Can't get my AC2889/10 to respond

[MartinJRS]

Hello, just installed your plugin. Unfortunately my device is not really responding. Hope it helps to figure out the problem when posting relevant lines from my protocol:

Thanks in advanced, Martin

I have now switched to COAP protocol and get this message in:

[MartinJRS]

hmmm, is there anybody out there?

[MartinJRS]

Seems like there is no more support for this plugin ...

[MartinJRS]

So ... this plugin is dead?

[Nivlac7]

How did you install your homebridge plugin? Through the hombridge UI? If not you may have forgotten to install py-air-control package.

The 2889/10 is normally supported (saw on reddit it was working fine for other)

[MartinJRS]

Thanks for responding.

Yeah, I have installed through the HomeBridge UI. Uhm ... can I find some sort of instructions of how to get all done as required?

Thanks

[Nivlac7]

Alright, just did it, nothing complex but that's not fully done through Homebridge UI.

You have to install pithon py-air-control and update the CoAPthon3 dependency manually.
So, in console (terminal in homebridge):

sudo apt install python3-pip git

sudo pip3 install py-air-control

sudo pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/rgerganov/CoAPthon3

You need to put COAP in the settings and the IP of the purifier.

Only issue I have for now is that I cannot power it ON through homekit.

[MartinJRS]

Alright, thanks many times. Will try it out today ... will let you know.

[MartinJRS]

Can you please specify these steps?

1st: update the CoAPthon3 dependency manually
2nd: put COAP in the settings and the IP of the purifier

Appologies, I am a total noob in these things.

[MartinJRS]

Alright, I have now added the device's IP and switched to CoAP ... sorry.

But I don't know what to do with "update the CoAPthon3 dependency manually"

[Nivlac7]

You simply have to run the 3 commands I gave you in terminal Le 28 sept. 2022 à 16:28, Martin ***@***.***> a écrit :  Alright, I have now added the device's IP and switched to CoAP ... sorry.

Okay, thank you very much. I have now done as described. Seems to work sort of ... when I toggle the Philips via HomeKit, it does not react always ... also the Homebridge Protocol prompts this message:

[AC2889] Unable to get data for polling: Error: spawnSync python3 ETIMEDOUT.

Did I miss something?

I had a similar problem at the beginning so I went through all steps described by @Nivlac7. Right now it still doesn't work but I got some other messages:

Any ideas?

My config:

        {
            "devices": [
                {
                    "name": "Bedroom Philips Purifier",
                    "ip": "192.168.50.248",
                    "protocol": "coap"
                }
            ],
            "name": "Philips Air",
            "platform": "philipsAir"
