Device properties via variable

[ImhotepDE]

Read out device properties optionally via ioBrocker.State or similar.

With this you can automatically read and enter the firmware, serial number, manufacturer etc..

[jensweigele]

With the latest master you can add an "AccessoryInformation" service to specify those values via datapoints/functions etc.
Those values will overwrite the values you provide in the device header.
In my tests, the iOS HomeKit app needed some time to take over the new information on the devices.

[ImhotepDE]

As soon as I add the service, there is always an error message:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'toString' of undefined

[jensweigele]

Where do you get this error?
In the admin console or when starting the adapter?

[ImhotepDE]

Once I add and save the service.

ioBroker.yahka does not start then and the error occurs in the LOG

[ImhotepDE]

If I don't specify a service typ (AccessoryInformation Service), there's a mistake:

Error: Cannot add a Characteristic with the same UUID as another Characteristic in this Service:

[jensweigele]

can you please enable the debug log for the Yahka Adapter?
And post the full log of the adapter here

[jensweigele]

You are not using the latest version of Yahka (which is necessary for this feature)
You need to install 0.9.0 (should be available via the admin interface tomorrow)
Or you should update the adapter via the "GitHub" button

Please check again if it works with 0.9.0

[ImhotepDE]

How exactly do I do that using the GitHub button?

[jensweigele]

Go to the "Adapters" Page
Click on the GitHub button (the button with the cat)
Select "Yahka" and click "install"
That's it

[ImhotepDE]

sorry, which button is meant?

[ImhotepDE]

I found it... thank you.

[ImhotepDE]

The error is also present with the current version.

Could you please write a working example where the AccessoryInformation Service function is used and also works

[jensweigele]

Can you please post the log again?
I've tried several times - just added the AccessoryInformation, checked "Model", "Serialnumber" and "Manufacturer", used the State-Function and used javascript datapoint.

[jensweigele]

Did you fill in the "Subtype" Fields?
The error you get has something to do with the Subtypes of the services.
Please let them empty - unless really needed.
If you enable the debug log again, you should see the service it tries to initialize just before the error occurs.

[ImhotepDE]

If I leave the service subtype empty, the error occurs:

yahka.0 2019-01-24 13:16:23.398 error Error: Cannot add a Characteristic with the same UUID as another Characteristic in this Service: xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
yahka.0 2019-01-24 13:16:23.397 error uncaught exception: Cannot add a Characteristic with the same UUID as another Characteristic in this Service: xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

[jensweigele]

Can you post more of the log?
I want to see which characteristic it is (and on which service)
Please make sure that the loglevel is debug

[jensweigele]

Any news on this?

[ImhotepDE]

sorry...

I have tested it with a heating thermostat, it works, with the lamp comes the said error

[jensweigele]

Can you make a screenshot of your configuration of the said lamp?
