Cannot Create Thermostat Accessory

[jtsiros]

Hello,

I'm attempting to create a thermostat accessory, and for some reason, The Home app returns "Couldn't connect to this accessory." error.

here is my initialization code:

info := accessory.Info{
		Name:         "Nest",
		Manufacturer: "Nest Labs Inc",
	}
	acc := accessory.NewThermostat(
		info,
		75.0,
		75.0,
		75.0,
		1.0,
	)
	config := hc.Config{Pin: *pin, Port: *port}
	tp, err := hc.NewIPTransport(config, acc.Accessory)
	if err != nil {
		log.Info.Panicln(err.Error())
	}
	hc.OnTermination(func() {
		<-tp.Stop()
	})
	tp.Start()

Here is an excerpt from the logs:

I've been able to successfully run a LightSwitch accessory without any issues.

I'm also looking into something similar, and wondering if the (as yet un-merged) #118 might help.

[brutella]

From the log I can see that the client successfully connected and paired with the accessories. But then it immediately unpairs with the accessories. Probably the data of the accessory is invalid.

Maybe a min and max temperature of 75° is invalid. Have you tried to use 70° for min and 75° for max?

[jtsiros]

@brutella Yes, I've tried 70 for min and 80 for max. Same result (logs):

Any suggestions on what the issue could be?

[brutella]

Can somebody please try with hc v1.1.0?

[bjanders]

I just tried it, and it works without issues.

@jtsiros, note that the units are degrees Celsius (according to the HAP specs).
