Two PiHoles with One Plugin about homebridge-pihole

[markiljas]

You're absolutely right, that did it! After I removed the (R) from accessory, it worked and now I can control both PiHoles from HomeKit.

Thanks a lot!

Hi @markiljas! How did you configure the plugin?

[markiljas]

Thank you for replying so quickly!

Here's a part of the configuration:

"description": "List of devices controlled by Jarvis",
    "accessories": [
        {
            "name": "Pihole",
            "auth": "2e4f262928d8b841ced31840d285a69965b0353c75662c303fc46cdb2d83b053",
            "ssl": false,
            "host": "10.0.10.4",
            "port": 80,
            "baseDirectory": "/admin/",
            "time": 0,
            "reversed": false,
            "logLevel": 1,
            "accessory": "Pihole"
        }
    ],
    "platforms": [
        {
            "name": "Config",
            "port": 8080,
            "restart": "sudo -n systemctl restart homebridge",
            "auth": "form",
            "theme": "dark-mode",
            "tempUnits": "c",
            "lang": "auto",
            "sudo": true,
            "log": {
                "method": "systemd",
                "service": "homebridge"
            },
            "platform": "config"

When I tried to add my 2nd PiHole, I copied the accessory right below (before Platform segment) and edited information, like this:

"description": "List of devices controlled by Jarvis",
    "accessories": [
        {
            "name": "Pihole",
            "auth": "2e4f262928d8b841ced31840d285a69965b0353c75662c303fc46cdb2d83b053",
            "ssl": false,
            "host": "10.0.10.4",
            "port": 80,
            "baseDirectory": "/admin/",
            "time": 0,
            "reversed": false,
            "logLevel": 1,
            "accessory": "Pihole"
        },
        {
            "name": "Pihole (R)",
            "auth": "2e4f262928d8b841ced31840d285a69965b0353c75662c303fc46cdb2d83b053",
            "ssl": false,
            "host": "10.0.10.6",
            "port": 80,
            "baseDirectory": "/admin/",
            "time": 0,
            "reversed": false,
            "logLevel": 1,
            "accessory": "Pihole (R)"
        }
    ],
    "platforms": [
        {
            "name": "Config",
            "port": 8080,
            "restart": "sudo -n systemctl restart homebridge",
            "auth": "form",
            "theme": "dark-mode",
            "tempUnits": "c",
            "lang": "auto",
            "sudo": true,
            "log": {
                "method": "systemd",
                "service": "homebridge"
            },
            "platform": "config"

The password is the same, hence the auth is the same. When there is only one accessory, it works fine, but two kills the whole Homebridge setup. If you need any more information, just let me know!

Thanks

What I do think that causes the crash it’s the "accessory": "Pihole (R)" in your second accessory as Homebridge couldn’t find any plugin named Pihole (R), in fact the accessory property must always be set to Pihole.
