Accessories getting reset in Google Home #19

Describe The Bug:

I use homebridge-gsh to expose a switch from https://github.com/paolotremadio/homebridge-automation-presence to android phones for presence detection with mutliple devices, and so on.

Sometimes, the accessories set in homebridge-automation-presence (switches and motion sensors (as switches)) are like re-added in google home on the android phone (not associated to an home, removed from automations, ...).
Other accessories doesn't face this issue.

I have noticed that the serialNumber of homebridge-automation-presence is set to 'n/a', not sure if this is an issue ?

Expected behavior:
Accessories are not reset.

Environment:

  • Node.js Version: v22.14.0
  • NPM Version: 10.9.2
  • Homebridge Version: 1.9.0
  • Homebridge GSH Plugin Version: v3.1.2
  • Homebridge Config UI X Plugin Version: v4.73.0
  • Operating System: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed VM + Docker (homebridge/homebridge)

Additional info/tests:

  • In Apple Home there is no issue (never happended a re-add / reset of these accessories)
  • When restarting GSH bridge, Homebridge, or the whole homebridge container (docker) (even removing / recreating it), or if I reboot the host VM => there is no issue.

However: If i recreate the host VM and re-run the homebridge container (keeping same container exposed volumes, same data, as the containers' volumes data are not on the VM) => these (and only these) homebridge-automation-presence accessories gets removed. On the Google Home App I see this:

  • accessories are offline waiting homebridge up
  • then they are all disabled
  • then after a few minutes, the other accessories are bring back with correct state and automation-presence ones are removed / dissapear
  • these removed / missing accessories then reappear after a short time but as new ones

I found a manual workaround which works all the time:

  • disable homebedige-gsh plugin,
  • recreate the VM and rerun the homebrige docker container,
  • wait a few minutes that all is well started
  • enable homebridge-gsh plugin
  • restart homebridge
  • once homebridge-gsh bridge starting up, stop it asap
  • wait a few minutes that all plugins are well started (and a bit more to be sure)
  • start homebridge-gsh
    => Then my automation-presence accessories are all good like before, not removed and re-added.

maybe the easiest way is to expose the discovery delay of homebridge-gsh in the config, so I can set it to a few minutes, I guess it could fix the issue for me ?

To Reproduce:

  • Install homebridge-automation-presence and homebridge-gsh.
  • set some presence accessories:
        {
            "accessory": "AutomationPresence",
            "name": "Home Presence",
            "masterPresenceOffDelay": 1200,
            "_bridge": {
                "username": "0E:83:FD:0F:18:FE",
                "port": 23109
            },
            "zones": [
                {
                    "name": "Phones",
                    "triggers": [
                        {
                            "name": "HomeKit"
                        },
                        {
                            "name": "Android"
                        }
                    ]
                },
                {
                    "name": "Motion",
                    "triggers": [
                        {
                            "name": "HueMotion"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
  • add homebridge-gsh to your google home.
  • move the automation-presence accessories to some home and room and add one (for example the 'Android' one) to an arrive/leave automation.
  • wait few hours / days and they will be reset and appear back as new accessories in Google Home, or remove the VM, recreate it and rerun docker homebridge.
