Homebridge-Garage-Door-Switch

[PeterGurneyuk]

I am running Homebridge in docker on a QNAP. Homebridge-Garage-Door-Switch has been installed with Homebridge-Http-Switch to mimic the door status.
Every part of the system works fine except I can not call the open or closed scripts.
The scripts work as a stand-alone and power the door, but I can not trigger them from the plugin.
{
"accessory": "EzzGarageDoorSwitch",
"name": "Garage Door",
"open": "open_command.sh && echo OPENING",
"close": "close_command.sh && echo CLOSING",
"state": "bash get_garage_status.sh",
"pollStateTime": 15,
"debug": true,
"httpPort": 8965
}
I am guessing I can not find the right path and/or do I need to prefix with "sh" ?
Currently they are in the homebridge directory with config.json etc.
They do run from the terminal or via putty, just not from within EzzGarageDoorSwitch.
What am I doing wrong ?

A couple of things to check/try.

• Are you seeing anything in the Homebridge logs when you try to open and close the door? The log message should be prefixed with ERROR Opening Door
• Try putting the full path to the open and close scripts and see if that helps
• If the scripts are executable you shouldn't need to prefix with sh

I have noticed there could be an issue with newer versions of Homebridge where the command isn't being executed. I'm testing a fix now and will push out a new version shortly.

I just made an update to a new version that will hopefully resolve the issue. Do you want to give this a try and see if it fixes your issue?

[PeterGurneyuk]

Still no success, tried various versions of path and file name (open_command.sh contains "echo batch file ran")

A snip of the log file:-

Ok so that error message you're getting now is definitely about file paths. It looks like the full path to your command within the container would be /homebridge/open_command.sh. Putting that in your confit definitely doesn't work?

[PeterGurneyuk]

I have recreated the two batch files, I was concerned that they may have been contaminated by notepad++ (windows).
With the /homebridge/open_command.sh location. the system is now working.
Thank you for your prompt support, I am truly grateful.

All good, glad it's working for you and someone's using the plugin!
