Troubleshooting
- Common issues include invalid or expired access tokens, which will cause authentication failures. Ensure the token is valid and correctly entered.
- SSL certificate validation errors may occur if the server uses a self-signed or invalid certificate. Use the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option to bypass this if necessary.
- Proxy configuration errors can prevent the node from connecting to the Homebridge server. Verify proxy settings if used.
- Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow to respond. Adjust the timeout setting accordingly.
