Haiku Using Amazon Alexa devices (Echo, Dot, Tap, etc.) with HAI

[heffneil]

How I am getting:
 
 
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ha-bridge.plist: Service is disabled
 
I did run chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ha-bridge.plist
 
Any other ideas?

 

[heffneil]

-rw-r--r--@  1 root  wheel   795 Nov  7 08:54 com.ha-bridge.plist
 
Maybe I have an issue with the jar file?

 

[networkcrasher]

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ha-bridge.plist

[networkcrasher]

did you leave the other services enabled with the same name?  Try
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ha-bridge.plist

 

[heffneil]

Neils-Mac-mini:LaunchDaemons neilheuer$ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ha-bridge.plist
Password:
Neils-Mac-mini:LaunchDaemons neilheuer$ sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ha-bridge.plist

/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ha-bridge.plist: service already loaded
 
 
The website for the bridge isn't loading so its not working?

 

[networkcrasher]

did you look at the ha-bridge log file?
did you look at the stdout log file?
 
Obviously your system has issues, but you'll have to take some initiative to look in the log files

Now I am getting these:

I can run the file just perfect on the command line.  I had it running within my user library file I believe?

 

[networkcrasher]

syslog errors won't help you.  look at the stdout error log from the application itself to see why it's failing to start.
 
command line instances won't restart themselves if they die off.  Same with them restarting at boot time.
 
If you have it working under the user context, then by all means, stick with that!  I was under the impression it doesn't work at all for you through launchd.

 

[heffneil]

It is saying address in use.  I wonder if it isn't utilizing my config file when I am running the command with launchd?

 

[networkcrasher]

"ps -ef | grep ha-bridge" and kill any running procs or try a reboot.
 
the stdout log should tell you what config it's trying to load or what port it's trying to use.  Something like reading from config file data/habridge.config
 

 

[heffneil]

so I stopped the one I had running on the command line and ran the PS and got this:
 

 0  6659     1   0  1:23PM ??         0:01.37 /usr/bin/java -jar /Users/neilheuer/ha-bridge-master/target/ha-bridge-3.2.1.jar
 
so it is running but not running with my settings I believe?

That is probably because your data directory which contains the db with your device definitions is not in the root path. You can move it there or simply add the following at the start of your .plist:
 
<key>WorkingDirectory</key> <string>/tmp</string>
 
change /tmp to the path containing your data directory.
