Trying to use the homebridge plugin (https://github.com/sergey-tihon/streamdeck-homebridge) | OpenDeck | Page 1

Hi all, I'm trying to use the homebridge plugin so that I can control my homebridge devices from my streamdeck. The way the plugin authenticates is by having you fill out a form and clicking the login button when you create your first action (server, name, password, update). This plugin works great in the elgato software on macos and windows. When I fill out the form and click login, I get "Cannot authenticate to the server. Response:{"statusCode":0, "responseText": "", "responseType": "", "responseUrl": "", "responseHeaders": {}, "content": {"Text": ""}}" Anyone have any thoughts? No combination of http or https, hostname or ip, or authentication or no auth allows the plugin to login.

in opendeck settings, there is a button which brings you to the Opendeck log. there is also a folder where the plugin logs are stored.

There is no logfile for the plugin

#

all that's in the opendeck log is this:

[2026-03-12][19:17:25][opendeck::plugins][DEBUG] Using ports 57116 and 57118
[2026-03-12][19:17:25][opendeck::events][DEBUG] Registered plugin com.amansprojects.starterpack.sdPlugin

yeah no, then its a Javascript plugin and there is another way to get the log. Not sure right now tho. Mayby @mild ember can shed light about how to get the console log of the plugin.

as usual create a debug file in the plugin dir and restart

i did that but there are still no logs. it opened up a window with some console stuff but i'm not sure how to save it

mild ember Mar 12, 2026, 7:58 PM

yeah, the console tab is what would have any relevant logs, best way to save is just a screenshot
