Custom Notification Error - HOOBS

[davidw963]

Just integrated Alarmdecoder with HOOBS and homekit - and so far it seems to work well. However, setting up custom notifications to see when doors/windows have been opened/closed has been a challenge. I have set the custom notification up, and I can get the alarm state and button states, however when a sensor state changes, it puts out an error in the app log as follows in red:

I have the notification set up url to the Homebridge device (HOOBS) IP, including the port. So unsure where I am going sideways.

Cheers

OK Update -

looked over my notification IP as the POST/gaierror is a DNS issue - so removed the http:// and placed in my numeric IP and Port. Getting closer, but now it turns into a 404 not found error.

Thanks for any help you can give. Cheers

SOLVED! After a bit of digging around, there were some port assignment issues that had to be addressed in HOOBS. Crisis averted.

I'm having the same 404 error with my HOOBS integration. Could anyone share the port number one should use to POST back to a HOOBS server?

[gkdavids57]

The URL (including port number) one places in the custom notification configuration within AlarmDecoder web app must be the same as the "port" number one set in the config.json for the AlarmDecoder-platform plugin. Here's an excerpt from my config.json...
{
"platform": "alarmdecoder-platform",
"name": "ADT Security",
"port": "10000",

I placed "10000" in the custom configuration URL as follows: xx.xx.xx.xx:10000 and all worked as I expected. The actual value doesn't much matter so long as they match AND don't conflict with used port numbers on either system (Homebridge and AlarmDecoder).
