Here are some of the common errors you may experience with the plugin and how to resolve.

Timeout Exceeded Error

Entries in the log may be displayed as:

  • [Device] reported error and will retry connection within 30s [timeout of 10000ms exceeded].
  • [Device] could not update from internal change as timeout of 10000ms exceeded at createError...

This error can appear when controlling an accessory through HomeKit and Homebridge cannot communicate with the device. Homebridge will continue to log the awaiting (re)connection message until the device is found again.

To resolve:

  • Confirm that the device is powered on and connected to your local network

EHOSTUNREACH Error

Entries in the log may be displayed as:

  • [Device] reported error and will retry connection within 30s [connect EHOSTUNREACH 192.168.1.2:49153].

This error can appear when the plugin tries to renew the connection (UPNP subscription) with the device but the device cannot be found. The IP of the device may have changed.

To resolve:

  • Confirm that the device is powered on and connected to your local network
  • Try restarting Homebridge in case the device has changed IP

ECONNREFUSED Error

Entries in the log may be displayed as:

  • [Device] reported error and will retry connection within 30s [connect ECONNREFUSED 192.168.1.2:49154].

This error can appear when the plugin tries to renew the connection (UPNP subscription) with the device but the necessary port has changed.

  • Verify you are using the correct port for each device if your devices are manually configured in the settings
  • Try restarting Homebridge in case the necessary port has changed

Numerical Errors

400 UPnP connection not valid with devices in a different subnet to Homebridge
412 UPnP resubscribe attempt after timeout has elapsed
