SmartHome device no longer found

[bernd70]

After updating to v4.x a SmartHome device (Fritz!Dect outlet) connected to the FritzBox is no longer avaiable.

The FritzBox itself is found.

In my configuration I added:

"smarthome": {
"Espressomaschine": {
"active": true,
"devtype": "switch",
"ain": "",
"tempSensor": true,
"unit": "celsius"
}
},

I tried "type": "switch" and "devtype": "switch"; found both in the documentation.
I tried with an without the "active" tag.

I use the oznu/homebridge docker image, the homebridge version is 0.4.49.

With 3.x I was able to use the outlet as expected.

Any idea how to analyze this further?

Regards
Bernd

The last lines do not sound promising :-)

But what do I do?

[seydx]

hm the plugin removed the config from FritzPlatform?

[bernd70]

It did from time to time but right now it remains in the config.
Both the FritzBox device entry and the smarthome entry.

What abount the follogin options:

• disableAutoSearch: true
• clearCache: false
• disableAutoConfig: false

Are these correct?

[seydx]

If u have not any problems with auto search i would recommend to turn off ‚disableAutoSearch‘

So:

disableAutoSearch: false
clearCache: false
disableAutoConfig: false

[bernd70]

disableAutoSearch: false lead to removing the FritBox from the devices.

Any more ideas or directions how to analyze?

@bernd70

in smarthome devtype need to be called "devType"

and the unit can be removed from config.json

if you want to see the fritzbox in your config.json you need to activate it >> "active": true

[bernd70]

Didn't expect the tags to be case sensitive. That solved it.
Remove the unit as well.
I do know about the active flag in the FritBox section but I actually do not need to see it in HomeKit.

Thank you for your support.

[seydx]

Allright, happy to solve this issue
