getName returns "undefined" value

[gdavids57]

The plug-in was working fine and then started throwing a getName error as indicated in Error after I activated an Hesperus automation using the output from the plug-in. I deactivated the automation but the problem persisted. As you can see in the accessory configuration, "name" is defined. I tried configuring a getter URL, "getName" to no avail.

That is a very strange behavior. Can you try with a non-0 "forceRefreshDelay"? Like 5, for example...

I set the forceRefreshDelay to five and debug and polling to false. I also left the getName emitter in the configuration. Now the plug-in works. I'm still not certain why I need to configure a getName emitter when the plug-in already has a "name" attribute.
