Error: value required in setHeader("SecurityToken", value).

[LwsBtlr]

I have my lift master setup in home bridge. When I issue a command to open the door, ("Hey Siri, open the Garage Door" I get: Error:valuerequired in setHeader("SecurityToken", value). In the .err log, and [Garage Door] Logged in with user ID undefined in the .log

I have defined the Garage Door in config.json as follows:
{
"accessory": "LiftMaster",
"name": "Garage Door",
"description": "Chamberlain garage door opener",
"username": "user+extension@example.com",
"password": "password"
}

The user+extension@example.com is the email address I have registered with Chamberlain, of course.

I was wondering what the solution is because I have the exact same error/issue and can't find a resolution. Thank you in advance.

Do you have a firewall that inspects the https connections? I had the same issue and i had to disable the inspect for the mac address of the rapsberry pi

[toolman1]

Thank you for responding! I do not have anything like that in place. I'm using an Apple AirPort Extreme router, my main machine is an iMac. I can easily connect to my Pi via VNC or Remote Desktop.

Out of curiosity what happens if you remove the description line from your
config? Sorry that I probably won't be that much help as I have multiple
garage doors and I didn't have that error. Are you running the newest
version of the plugin? When I had an issue that was similar it was on an
older version that had been used for testing purposes with other issues
that I and some others had.

[toolman1]

I don't have a description line in my config.json. I installed:

sudo npm install -g homebridge-liftmaster

Does that not grab the latest version? And if there is a different way to install it, what's the easiest way to remove the old version (I'm still new to this)

Thanks again

[AppleTechy]

That should be pulling the newest version.. Have you tried uninstalling the
plugin and then reinstalling? Are you both running it on an RPI?

[toolman1]

Yes, a brand new one I just got this morning RPi2 Model B http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XVAVAW

I haven't figured out how to uninstall yet.

One more thing. This is a Craftsman Assurelink garage door opener, which is made by LiftMaster. Is there anything I need to do differently to make it work with Assurelink?

[AppleTechy]

Hang on a for a couple minutes. Let me switch over to my computer. So I
can review everything. And take a look at the assured link. Are you on our
slack channel yet?

[toolman1]

I'm afraid I'm not, but I'm more than happy to go there if you give me a link!

[AppleTechy]

@toolman1 Check the Readme file on the main Homebridge page or use this link Slack

[toolman1]

I'm there now

@toolman1, sorry i am late but have you looked at assurelink plugin for your assurelink device yet? Its a modified version for assurelink
https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-assurelink

[toolman1]

The one I installed was:

npm install homebridge-assurelink

Are you saying there's a newer version?

No there is not a updated version, is is working for you with that plugin?

[toolman1]

Definitely! Although now I'm using Wink app with the Homebridge Wink plugin
because it gives me HomeKit notifications, whereas if I use the assurelink
plugin it does not.
