Are you using CGate 3.2?
If so you will need to change some text in CGate config

Thanks Daryl, I am using Cgate ver 2.11.4 and it show Clipsal in the config file?
Any other ideas?

You can see in that issue I was getting a similar message when Homebridge wasn't getting the expected reply from CGate.
Maybe have a look at the CGate logs.
If you are using a raspberry pi there is a script here which should make the whole setup easy.

I have reinstalled using above script from greiginsydney, still no luck, the error log is as follows:

Any help appreciated.

Did you see Greig's script will create and populate the config.json file?
I see you have some other plugins so I'm not sure how that would work if you already had them setup.
Perhaps just start again with a fresh sd card and skip the other plugins.
If that's the problem then we can try figure a way around that.

Which raspberry pi and which CBus interface are you using?
