International Account Support

Important for Non-US Users

If your VeSync account was created outside the United States, you must configure your country code for authentication to work properly.

How to Configure Your Country Code

Option 1: Using Homebridge UI (Recommended)

1. Navigate to your Homebridge UI
2. Go to the TSVESync plugin settings
3. Click on the "Country Code" dropdown
4. Select your country from the list
5. Save and restart Homebridge

Option 2: Manual Configuration Add the countryCode field to your config.json:

{
    "platforms": [
        {
            "platform": "TSVESyncPlatform",
            "name": "TSVESync",
            "username": "YOUR_EMAIL",
            "password": "YOUR_PASSWORD",
            "countryCode": "AU"  // Replace with your country code
        }
    ]
}

Common Country Codes

Americas (US endpoint):

• 🇺🇸 United States: US (default)
• 🇨🇦 Canada: CA
• 🇲🇽 Mexico: MX

Europe (EU endpoint):

• 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: GB
• 🇩🇪 Germany: DE
• 🇫🇷 France: FR
• 🇮🇹 Italy: IT
• 🇪🇸 Spain: ES
• 🇳🇱 Netherlands: NL
• 🇸🇪 Sweden: SE
• 🇳🇴 Norway: NO
• 🇩🇰 Denmark: DK
• 🇫🇮 Finland: FI
• 🇵🇱 Poland: PL
• All other European countries

Asia-Pacific (US endpoint):

• 🇦🇺 Australia: AU
• 🇳🇿 New Zealand: NZ
• 🇯🇵 Japan: JP
• 🇸🇬 Singapore: SG
• 🇨🇳 China: CN
• 🇰🇷 South Korea: KR

How It Works

1. European accounts are automatically routed to the EU endpoint (smartapi.vesync.eu)
2. All other accounts use the US endpoint (smartapi.vesync.com)
3. The country code must match where your VeSync account was created
4. If you see "country code mismatch" errors, you need to set your country code

Common Error Messages and Solutions

"COUNTRY CODE MISMATCH DETECTED"

• Solution: Set your country code in the plugin configuration

"Both US and EU endpoints rejected your account"

• Solution: You must specify your country code - the plugin cannot automatically detect it

"Cross-region error"

• Solution: Your account is trying to authenticate with the wrong regional endpoint. Set your country code.

Troubleshooting

Authentication Issues

If you're experiencing authentication problems, you can test your credentials and determine your authentication type using the included test script:

# Test your VeSync authentication
./scripts/vesync-auth-test.sh

# Or provide credentials directly
./scripts/vesync-auth-test.sh user@example.com password

# For detailed output
./scripts/vesync-auth-test.sh -v

The script will:

• Test both NEW and LEGACY authentication methods
• Detect your account's regional endpoint (US/EU)
• Provide clear recommendations for configuration
• Show any error codes with explanations

Common Issues

1. Authentication Failed

   • For international users: Check if you need to set your country code (see International Account Support)
   • Verify your VeSync credentials are correct
   • Try logging into the VeSync app to confirm they work
   • Run the authentication test script to diagnose issues

2. "Country Code Mismatch" or "Cross-Region Error"

   • You need to configure your country code in the plugin settings
   • See the International Account Support section above
   • The country code must match where your VeSync account was created

3. Devices Not Appearing

   • Check the Homebridge logs for any error messages
   • Ensure your devices are properly set up in the VeSync app
   • Verify your devices are running the latest firmware
   • For international users, ensure your country code is set correctly

4. Regional Issues

   • The plugin automatically routes to the correct endpoint based on your country code
   • EU accounts (with EU country codes) use smartapi.vesync.eu
   • All other accounts use smartapi.vesync.com
   • Australian/NZ users: Use your country code (AU/NZ) with the US endpoint

5. API Rate Limiting

   • The plugin includes automatic rate limiting
   • If you see quota errors, increase the updateInterval in your config
   • Premium accounts have higher quotas than free accounts

6. General Tips

   • Check that your devices are online in the VeSync app
   • Enable debug mode to see detailed API communication
   • Restart Homebridge after changing configuration

Development

• Clone this repository
• Install dependencies: npm install
• Build the plugin: npm run build
• Link it to your local Homebridge installation: npm link
