Operations and Troubleshooting

Enable debug logging, review privacy redaction, run troubleshooting scripts, and protect accessories from unexpected removal.

Debug Mode

Enable plugin debug logging by turning on Homebridge debug mode so verbose output stays isolated per bridge and bug reports include complete detail.

Test and REPL Scripts

Run the bundled hap-test-api and hap-repl commands to diagnose ADT Pulse portal access and inspect plugin behavior without entering node_modules.

Detection and Privacy

Report undocumented sensor and panel statuses back to the plugin author automatically, with personally identifiable fields redacted before anything is sent.

Stale Accessory Protection

Guard against accidental removal of accessories by enabling Homebridge orphan retention and backing up your Home setup with the Home+ app.
