I get those warnings to when running forever, but apparently this doesn't matter because homebridge is working.

That's not a critica's warming. After that it should run.

I also got a couple of switches that disconnected and can't find anymore. Restarting homebridge doesn't have any effect. Someone found a solution?

i think you should use the program "putty", and i think there is a lot more debug log above

i remember i had an error with "mdns" not sure how i solved it, but for sure you have to add the required packages first (with apt-get) before installing this.

if you did not do the apt-get , i suggest to remove the solver, do this, and start again

something like

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libnss-mdns libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

Start from the beginning you mean? I did use apt-get. I don't know how to remove it though. I'm not too good with the command line side of raspberry pi. Thank you for the reply Image

you should have a homebridge folder in your home folder

cd ~
sudo rm -Rf homebridge

It looks like simon_rb might have the same problem as I do, as gizmocuz says the errors above are more informative - it seems to try to use a port out of bounds - which is in a dns routine, gizmocuz what did you do with mdns to sort this out?:

Code: Select all

/home/pi/homebridge/lib/HAP-NodeJS/node_modules/mdns/lib/advertisement.js:56
  dns_sd.DNSServiceRegister(self.serviceRef, flags, ifaceIdx, name,
         ^

good question, not sure anymore

#1 use the above apt-get command
#2 install the mdns packet
npm install mdns
#3 remove the homebridge folder
#4 start the homebridge tutorial again

something like this, and google helped me too

Done above and I have the same errors. It does find all my devices but can control them as it doesn't stay running. I am running default ports on Domoticz.. I'm completely at a loss. No idea what to google to try and get it working.

Then it hangs.

Any ideas??

Simon_rb, it does not stay running after Restart of your machine?

Pvm, it doesn't run at all. It crashes before it runs. It finds all of my devices but then crashes. My devices show up within the insteon app on my iPhone but can't do anything with them as they do not respond...

Very puzzling.

I added a little to the wiki and cleaned up some syntax for ease of use.

What happens if you run npm test in the Hombridge directory?

I don't think homebridge provides a test package - see npm help:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ npm help test
NAME
       npm-test - Test a package

SYNOPSIS
           npm test [-- <args>]
           npm tst [-- <args>]

DESCRIPTION
       This runs a package's "test" script, if one was provided.

       To run tests as a condition of installation, set the npat config to true.
So running in homebridge directory should give:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/homebridge $ npm test

> [email protected] test /home/pi/homebridge
> echo "Error: no test specified"

Error: no test specified

That's correct. That's the error I got.

I don't know what to try now! Image

Maybe I need to remove npm, node from the system completely and start again.. What would be the best way of doing that? Tried sudo NPM Unintsall but that didn't work
