That’s odd, I just unlinked and relinked my account without issue

can you share a screenshot of the error? I’m wondering where in the process it is erroring

[sthety1]

I'm using the same google account for HB and within Google home and this happens. Here is a recording. I've tried both Github and Google.

Others have also said this on the discord channel as well.

At that point in the authentication / setup flow it is requesting the devices from your setup. Is the homebridge-gsh plugin installed and linked with the same account ? Any error logs from the plugin ?

The error you're seeing is the retrieval of devices failing for your account.

Ok thanks. I might try with a different google account to see if I get the same issues to link to HB and the Google Home app.

I'm having the same problem, Homebridge console also reports not finding any Accessories.

In homebridge what do the logs for the plugin show ? It should show connecting to the service and # accessories shared

[sthety1]

This is what is shows. It won't bring any devices since I can't connect on the google home. I have tried multiple google accounts and even GitHub and made sure the account I am using in home bridge is the same one in the google home app.

Can you go back further in the log, or restart the plugin so that the # of discovered accessories is displayed

Also is your internet connection stable ? Those lost connection messages could be an issue with the plugin getting access to the cloud servers.

It says connected, but 0 accessories found.

@peterchabs This is why linking is failing, the plugin can't find any accessories. What does the Homebridge UI show ?

Also this plugin takes homerbidge devices and exposes them to google. You do have homebridge running, with plugins configured etc?

Yes, I do. I'm just trying to retrieve the single TP-Link accessory that is shown in the video I originally posted above.

[NorthernMan54]

I'm kinda stumped here, as the plugin uses the same accessory search code as the UI, so it should be the same or similar. Are you running child bridges ? I'm wondering if it's a sequence issue during startup, and if your running child bridges you could restart the GSH Bridge to have it do discover after everythings running

[NorthernMan54]

Also could you enable DEBUG in the plugin config, and share the log from the first minute ( The discovery phase )
