I was told by one of the devs that the ability to receive NOTIFY messages (which is what’s currently broken for our WeMo drivers) should be available in the next release.
NICE… well that was a waste of an evening.
Good news is that as soon as its fixed I have the Wemo Light Switch ready to go. Cleaned up the code. Ripped out all the useless stuff and hopefully its just them fixing that and we are good to go.
Hah, I know the feeling. I spent a good chunk of a weekend tearing my hair out trying to figure out why Hubitat couldn't receive notifications.
Do you know if this was ever implemented? I have an app that is suffering from the same thing.
any suggestions on how to troubleshoot my issue then?
If you're willing to help here is my thread on what's going on
I am getting something in the logs, but it's not what I am sending. (I am trying to port this app from smartThings and it's the last piece I need)
Here is what I see:
parsedEvent = [mac:001788227989, networkAddress:0A000102, deviceAddress:50, ssdpPath:/description.xml, ssdpUSN:uuid:2f402f80-da50-11e1-9b23-001788227989, ssdpTerm:urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:basic:1, ssdpNTS:null]
Is there anyway for me to tell what is sending this?
Here is the code that sends the message:
It never reaches HE. I never see it in the log
if (device.id && device.name && device.type) {
try {
var data = {
module: module,
id: device.id,
name: device.name,
type: device.type,
event: event.name,
value: event.data.value
};
for (attr in device) {
if (attr.substr(0, 5) == 'data-') {
data[attr] = device[attr];
}
}
log({
info: 'Sending event to SmartThings: ' + (event.data.description || '')
});
node.request.put({
url: 'http://' + config.server.ip + ':' + config.server.port + '/event',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
json: true,
body: {
event: 'event',
data: data
}
},
function (err, response, body) {
if (err) {
log({
error: 'Failed sending event: ' + err
});
}
});
log({
info: 'Event should have been sent by now'
});
} catch (e) {
log({
error: 'Error parsing event data: ' + e
});
}
}
}
}
} catch (e) {
error('Failed to send event to SmartThings: ' + e);
}
},Turns out this is my Hue bridge.
I've never tried sending messages directly to the HE, so I'm not 100% sure what's required. I believe the MAC address of the sending device has to match up with the device network ID of the device in HE; is that the case in your setup?
Yes, if a driver has a dni which is the source device Mac or ip in hex, sans separators, and said device directs it's output to the hub ip address on port 39501 then any data the device sends will be forwarded to the drivers parse method.
I have a nodejs module that connects to AT&T digital life and sends a discovery data to my HE App to create the Devices if they are not already in HE. I monitor the log and that initial call never shows up. If I use curl to pass a similar command I receive a 200 return, but still nothing in the logs of HE.
This is an app I am porting over from SmartThings, and it works fine over there. I have the HE app working, it's just the communication between nodejs and HE that isn't working.
im not sure how this was supposed to work previously, but why not modify the node js app to have it send it's output directly to an he driver, this has less system overhead than subscribing to location events.
Wouldn't I still need an app to create the devices in HE as they are discovered in ATTDL?
yes, but the driver that receives and parses the messages can create child devices directly (component devices), or more logically, send these requests to the parent app to create child devices.
This doesn't sound like a device notification issue. I mean, it sounds like there should just be an app running on HE with an open endpoint that the node app can communicate with.
yup, can be done that way as well.
I was thinking about rewriting the app to do that, but I'd like to understand why this works in smartThings but not in HE. I have the app part of it working, I just never see anything from nodejs. nodejs does send the notification.
I would like to know as well! 
can you point me to the nodejs code you are running? and if you know the relevant lines of code you are expecting to send a message to HE?
This is the nodejs code:
Here is some relevant troubleshooting I've done:
If I reload the app in HE, I can get it to go past the section of the nodejs code listed in the above thread, but then it stops at the section listed below:
node.request.put({
url: 'http://' + config.server.ip + ':' + config.server.port + '/event',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
json: true,
body: {
event: 'event',
data: data
}
},
function (err, response, body) {
if (err) {
log({
error: 'Failed sending event: ' + err
});
}
});
} catch (e) {
log({
error: 'Error parsing event data: ' + e
});
}
}
}
}
} catch (e) {
error('Failed to send event to SmartThings: ' + e);
}
},
This is the repo to the HE app:
why do you mean by "stops" do you get an exception? or does the code hang somewhere in there?
