Output
JSON
nextBackupTime- The timestamp or datetime indicating when the next backup is scheduled to occur.
Dependencies
- Homebridge API access with an API key or access token for authentication.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the access token is valid and has not expired; otherwise, authentication errors will occur.
- If SSL certificate validation fails and the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option is not enabled, the request may be blocked.
- Proxy settings must be correctly configured if used; incorrect proxy details can cause connection failures.
- Timeout settings should be adjusted based on network conditions to avoid premature request abortion.
