Overview
This node integrates with the Homebridge API, allowing users to interact with various Homebridge resources. Specifically, for the Server resource and the Delete Cached Accessory operation, it enables the deletion of a cached accessory from the Homebridge server by specifying its UUID and the cache file path. This is useful in scenarios where cached accessories need to be cleared or refreshed, such as after accessory configuration changes or troubleshooting stale accessory data.
Practical examples include:
- Removing an outdated or malfunctioning cached accessory to force Homebridge to reload it.
- Cleaning up cache files during automated maintenance workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Access Token | The access token obtained from a prior login operation. If not using a connected login node, enter this token manually. |
| UUID | The unique identifier (UUID) of the cached accessory that you want to delete. |
| Cache File | The file path of the cache file where the accessory is stored. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation. Typically, this will confirm whether the cached accessory was successfully deleted or provide error details if the operation failed.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to a Homebridge server API endpoint.
- Needs an API authentication token (access token) to authorize requests.
- The base URL of the Homebridge server must be configured in the node credentials or environment.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid or missing access token: Ensure the access token is valid and has not expired. If not using a login node, verify manual entry.
- Incorrect UUID or cache file path: Double-check the UUID and cache file path values; incorrect inputs will cause the deletion to fail.
- Network or server errors: Confirm the Homebridge server is reachable and the API endpoint is correct.
- Permission issues: The API token used must have sufficient permissions to delete cached accessories.
Common error messages might indicate authorization failures, resource not found, or invalid parameters. Resolving these typically involves verifying credentials, input values, and server status.
