Homebridge hangs and stops responding

[yffud]

homebridge-smartthings/src/platform.ts

Line 73 in 44894ec

this.log.error(`Could not load devices from Smartthings: ${reason}. Check your configuration`);

If the code gets to this catch error it hangs the code and Homebridge until Homebridge is restarted.

Could there be a retry or continue logic here?

Issue logged with Homebridge homebridge/homebridge#3615

Homebridge will stop responding to inputs from HomeKit until it is rebooted.

The last log messages before hanging will be something similar from the Smartthings Plugin

[5/14/2024, 4:33:14 AM] [Smartthings Plug (IK)] Error getting devices from Smartthings: Error: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN api.smartthings.com
[5/14/2024, 4:33:14 AM] [Smartthings Plug (IK)] Could not load devices from Smartthings: undefined. Check your configuration

No more long messages after than until rebooted

Was this issue addressed? It is still affecting v1.5.21.

I don’t believe so . I asked ChatGPT to help me write some really hackey retry code to wrap around it to kludge a temporary fix

I'm going to give this plugin a shot: Restart Plugin
Using the value @daily in order to restart the service once a day.

Good idea , my first hack was a daily restart of the service by crontab , but sometimes the service was left hung for a few hours then when I needed it
