Performance of switchbot / contact sensors
1 project | /r/homebridge | 21 May 2022

is anyone here running Switchbot contact sensors and https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/homebridge-switchbot ? I’m trying to trouble shoot poor performance of the contact sensors, I see instant reponses in the Switchbot app, but homebridge is either very slow or doesn’t report them at all. I have an open issue on it, but just thought I’d ask here too

The scrypted guys are aware of the issue and will push a ring update soon. I fixed my homebridge ring issue following a tutorial a guy posted on github.. you do it all from the homebridge web gui, look for "terminal" in the upper right click that then follow this: https://github.com/dgreif/ring/issues/1192
Cannot Setup Ring Plugin

Hello, I cannot setup the ring plugin. I input my email and password and click save. Nothing happens....I never get a 2FA code. I open the console and it says error: Refresh token is not valid. Unable to authenticate with Ring servers. See https://github.com/dgreif/ring/wiki/Refresh-Tokens. I have my refresh token available from HomeBridge, but I am unsure what my next step is?
