homekit2mqtt stops working after some hours.

[mattsheffiel]

Is there anything in /home/pi/homekit2mqtt/log/?

[JuanGrados]

Hi,

yes, the two files I just copied there.
Should be some there something else?

[mattsheffiel]

Sorry, I misread your message earlier. What would be more useful to see is the debug information that gets printed out when you run the command. Because you are using nohup this is getting hidden. Check and see if you have a file called nohup.out. If so check and see if that has some output and post that.

Are you running the command on the Raspberry Pi with a wired keyboard and mouse or are you doing this remotely with SSH?

[JuanGrados]

Hi,

I am connecting remotely with ssh.

Yes I have the info, but I do not see anything strange, it goes like:

it keeps updating the temperature and humidity, reconects to the iPhone when I use it:

and at some point it just stops, no notification or anything, just stops sending and receiving messages.

But I cannot find a patter, I left it last night running and this time keeps running without any problem so far.
Is it another way to get more debug info?

Thanks!

[JuanGrados]

For now it looks like that it is working fine.
I do not know what was.
If the problem comes back I will keep you informed.

Cheers

I would suggest not to use nohup but pm2. This also takes care of log file rotation and can restart the service if it crashes (what it shouldn't, but you never know ;-)

Will close the issue for now, feel free to reopen if you have problems again
