Describe The Bug

The plugin fails to show the roomba accessories after upgrading to version 2.1.0

To Reproduce

At version 2.0.0 both of my roomba accessories were reporting to homebridge. After upgrading to version 2.1.0, and restarting the following error occurs: plugin was found for the accessory "Roomba2" in your config.json. Please make sure the corresponding plugin is installed correctly.� I attempted to rollback to version 2.0.0 but the same error occurs. I had to roll back to version 1.5.3 to recover my roomba accessories.

Expected behavior

Choosing the upgrade to 2.1.0 should work without losing my Roomba accessories after I put in teh configuration information.

I am also having this issue.

[jlg89]

same as #162

[bmoffatt]

I believe the issue is the plugin placing the config in "accessories": [ rather than "platforms": [, hinted at by the v2.0.0 release note Change from Accessory base to Platform based Plugin

I fixed this on my setup by editing the config.json, moving the accessories entry to the "platforms" list, and changing the field "accessory": "Roomba2" to "platform": "Roomba"

Touching the plugin config in the UI would bring back the bad "accessories" entry and the No plugin was found for the accessory "Roomba2" in your config.json error in the logs. However this stopped being reproducible sometime later, probably after an OS update and reboot.

[coffeeandubuntu]

I tried doing this, but it still doesn't seem to work for me. At this point version 1.5.3 works fine, but anything after that throws an error and won't enable the child bridge.

[mwcassens]

@bmoffatt Would you post the relevant section of the config.json that allowed your roomba accessories to connect with version 2.1 of the plugin?

[coffeeandubuntu]

Sure! Here you go:

    }

[jlg89]

So the whole block has to be duplicated under accessories and devices?

[bmoffatt]

@bmoffatt Would you post the relevant section of the config.json that allowed your roomba accessories to connect with version 2.1 of the plugin?

{
    "bridge": {
        ...
    },
    "accessories": [],
    "platforms": [
        ...,
        {
            "name": "Roomba",
            "email": "EMAIL",
            "password": "PASSWORD",
            "disableDiscovery": false,
            "idleWatchInterval": 1,
            "debug": true,
            "platform": "Roomba"
        }
    ],
    "disabledPlugins": [
        ...
    ]
}

[coffeeandubuntu]

Just to be clear — what I posted only works under 1.5.3. Not 2.1. I can’t get it working under 2.1.

[mwcassens]

@bmoffatt Thank you for posting the config.json file. I can confirm that this works for me using version 2.1 of the Roomba plugin.

[jlg89]

I tried this, and the plugin will not find the iRobot device on the local network. It also insists upon having the iRobot username/password. Ended up uninstalling the plugin completely, had to manually remove it from the json. Now not even 1.5.3 will work. Giving up for the time being, I'll just use the iRobot app.

[brianysf]

Same issue. Reverting to 1.5.3 sort of worked but I'm having some strange behavior. Wish I hadn't switched to the Profiled plugin.
