  2. A user needs to verify which accessories are currently cached by Homebridge for troubleshooting or configuration purposes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Access Token Access token from Login operation. If not connected to Login node, enter manually.

Output

JSON

  • accessories - List of cached accessories retrieved from the Homebridge server.

Dependencies

  • Homebridge API
  • An API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the access token is valid and has not expired; otherwise, authentication errors may occur.
  • If SSL certificate validation fails and the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option is not enabled, the request will be blocked; enable this option only if you trust the server.
  • 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.
