homebridge-ring setting to unbridge cameras causes homebridge-gsh to fail to find homebridge devices

[drive-c]

Describe The Bug:

When setting homebridge-ring to unbridge cameras, homebridge-gsh fails to find most homebridge-ring devices as well as devices from some other plugins. The accessories page also omits a number of accessories after homebridge-gsh has started, including non-Ring accessories. (Occasionally, you can restart homebridge-gsh and other child bridges in a staggered way to cause some of the accessories to reappear, but the accessories disappearing appears to be linked to homebridge-gsh starting up. Any accessories gained this way are typically lost on homebridge-gsh's restart.)

Setting homebridge-ring unbridgeCameras to false and restarting homebridge-gsh causes the issue to go away.

Also note that while the change in homebridge-ring specifically affects cameras, I understand that homebridge-gsh does not support the cameras; this issue has to do with Ring alarm, lighting, and other non-Ring accessories.

To Reproduce:

Use homebridge-ring and homebridge-gsh with multiple Ring cameras, alarm, and light devices. I also have homebridge-tplink-smarthome with a few outlets and switches. Add devices to Google Home with homebridge-gsh. Afterwards, set Unbridge Cameras to true and restart Homebridge. homebridge-gsh appears to no longer connect to alarm devices and lights in homebridge-ring as well as switches in homebridge-tplink-smarthome. (Occasionally, one or two devices will connect, but this changes on each restart of homebridge-gsh.)

Expected behavior:

homebridge-gsh should be able to get past the unbridged cameras and continue looking for other valid devices. homebridge-gsh should not fail to find non-Ring devices.

Obviously, there is some overlap between the homebridge-ring and homebridge-gsh plugins, but seeing the accessories disappear on restart of the gsh plugin leads me to believe the issue may be with how gsh handles the accessories.

When GSH starts it scans for all homebridge instances/bridges and then retrieves a list. If the other plugin is sluggish in publishing them, then the initial discovery in GSH and the UI will miss them. But GSH and UI does a refresh regularly so if you wait they should appear.

I've tried troubleshooting this issue on and off for the past few months with very little success. The best that I can figure: GSH plugin will only detect the Ring Alarm if there are no Ring Cameras or if you block all Ring Cameras in the Ring Homebridge plugin.

It is possible to create two Ring Homebridge child bridges, but if any of them have cameras, they will fail to be detected correctly. This is even if you block the Ring child bridge username that has the cameras in the GSH plugin.

Marking bridge usernames to ignore for the cameras is not respected by the GSH app. When it filters the accessories, it also filters them out in the accessories pane of Homebridge, which is obnoxious, but doesn't appear to be causing lasting damage as you can restart the other plugins to get them back.

I imagine this is a quirk with HAP and how the Ring Cameras are un-bridged. If anyone has figured this out, I would be grateful.

After hours of trying different settings and combinations, I've found that the issue is probably with Avahi and HAP. Switching to Ciao as the mDNS Advertiser for Homebridge seems to have fixed the incompatibility between Ring Alarm and Ring Cameras, at least for now.

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, so this may interfere with the built-in Avahi mDNS, but I will continue to monitor.

Am thinking that this may be the trigger - homebridge/bonjour#12 and/or homebridge/bonjour#24

Under the covers GSH and the homebridge UI share the same code for discovering accessories, does the same issue occur with the Homebridge UI ?

The two issues you list appear similar, but I don't have the technical knowledge of how each of the different mDNS Advertisers work to give a solid answer.

I am now fairly confident that HAP-Client + using Avahi is the issue. Switching to Ciao is a solid workaround for me. I run Teslamate and OpenVPN on this server and I haven't encountered issues running Ciao for Homebridge in tandem with Ubuntu's Avahi. More time will be needed to determine possible issues, but I am happy with the results so far.

For Homebridge UI, the Accessories page populates correctly for the plugins when using Ciao. When using Avahi, I can restart all plugins except GSH and the accessories show up correctly on Homebridge UI. As soon as GSH restarts, sometime around when GSH writes the discovery response to /var/lib/homebridge/homebridge-gsh-discovery.json, the accessories page depopulates most accessories (and removes them on /var/lib/homebridge/accessories/uiAccessoriesLayout.json) excluding some of the Ring Cameras that GSH does see. (From what I can tell, only Ring Cameras with a battery percentage show up in Google Home app at this point).

Also while using Avahi, setting Ring Homebridge plugin to block all cameras, restarting Homebridge, waiting for GSH to settle and sync accessories, then changing Ring Homebridge configuration to no longer block cameras, GSH continues working as expected until GSH or Homebridge is restarted and GSH begins its accessory search.

I'll perhaps do an issue writeup for the Homebridge Ring plugin just in case there's a weirdness in how the unbridged cameras are handled in that code vs how they were handled before. I am happy to answer further questions or provide more logs if needed.
