Homebridge UI raspberry pi image

I can reproduce this every time, so something odd at my end. Just happened again, as the power saving kicked in. From the logs, there's a 16 mins gap on Homebridge of nothing in the logs - then Homebridge reappears

Then I see this

2020-10-26T16:16:56.341Z cbus:client C-Gate socket error: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:20023
2020-10-26T16:16:56.342Z cbus:client C-Gate connection could not be opened; exiting.

And Homebridge keeps looping. The only way to fix is to restart the whole Pi via the Homebridge UI, restarting Homebridge on it's own doesn't fix.

 

In the UI, Homebridge settings, Startup options, turn on "Homebridge Debug Mode".
Lots more info.
Logs should then be showing "Starting Homebridge with extra flags: -I -D"

Clear the logs and start a fresh log.
If you then go and pull the power to your device server you will see I think it is InterfaceState= closed or opening or closed whatever the case may be.
CGate should be trying to reconnect at this stage.
Leave it keep trying for 10 minutes or so then restore the power to the device server.
I'd like to see what happens in the logs before and after the power is restored.
From the UI save the log as a text file.

Keep in mind you dont want to publish the logs here directly because there may be api keys or other sensitive information.
Search the log text file for the relevant CBus information and post here.
Maybe something will stand out to give a clue.

 

Just a thought but it might be worth a try to pull the ethernet from the device server rather than power cycle it and see if you get the same result.

 

To restart CGate service with rebooting the pi
sudo systemctl restart cgate

 

sorry "without rebooting"

 

Working, then I pulled the ethernet out of the MSS100 which connects to the RS232 CBUS Interface. I then power cycled the MSS100, still no connection. I cycled Homebridge, no connection. I cycled the Homebridge Pi it runs on, then it will come back again.

Would we need some lower level c-gate debug rather than Homebridge? When this dies, a Windows machine with the Toolkit on also then can't connect to C-Gate on the Pi until I cycle the entire Pi.

Did you try to restart CGate without rebooting the raspberry pi?
sudo systemctl restart cgate
That should give the same effect as rebooting but take Homebridge out of the equation.

 

As I said I didn't notice any problem with my Moxa device server.
I've also recently tried a FTDI USB to serial adapter using the method in this link.
https://blog.addictedtopi.com/2017/05/21/installing-c-gate-on-a-raspberry-pi/
"It uses a script to turn the serial connection into a socket connection, which makes the PCI module act like a CNI module. "
This has no problem reconnecting if I remove the USB adapter and replug it some time later.

It seems to me it would be a lot simpler to not power cycle the device server but if we can find out why it is not reconnecting will be one less potential problem.
Maybe someone else could experiment by disconnecting their Clipsal CNI device from the LAN, wait a while plug it back in and see if it reconnects.
If someone can confirm I think that might narrow the issue down to your device server.
Have you looked in the MSS100 config for some settings?

 

Hi

I have set several pi's using this method , but trying tonight and getting the same npm issues listed on GitHub. Any one else here having the same problem ?

@Rytech
Could you try this and let me know.
Thanks
