Homebridge cofiguration issue

[jaskatu]

Hi, I have set up dscKeybusInterface for Raspberry PI Bullseye to control PC1616 via Homebridge and Apple HomeKit. Everything seems to working fine except setting a status of DSC. If I try to set status to Home, Away or Night the status will be set correctly in DSC but Homebridge get a wrong status message from DSC.

In Homebrige Log I see following messages:
[1/18/2022, 6:40:24 AM] Homebridge v1.3.9 (HAP v0.9.8) (Homebridge EA45) is running on port 51040.

Do I have some wrong configuration in ESP8266 or Homebridge?

Another issue is OpenVPN in the same Raspberry. I have noticed Homebridge doesn't answer in HomeKit if OpenVPN is running. Do you have some configuration tip for that?

Thank you for developing this great project. It seems to be doable also for beginners.

Hi, I made configuration changes to Homebridge:
"accessories": [
{
"type": "securitySystem",
"name": "DSC Alarm System",
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:1883",
"logMqtt": true,
"topics": {
"setTargetState": "dsc/Set",
"getTargetState": "dsc/Get/Partition1",
"getCurrentState": "dsc/Get/Partition1"
},
"currentStateValues": [
"1S",
"1A",
"1N",
"1D",
"1T"
],
"targetStateValues": [
"1S",
"1A",
"1N",
"1D"
],
"accessory": "mqttthing"
}

Now I got following Warnings in the Homebridge log:

So it seems that ESP8622 send two different statuses (D and 1D) for the topic dsc/Get/Partition1. Is it possible to make Homebridge settings so, that both of those are able to read? Or need I change something to esp8622 configuration to avoid those warnings?

Anyway, it seems that the configuration is working correctly and it is able to change the system status.
