Hello!
First off thank you for your amazing work. Its very fancy!
I have a few things I would like help with.
I am currently running HomeBridge Server on Windows 10 and it seems to be running ok.
The problem I have is that if I add anything other than "system" for the log path entry here:
"platform": "Server",
"port" : 8765,
"name" : "Homebridge Server",
"log" : "<PATH_TO_YOUR_LOG_FILE>",
"restart" : "<COMMAND_TO_EXECUTE>"

The service does not start.
Ive tried windows variable paths,
UNC paths such as "C:\Users\Username\output.log
and even c:\users\username\Output.log.

Neither option works and therefor stops the service from running.
I can leave it systemd but when I click the log tab in the interface the service crashes.

Also, for the restart value I want to either stop/start the task or even just execute shutdown /r /t 0 and I have a script that starts the service on reboot. Neither option seems to be allowed and does not allow the service to start.

Any advice?

Hotlinking issue

Well, you really should not hotlink a JS file. That's a nogo

//raw.githubusercontent.com/jdorn/json-editor/master/dist/jsoneditor.js

systemd service log settings

If using systemd to autostart homebridge, how would one configure the logs?

no logs

My bridge is using "systemd", but the logfiles are empty. Well, my 4th issue. Guess this is a big alpha state-plugin, not really working for me, as I still have to do so much on terminal everytime.

As soon as I click on plugins, the server crashes.

Then auto-restart from homebridge.service kicks in and reboots.

Platform not loading

Hi,

I have recently installed homebridge-server and updated the config.json (below):

{
"bridge": {
"name": "HomeBridge",
"username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
"port": 51826,
"pin": "031-45-453"
},
"description": "HomeBridge",
"accessories": [{
"accessory": "HiveThermostat",
"name": "Hive Thermostat",
"username": "login",
"password": "password"
}
],
"platform": [{
"platform": "Server",
"port": 8765,
"name": "Homebridge Server",
"log": "systemd",
"config": "/usr/local/etc/homebridge",
"restart": "sudo systemctl restart homebridge"
}]
}

The code compiles without error on JSONLint

When I start Homebridge I see the following lines:

As you can see 0 platforms have loaded.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance

Possibility to define the "system" log name

Hi,
First of all great plugin and thanks for the job so far done. I ahem implemented the plugin and it works. However I have one minus. I am using multiple instances of home bridge on my server (due to the reason splitting stable from non stable plugins without crashing all my system). This also includes the my system log must be extended with an different search string e.g. "homebridge-main"

Could you make an update to add this configuration as an optional value, so that you aren to only make a call with the hardcoded standard call. For example:

{
    "platform": "Server",
    "port": 8765,
    "name": "Homebridge Server",
    "log" : "systemd"
    **"System-string" : "homebridge-main"**
}

Many Thanks in advance

can get it to work right

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. this is the only plug in I can get to work correctly.

Some plugins don't use their plugin-name for the accessory or platform name

Either read in the repositories config.json for the name to use or leave it open to the user

Understanding the installation process

Hi,

Firstly, I am very sorry for these naive questions.

I am an absolute novice. I have managed to get homebridge installed and I am currently running a platform.

I have been having issues trying to add a second platform and when I found your solution I thought it might help me, however, I am having issues getting it installed as I do not know what some of the items and terms used in your installation section mean.

 "log"     : "<PATH_TO_YOUR_LOG_FILE>",
"restart" : "<COMMAND_TO_EXECUTE>"

I have Homebridge installed on a mac mini and to start the homebridge I simply type homebridge into a terminal window and it starts it and I am under the impression when I close the terminal window it then stops the homebridge running.

So, therefore, I am asking for more detail with regards to the correct information I should be using for both the log and the restart above.

Thank in advance for any help you can give me.

Server working, but the site closes upon trying to make a change.

Everything seems to work fine, but clicking ANY of the buttons on the website results in my browser saying the server dropped the connection, so the whole thing is pretty useless. I can open the website again in a new window.
