Homebridge Connection Errors

[Alblahm]

Yesterday I have a similar issue as you told in a previous comment. The homebridge was not able to reconnect and it dissapeared from the ios home app when you try to eliminate the node and add a new one. I've tried a lot of options to be sure of the problem, I recompiled the node addons, restarted the service, eliminated all the accesories, removed the temporary folders, and at the end I realized that the solution was as quite simple as change the username hex adress inside the Bridgecore.js and it works. It detects the bridge and you can once again add all the accessories connected to this Bridge.

But, to be sure, when it was working, I've tried to roll back, and use the old username, and it stoped working again, so that was clearly the reason. I dont know why, but I suppose that the ios home have some kind of cache that we cant clear.

So, if you have another time the connection problem try first this, and comment in this section.
Im going to create a new section with this kind of problems because, if not, this thread has a lot of mixed information.

Thymjan, have you tried the other branch of the avea node. I mean i've seen that there is a branch called avea_server that manages multi light, and saves a register with all the lights list.
Did you test this lib?

Hi Alblahm. No I did not test this lib before. I either didn't realize that this lib would recognize an save information about more than one bulb. Sounds interesting.
