Overview
This node integrates with the Homebridge API to perform various operations related to Homebridge, a platform for integrating smart home devices. Specifically, the "Backup & Restore" resource allows users to manage backups of their Homebridge setup. The "List Scheduled Backups" operation retrieves a list of all scheduled backup tasks configured in Homebridge.
This node is beneficial for users who want to automate backup management within their smart home environment, ensuring that configurations and data are regularly saved without manual intervention. For example, a user can schedule periodic backups and then use this node to monitor or retrieve the list of those scheduled backups as part of an automation workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Access Token | Access token obtained from a prior login operation or entered manually to authenticate API requests. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the list of scheduled backups retrieved from the Homebridge API. This JSON typically includes details such as backup names, schedules, timestamps, and statuses. The output structure allows subsequent nodes in the workflow to process or analyze the backup schedule information.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Homebridge API.
- Needs an access token for authentication, which can be provided either by connecting to a Login node or manually entering it.
- The node expects the Homebridge server URL to be configured in credentials or environment settings.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication Errors: If the access token is missing, invalid, or expired, the node will fail to retrieve scheduled backups. Ensure the token is correctly provided and valid.
- Connection Issues: Network problems or incorrect server URLs can prevent communication with the Homebridge API. Verify the server URL and network connectivity.
- Empty Results: If no scheduled backups are configured, the output JSON may be empty or contain an empty list. Confirm that backups are scheduled in the Homebridge system.
