Error: Unknown event type: 2 about homebridge-mi-hygrothermograph HOT 10 CLOSED

So yes, right now I get the correct data in the console if I don't press the button.
And it works no matter if I place an address parameter in the config file or not.

Uhm, surprisingly I can't replicate the problem anymore. Probably as you said there was another device conflicting with mine, in the same building, and now it's gone. I have just a Yeelight lamp and a SonOff sensor connected to the HomeBridge but none with Bluetooth.
Thanks for your help!

No problem! If you start seeing this again - get back to me with some debug-logs and I'll see if I can mitigate the error.

Hi @hannseman,
I'm getting a similar "Unknown event type: 2" error in a MacOS console after pushing the Bluetooth button on the sensor.

Here is the log from running homebridge -D:

Node Version: v10.15.3
plugin version: 2.2.1

The sensor worked fine with a Xiaomi home iOS app.

I'll appreciate your help.

Hi @karolt! Thanks for your report. Does the plugin not work at all or are you seeing this error along with seeing correct data? Maybe you could let it run for a couple of minutes with the sensor next to the device that is running homebridge and paste the full logs here?

It looks like this plugin is picking up some other device data. Are you running Xiaomi Flower Care devices as well? Could you please paste your homebridge config? If you haven't already you should specify the address config option. The correct value to insert here is a bit tricky to find as MacOS does not allow access to the raw MAC-addresses of bluetooth devices but instead assigns its own unique id.

The easiest way might be to let homebridge run for a while and look for a discovered peripheral where the serviceData starts with 5020 and then copy and paste the value of Id::

[2019-5-3 22:40:04] [Temperature & Humidity] [] Discovered peripheral
Id: ...
LocalName: undefined
rssi: -31
serviceData: 5020...

Hi,
Funny thing - after starting the homebridge once again, I saw correct data from the sensor:

[2019-5-3 23:21:13] [Temperature & Humidity] Start scanning.
[2019-5-3 23:21:13] [Temperature & Humidity] Started scanning.

      Id: ....
      LocalName: undefined
      rssi: -51
      serviceData: 5020....
[2019-5-3 23:21:16] [Temperature & Humidity] [] Temperature: 24.9C
[2019-5-3 23:21:16] [Temperature & Humidity] [] Humidity: 44.2%
[2019-5-3 23:21:26] [Temperature & Humidity] [] Discovered peripheral
      Id: ....
      LocalName: MJ_HT_V1
      rssi: -50
      serviceData: 5020...
[2019-5-3 23:21:26] [Temperature & Humidity] [] Battery level: 52%

And then, after pushing the Bluetooth button again, a got flooded with the error messages (the same i pasted in my previous message).

So it looks like, the sensor is getting discovered properly. But apart from that, sth different happens and that causes the errors. And since the error messages flood the screen, I have not spotted the correct data before.
The error messages keep coming as long as the sensor is in a discovery mode. After the bluetooth icon stops blinking, the error messages stop coming.

And for the record, the temp&humidity sensor is the only xiaomi device I have.

Interesting! Yes this plugin does not connect to the device so there’s no need to press the Bluetooth button to set the device in pairing mode.

Did I understand you correctly that everything works as expected if the button isn’t pressed? If so please go ahead and close this issue and I’ll update the documentation to describe that there’s no need to press the Bluetooth button.

PS. I don't have a "close issue" button, so I guess you have to do this ;-)

Forgot that this issue wasn’t opened by you originally. :)

Thanks for your detailed report. I’ll update the docs and see if I can suppress this error.
