fauxmo issue with CommandLinePlugin object

[ripface]

Hi,

I recently built a Raspberry Pi with Bookworm and installed an IR transmitter to control our lounge fire via Alexa. It works great!!

I decided to implement a similar setup to control our electric bed so we could raise and lower them when we want to watch TV. I had a spare Raspberry Pi 3 and loaded up Bookworm, installed lirc and fauxmo and thought this would be an easy job.

Hmm ....

Having all sorts of problems with Fauxmo. When I start up Fauxmo I am getting weird errors related to CommandLinePlugin that I've not seen before, and have never seen on my other pi.

"AttributeError: 'CommandLinePlugin' object has no attribute '_latest_action'

Could not understand what was going on, so performed a clean install of bookworm, and started from scratch. I was surprised when I completed the install that I was getting exactly the same errors reported while running fauxmo. Have you seen anything like this before, it happens even with a small test.json with only one device in it.

Thanks!

Just as an update, I checked my Pi3 today and discovered that although the error messages above are still manifesting, the fauxmo package is actually working ok and I can control the beds in the bedroom using Alexa. I guess I just need to sort out how to stop /var/log/syslog from filling up the root filesystem now ..... but it would be nice to have a resolution to this instead of managing the symptoms ....

Have you asked in fauxmo forums and GitHub repositories? The issue doesn't see directly related to the Infrared pHAT so I think fauxmo experts can give you some valuable guidelines how to fix these issues.

Have you considered using logrotate? It rotates and compresses system logs.
