Error when discovery is enabled

[BNWEIN]

Hi.

With discovery enabled I am getting the below error. When I disable discovery the plugin works fine

2019-1-29 20:01:44] [MagicHome-Platform] Discovering Devices Error: spawn UNKNOWN at _errnoException (util.js:1022:11) at ChildProcess.spawn (internal/child_process.js:323:11) at exports.spawn (child_process.js:502:9) at LightAgent.getDevices (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\homebridge-magichome-platform\src\lib\lightAgent.js:143:17) at LightAgent.startDiscovery (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\homebridge-magichome-platform\src\lib\lightAgent.js:68:12) at new MagicHome (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\homebridge-magichome-platform\src\magichome.js:37:14) at Server._loadPlatforms (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\homebridge\lib\server.js:326:32) at Server.run (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\homebridge\lib\server.js:86:36) at module.exports (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\homebridge\lib\cli.js:45:10) at Object.

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi.

Sorry, i was typing the above on my mobile. I am now at a computer so have included my config file below

When i change "disableDiscovery" to false, this is when i have the error above.

{
"platform": "MagicHome-Platform",
"debug": true,
"disableDiscovery": true,
"lights": [
{
"name": "TV Unit LED Strip",
"ip": "192.168.0.15",

Are you working on windows? I fixed it by changing

this.proc = spawn('python', [cmd, '-s'])

in the lightAgent.js file. I think its because windows doesn't know shebangs like linux does

I'm also on windows and changed the line in lightAgent.js but now am getting this error:
Error: spawn python ENOENT
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:264:19)
at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:456:16)

Nevermind, got it working. Great plugin

Thank you @FeBe95 .

I was able to edit the lightAgent.js file on my Windows 10 machine and Homebridge now launches without having to set the disableDiscovery to false.
