Hi everyone, I’ve been using the iCloud binding for over a year now, and while it’s been a great addition to my smart home setup, I’ve noticed some reliability issues. Every second refresh, almost without fail, I encounter an error that causes all my devices to go offline. The error logs are quite detailed, but I’m not entirely sure how to resolve them. Here’s what I’ve been experiencing:
Every 5 minutes, the refresh function is set to run, but almost every second attempt ends in an error. The devices then go offline, which disrupts my routines and automations. I’ve tried adjusting the refresh interval, but it doesn’t seem to help. The error message points to an EOFException, which I understand relates to an unexpected end of data during a network connection. I’m not very tech-savvy, so I’m hoping someone with more experience can shed some light on this.
I’ve also noticed that this issue doesn’t occur consistently, which makes it harder to troubleshoot. Sometimes, the devices stay online for hours without any problems, but other times, it seems like the connection is lost almost immediately after a refresh. I’ve checked my network settings and ensured that there are no firewalls blocking the necessary ports, but that hasn’t resolved the issue either.
I’ve come across some suggestions online about adjusting the binding configuration or updating to the latest version of the binding, but I’m not entirely sure how to implement those changes safely. I’d really appreciate any advice or tips on how to improve the reliability of the iCloud binding. Maybe there’s a setting I’m missing or a configuration tweak that could make a difference.
In the meantime, I’ve been manually refreshing the devices whenever I notice they’ve gone offline, but it’s not a sustainable solution. I’m hoping to find a more permanent fix so I can fully rely on the iCloud binding without constant interruptions.
If anyone has experienced similar issues or has successfully resolved them, I’d be grateful for any insights or solutions you might have. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other out!
Cheers,
