keybuk / homebridge-sun-position Goto Github PK

I've configured the sun but how do I use this to create automation triggers?

Thank you for the hard work on this plugin.

Is there an option to disable logging of the positions? They are useful is setting things up, but now everything is working well, it would be good to disable them.

I had an issue with another homebridge plugin that was warning of heartbeat drifts. I asked the developer about this and he said it was likely due to another plugin blocking the NodeJS main thread 'typically by doing synchronous I/O'

I've been through my installed plugins and disabled them in turn and, unfortunately, homebridge-sun-position is the one that, when disabled, suppresses the heartbeat drifts.

Obviously, I can't prove that this plugin is the source of the problem. Can you check please whether you are doing something that might block the NodeJS main thread?

With Homebridge 1.3.0 I now get the errors

This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Current Ambient Light Level': characteristic was supplied illegal value: number 0 exceeded minimum of 0.0001. See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.

Talking about the following line

And empty string is a invalid value for the SerialNumber characteristic and will be replaced anyways by a default number.

Hi, could you provide information on which type one should specify in the Homebridge accessory config?

I noticed that suncalc gets frequent updates but that homebridge-sun-position does not. Is there a way to check what version of suncalc I am running in my homebridge environment? Thanks.

Using Docker version, if it matters.

Hello, thank you for the nice plugin. I have just installed it and I noticed that in your example config an error exists.

Currently: "long" -115.8067
Right: "long": -115.8067

otherwise the plugin will not work .-)

👋 I've been using this excellent plugin for over a year now, and it works well!

But along the way I've seen erratic behavior in HomeKit. And now I wonder if it's related to minStep: 0.1 not being respected:

Even if this isn't causing problems, I think the code ought to set values that conform to the details specified in the characteristic, and it'd make for simpler to read values 🤓

As your plugin currently only produces the current lux, perhaps you could consider to include something like suncalc to get the actual position and expose it for automation in stead of using an external app ?

edit I see you use suncalc my mistake, can you expose the position values ?
