Siri / HomeKit support for Domoticz

[ivom74]

Hello,
Is there a stable install? I had node and npm running along time and worked fine after some update of the kernel software.
I use raspberry 2 model b.

I got an error with the node install which i see a lot on the internet with the same problem but no solution.
Sometime they advise complete new kernel install... (jessie's ?)

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/homebridge $ node -v
node: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by node)
node: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.16' not found (required by node)

Any linux experts for help ?

Seems to be common for folks running gnueabihf distros. That's where issue lies. All works fine with Raspbian...

What do you mean? the distro image is the problem? What distribution do I need voor raspberry pi 2 model b?

[Marci]

It's a Ubuntu problem. Use Raspbian.

I just installed Domoticz from the SD card image "domoticz-raspberrypi-sdcard-4834.7z"
Domoticz runs smooth, but as i want to run homebridge i get a segmentation fault. Also on running npm -v or node -v.

Any help welcome. Thanks...

Follow instructions for running homebridge-edomoticz in first post of the homebridge-edomoticz thread. The image contains node for arm7, and you're running it on arm6, so node needs removing and reinstalling.

All instructions are in that thread.

Thanks, i followed the instructions and node -v and npm -v both work. But when running homebridge i get this result:
Any ideas?

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~$ homebridge

Head into the homebridge folder and run sudo npm rebuild

EDIT: noticed you still have homebridge in /usr/lib/ - which instructions did you follow? Presume you went for Method 1?

[schwermie]

I did a reinstall as mentioned in the post. Homebridge starts and i see all the switches.

But when i switch nothing happens. Need to look into this issue. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks for your help...

Anything i overlooked?

Wiki is ancient. Use instructions in homebridge-edomoticz thread in this section of forums.

I can't get homebridge working with the iOS Home-app
I can add the devices with the Home-app, this works fine,
but after that, all devices are showing the state "No Reaction"
I can use the EVE-app, this works perfect, also with devices created with the Home-app!

What do you mean? the distro image is the problem? What distribution do I need voor raspberry pi 2 model b?

Did you manage to solve this?

Homekit runs on my raspberry. But I have also installed the edomoticz-homebridge plugin. There I have some problems. So I looked at the homebridge.err file and found some problems. How can I fix this?

I tried : sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon avahi-discover libnss-mdns libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

but the error still occurs. Thanks a lot!

[Marci]

When TheRamon said ask the homebridge guys, that means go to the homebridge site over on GitHub and report in their 'issues' section.

No-one here has anything to do with Homebridge itself.

How do i install it on my synology nas ds116.

i have search a verry long time but didn't find the answer.

Thanks for the help.

[harrykausl]

Is there any possibility to make the comands more understandable for siri. Some comands for may blinds work, others not, Siri looks for an app ore something like this instead of opening my blinds in my living room.In other rooms it works. I changed in eve the siri names, but this doesn't help. Can I force Siri to look at first at home devices by changing the name of the devices.

I just spend a few hours having the same issue.

The wiki assumes homebridge is not installed but the most recent rPi2 images have homebridge installed, but in a different location!
The wiki does mention the fact that in the case you have that more recent image, you should skip to "configure", but as of that point the wiki cannot be used. Should be adapted,

It assumes homebridge to be installed in /home/pi/homebridge, but it's in /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge

you can try to apply the wiki directions there. But you might have to change permissions:

cd /usr/lib/node_modules/
sudo chown -R pi homebridge

npm run start still gave the start script missing error.
That's because there's no start in package.json.
So I tried npm run dev (there's a dev in there).

Now it works with the new ios10 "woning" app.

Unfortunately I also used this old Wiki, before learning about Marci his instructions which I should have used.. (viewtopic.php?f=36&t=10272)

My question is; what is the correct way to remove all files created by the out-of-date- Wiki instructions?

Did you find the solution? I did exactly the same mistake
