[pimatic-hap] Support for pimatic homekit bridge

---

I have added the debug option into pimatic settings of config.json. But i can’t see any entries from had in the pimatic-deamon.log when i try to add pimatic in the Home app. Do i need to set an debug entry for the hap plugin too?

"settings": {
"debug": true,
"logLevel": "debug",

add the

"debug": true,

to the config of the plugin.

{
  "plugin": "hap",
  "debug": true
},

error [pimatic]: Invalid config of pimatic-hap: Property “debug” is not a valid property

yes but it still should work, at least for me it did.

how can i ignore devices??

{
  "id": "huekueche",
  "class": "HueZLLColorLight",
  "hueId": 7,
  "name": "HUE Küche",
  "hap": {
    "exclude": true
  }
},

does no work

error [pimatic-hap]: Could not call promise: Error while changing light state: Internal error, 404

@t1m0 the config looks good. The error sounds like something else. Please create an issue here: https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-hap/issues

I just removed the pimatic bridge because I wanted to setup everything from scratch but now my iPhone can’t find the bridge anymore.

I tried the following already:

1. Rstart my iPhone
2. Restart pimatic
3. De-activate and re-activate the plugin
4. Obviously re-starting pimatic

Besides that I think I found a little bug: if I tell Siri to set the temperature to x, it instead increases the temperature by x as long as x is higher than the current temperature. If it’s lower, it deducts the x from the current temperature.

@GuybrushMR80 How did you remove it?

feature request
I use the ELV MAX! Thermostates with pimatic-hap. The homkit modes doesnt work with that (have never worked).
The homekit thermostat modes are “off, warm, cold, automatic” and form ELV MAX! are “auto, manu, boost” and there are “eco and comfy” themperatur settings.

The modes should work like:

homekit - ELV MAX!

automatic - auto
off - manu
cold - eco
warm - comfy

Is that possible?

@michbeck100 directly from within the apple Home app (seems to remove it for the whole system as also 3rd party apps can’t find it anymore)

@GuybrushMR80 When i’m developing, i’m starting a dev homekit bridge, which i remove and add without any problems. So this works without any problems. Apart from deleting the hap-database folder in pimatic and resetting the homekit settings, i don’t know what else to do.

Sorry for my late answer. Today i had time to check the debug messages when i try to add my pimatic in Home on iOS.

I hope this helps finding the problem.

@daice it seems that after pairing you are immediately unpaired again. Unfortunately it doesn’t tell me why. I think it could help if you delete the hap-database folder in your pimatic installation and then restart pimatic. Then please try to pair with the HomeKit bridge again. My guess is, that in the database a different client is already registered and that’s why you are immediately unpaired.

I have deleted the database and resarted pimatic, deleted database + complete plugin and tried to reset my phone/icloud.
It is not working for me…

@daice that’s all I can say. There’s not really more you can do. Anyone experienced the same problems?

@daice Have you renamed the Pimatic Bridge? After I have upgraded to pimatic v0.9 I needed to rename it to make it work again. Best regards, Frank

Thanks for the hint but it doesn’t work for me. I also tried to change the pin, without success.

@daice All you can do is to delete the hap-database folder, reset your homekit settings on your apple device and restart pimatic. Sorry if that doesn’t work for you.

Just to let you all know, i’ve just released version 0.8.1 of pimatic-hap. I definitely hope this fixes some of the infinite loops issues some of you guys have. Please test and report if there are any issues.
