problem with /api/devices

---

Hello … Today I have a problem with /api/devices. Pimatic works very well. The only problem is when I try to use Pimate (ios) and Pimatic Location (ios).

The only user is admin.

  "error [pimatic]: Error on incoming http request to /api/devices: User not 
 found "

I tried http://admin:pass@External IP/api/devices . The same error.

Thanks in advance for answers.

@andi-tudor getting something similar the last days:
Error on incoming http request to /api/device/wakeonlan_xxx/buttonPressed: User not found

The user exists in the config file. Also many reboots didn’t help. This action is triggered via pimatic-node-red, due to the fact, that buttonPressed doesn’t work using the node-red nodes.

Same here. I make requests to variable with python and http basic auth. It works fine until a few days ago. I get User not found messages. I checked the config and the user exists and btw, i’m the user and i can login per webfrontend.

Strange. Works for me. Do you get error messages in the log?

nope, only this also
[pimatic] error: Error on incoming http request to /api/variables/stromkosten-keller.Kosten%20heute: User not found

Same here. User not found.
My sh script asks for variable value via curl. Works fine for month until i updated 2 plugins:
Amazon echo plugin
And
A second one i cant remember. How can i find this out if it is important?
After plugin installation and restart the system throws USER NOT FOUND

Are you guys all using pimatic-echo? If yes, you may want to try to roll back to version pimatic-echo@0.5.2

@michbeck100 I think it may be the following commit is causing the issue: https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-echo/commit/c4100ca190e1f27fca4388f787b1335960e7caa5

Yes. I use pimatic-echo.

I am also using pimatic-echo

I use it also. Will try to roll back.

I didn’t roll back, but i deleted this line https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-echo/commit/c4100ca190e1f27fca4388f787b1335960e7caa5
and it works now. So this is definitely the problem.

@mwittig, @ManuelW
Thank you very much. It works now after I’ve deleted the line 100 (+ //api/.+/,)

Who will fix the echo plugin?
I dont like to change code by myself. Thats not really a longterm solution.

@michbeck100
Could you please have a look

@dk00000 said in problem with /api/devices:

I dont like to change code by myself. Thats not really a longterm solution.

You can downgrade (see my earlier post). Another workaround is to setup a separate endpoint for the hue emulation server by configuring a different port. This way the plugin will start a separate web server for the hue emulation. https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-echo/blob/master/echo-config-schema.coffee#L16-L19

@mwittig Thanks for pointing that out! As for now only the echo dot is supported, there is actually currently no point in setting the port to 80 anymore.
I should actually remove that feature again.

I did merge https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-echo/pull/57 which removes this line BUT I’m pretty sure that the initial search for devices will fail, if you are using port 80, as the echo won’t be able to create a new user. I can’t prove this right now, but i will remove the code for compatibility on port 80 completely. In the next version of pimatic-echo the default port will be 9876 again. If you still try to share port 80 you will get an error message, that this port is not available. This makes the code easier again.
I hope that very user reads the change log before updating

And this might also require to run the device search on alexa again. Sorry for that!

Just updated the code: https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-echo/commit/9ab7fd04354655af9a1be45b9fe9d21eef5f8e1d

Everyone who had this problem, please try the version from github. Remember that you might have to run the device search again, if Alexa doesn’t find your devices anymore after the update.
