Error processing received information: this.statusPattern.exec is not a function body

[Jmi91]

Hi,
I'am trying to implement this plugin but I have a problem with urlGetCurrentPosition
I have this error on homebridge logfile:
[12/3/2020, 15:07:36] [Volets] Error processing received information: this.statusPattern.exec is not a function body: {"position":"20"}

I have this configuration:
"urlGetCurrentPosition": "http://192.168.0.1/api/status.php"

and here is the code of status.php file:

<?php
header('Content-type:application/json');
$jsonAnswer = array('position' => '20');
echo json_encode($jsonAnswer);
?>

What I'am missing ?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry but the problem was that I have installed the bad plugin.... :-(
It's working now with the correct plugin.
You can close This issue.

All good.

crashtestoz, I have another question.
All is working except that now I have always the "spinning wheel" in my window blind and it's saying "Opening".
Any idea ?

I think this is an issue with the update routine. HomeKit polls the device at an interval I believe and this is not working with the plug-in. I have not had time to troubleshoot and fix it.

Ok thanks

Hi,

@Jmi91 I suppose you have installed the plug-in from "dural" and not from @crashtestoz ?
Because I have the same problem, and I am still trying to figuring it out because I am far from being expert in Arduino ^^

Yes that was my problem. With the right plugin, all is OK.
Here is my config:

{
            "accessory": "HttpWindowBlinds",
            "name": "volets des velux",
            "urlSetTargetPosition": "http://192.168.0.2/voletsvelux/api/blinds?open=%VALUE%",
            "urlGetCurrentPosition": "http://192.168.0.2/voletsvelux/api/status"
},

and here is an example of php file status:

<?php
header('Content-type:application/json');
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); 
$jsonAnswer = array('position' => '20');
echo json_encode($jsonAnswer);
?>

@Jmi91 Merci de la réponse ;)

I have successfully add physical button. But the status of my rollers doesn't refresh when using those buttons, it refreshes only when using the Home App. Any ideas on how to force the status update ?

I have the same problem, but only when I restart homebridge server. So in day to day use, it doesn't bother me much.
