Hey 😄

I set up the Homebridge ADB plugin for my Android TV (TPM191E, Philips 55OLED934/12) and it worked for a second until I started to get the same error again and again. Homebridge kept on restarting over and over again so I couldn’t use my other Homebridge connected devices on HomeKit. I think it maybe is because of the path for ADB tools but I quadruple-checked I think even… 5-times-checked or 6 times and I believe it’s the right path for ADB tools !

That’s the whole log ouput, it just instantly restarts right after…

Did you ever get a response about this? I’m having the same issue with my NVIDIA Shield Pro now. I switched to the official Homebridge container though. Maybe it doesn’t work with that one?

From the log, it’s looks like nodejs spawn error. The

This error was produced when the plugins trying to call adb using spawn. The latest version doesn’t use spawn anymore to call adb. But I don’t know if fix the problem or not.

I’m using homebridge container and it works well. Without any log output I don’t know if you have the same problem or not.

@dwaan I can now run homebridge with homebridge-adb, but I still have a problem,

I can add it to home but even when the TV is on it shows off in Home and Homebridge Accessories
I tried powering it on (it already was on btw) and it said

I revoked all permissions on the TV, then I ran adb connect 192.168.1.180:5555, it asked me to approve on the TV so I did and then I ran adb devices to check and it was here and it didn't say unauthorized like before, it said device
So I tried restarting homebridge and it still didn't work

Also how do I switch to a Static IP ? I saw that somewhere else on reddit so maybe it is it ? I don't know if it already is a Static IP

Just jumping in here because I completely nuked my Homebridge and started over yesterday. Saving ADB for last though since I was having issues with it. Just to answer your question, whatever box is running Homebridge, you need to reserve an IP for it on your router. How that is done depends on your router. Usually it in the DHCP Server settings somewhere. But avoid using the phrase “static IP,” as that typically means your external IP being a static IP address that you pay extra for. For routers, it usually called reserved IP if you want a device to have the same IP on your network every time it boots.
