Adding th Oppo player to the Home app

Since HomeKit expects only one Oppo per bridge they will be declared as external accessories and acts as a bridge.
This means that a device will not appear in your Home app until you add it!

To add the Oppo to HomeKit follow this steps:

1. Open the Home app on your device.
2. Tap the Home tab, then tap .
3. Tap Add Accessory, and select I Don't Have a Code or Cannot Scan or More Options... whichever is available.
4. Select the accessory you want to pair.
5. Enter the Homebridge PIN, this can be found under the QR code in Homebridge UI or your Homebridge logs, alternatively you can select Use Camera and scan the QR code again.

Troubleshooting

If you have any issues with the plugin or Oppo services then you can run homebridge in debug mode, which will provide some additional information. This might be useful for debugging issues.

Homebridge debug mode:

homebridge -D

Deep debug log, add the following to your config.json:

"deepDebugLog": true

This will enable additional extra log which might be helpful to debug all kind of issues. Just be aware that this will produce a lot of log information so it is recommended to use a service like https://pastebin.com/ when providing the log for inspection.

Note: Controls won't update if the plugin does not receive a confirmation message from the device

Known Issues

The Oppo player tends to disconnect from Hemebridge frequently after a while for no apparent reason. So, to get a stable connection again you need to do the following:

• Disable IP Controls and Network Standby
• Power cycle the device
• Enable IP Controls and Network Standby
• Keep the device turned on
• Reset Homebridge
