Evohome does not show up in Home.app after installation

[grapescape]

Just installed on my NAS and loaded ok but doesn’t seem to link to my homekit. Hombridge is there but the evohome plug-in is not visible? Have I missed something?

That's a rather vague explanation. Could you go into some more detail? An excerpt from your console after starting Homebridge could be helpful. Something like this:

Have you installed other plugins that are working the way they should?

Lucas, this is all that is listed. Not total relevant but let me know. Config seems to be OK and the bridge is listed on my homekit but no other items.

Okay, so it seems that your error lies outside the boundary of this project. Your error occurs because registry.npmjs.org cannot be reached. What kind of NAS are you using. Perhaps I can point you in the right direction.

I am using a synology DS216+ll. This requires a package called Docker to run homebridge. It seems that the error is a timeout issue but I wonder if there is a problem with a firewall or similar. Any thoughts gratefully accepted. Paul

Did you follow this guide?
https://github.com/oznu/docker-homebridge/wiki/Homebridge-on-Synology

I run the same container on my DS916+ and this works really good. Please install all plugins via the web interface of homebridge and try again. This is also where the configuration needs to be done. It looks like this

[grapescape]

It’s fixed. I just turned off docker app and restarted it and it worked. Looks great. Thanks for your help.
