[RELEASE] Homebridge SmartThings v2.0

Skates · July 7, 2020, 7:55pm

A second issue I have with a door contact sensor, its not picking up the contact part just the battery.

Any ideas on how to get this working?

I am using the following device type: Z-Wave Door/Window Sensor

Managed to get this all working. Great. But does anyone know how to run the homebridge command on a pi shell as a background app?

And secondly, how to have it auto run on boot, and auto restart on fail.

Thanks

there is a new homebridge pi image. It can be found in the Homebridge Wiki on GitHub

I use pm2 as the process manager for auto start on boot, log management, etc.

Same here PM2 for auto start. I am also using Homebridge Config UI X, which makes for a really polished solution. Everything is really rock solid.

My Konnected sensors in SmartThings update in near realtime. I added the Homebridge smart app and have homebridge running on raspberry pi (most up-to-date versions), and the sensors in Homekit don’t seem to change state. Is there a refresh or something I can change to help? I can turn the siren on/off from Homekit, so stuff seems to be talking… Any idea what I’ve got wrong here?

I have been trying to install Homebridge v.2 but I keep getting stuck at the final stage because the App does not save my device selections and nothing showing up in my Home app.

I am able to install Homebridge and the Smartthings Plugin on my Raspberry Pi; the Smart App installs on my iPad without any problems and generates the configuration data; and the Home app finds Homebridge and lets me add it. But when I select devices in the Smart App, it does not save my selections and no devices show up in the Home app. The Smart App also does not save my setting when I try to disable SMH on the Homebridge App. I first tried installing with the classic Smartthings app without success. I tried using the new Smartthings App and it did seem to hold my my settings but the devices still failed to appear in the Home app. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Homebridge, the Rpi plugin and the Smart App multiple times but the problem persists.

Any advice? I am a complete novice, so I won’t be able to do any complicated coding. I had used Homebridge in the past and it worked flawessly. Any chance the earlier version is still available for me to try? Thanks!

I noticed for me with Homekit that sometimes status for devices take longer time to display. For automation this status is sometimes available earlier that it displays in the app. Can you check if it is really not updating or just displaying the update late?

pizzinini · July 31, 2020, 2:22pm

Can you please post what you get in the log (IDE).

Also, post 119 above had a similar problem. Maybe that fixes it for you.

Hi, this is the log from Config UI X. I only included the most recent logs from my last attempt to run Homebridge. This time, I was able to save my device selections in the Smartthings Smart App, but the devices still do not show up in the Home app.

Can you please also post your logs from here:

https://graph.api.smartthings.com/ide/logs

This will help tell what’s going on on the Smartapp side.

robgold · August 1, 2020, 11:36am

Here is what I got when I refreshed the Smart App at 7:19 AM with just 6 Z-Wave lights selected (O/D - Back Patio Lanterns, O/D - Drive Steps lantern, O/D - West Yard Lantern, O/D Drive Entrance Lantern, O/D Driveway Lantern and )/D Front Steps Lantern). I only selected the portion that seemed relevant, but I am not very experienced with this so please let me know if you need something different.
