||||
- 401 Unauthorized errors
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Verify Home Assistant is running
|
||||
2. Check HASS_HOST environment variable
|
||||
3. Validate HASS_TOKEN is correct
|
||||
4. Ensure network connectivity
|
||||
5. Check firewall settings
|
||||
|
||||
#### SSE Connection Drops
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- Missing events
|
||||
- Connection reset errors
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Check network stability
|
||||
2. Increase connection timeout
|
||||
3. Implement reconnection logic
|
||||
4. Monitor server resources
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication Issues
|
||||
|
||||
#### Invalid Token
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**

|
||||
- "Invalid token" messages
|
||||
- Authentication failures
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Generate new Long-Lived Access Token

||||
2. Check token expiration
|
||||
3. Verify token format
|
||||
4. Update environment variables
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rate Limiting
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
- 429 Too Many Requests
|
||||
- "Rate limit exceeded" messages
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Implement request throttling
|
||||
2. Adjust rate limit settings
|
||||
3. Cache responses
|
||||
4. Optimize request patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool Issues

|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Check tool name spelling
|
||||
2. Verify tool registration
|
||||
3. Update tool imports
|
||||
4. Check tool availability
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tool Execution Fails
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||

|
||||
- Unexpected responses
|
||||
- Timeout issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**

||||
1. Validate input parameters
|
||||
2. Check error logs
|
||||
3. Debug tool implementation
|
||||
4. Verify Home Assistant permissions
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
### Server Logs
|
||||
|
||||
1. Enable debug logging:
|
||||
```env
|
||||
LOG_LEVEL=debug
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Check logs:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run logs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Filter logs:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run logs | grep "error"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check API endpoints:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -v http://localhost:3000/api/health
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Monitor SSE connections:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -N http://localhost:3000/api/sse/stats
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Test WebSocket:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
wscat -c ws://localhost:3000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Issues
|
||||
|
||||
1. Monitor memory usage:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run stats
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Check response times:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -w "%{time_total}\n" -o /dev/null -s http://localhost:3000/api/health
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Profile code:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run profile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## FAQ
|
||||

||||
A: Delete `.env` and copy `.env.example` to start fresh.
|
||||
|
||||
### Q: Why are my events delayed?
|
||||
A: Check network latency and server load. Consider adjusting buffer sizes.
