Crashing on startup

[djensenius]

I’m getting this error:

Which Pi are you using? have you installed the required packages?

[djensenius]

Pi 3.

I’ve installed the required packages.
Running as root.

Wondering if it’s calling binding.node correctly or if I need to install that by source?

[honkmaster]

Could you check

ln -s nodejs node

[djensenius]

ln: failed to create symbolic link 'node': File exists```

root@raspberrypi:/usr/bin# node --version
v8.10.0```

[honkmaster]

I am very new to node, and thus have no further idea.

[honkmaster]

Ou could check issues from other projects such as:

reelyactive/pi-suite#1
noble/bleno#140

Maybe they help.

[djensenius]

Found the problem was that I needed to do this:

npm install --unsafe-perm -g bluetooth-hci-socket

[honkmaster]

Perfect. Will add this later to a FAQ.

[orilpik]

@djensenius Thanks man! It works for me now!!

[Bankaifan]

Ich bekomme einen ähnlichen Fehler beim Booten

Musste heute die HB neu aufsetzen. Habe ich genau an die Anleitung gehalten. Leider ohne erfolgt.
Ich habe mich auf diese Anleitung verlassen https://smartapfel.de/anleitung-homebridge-auf-einem-raspberry-pi-einrichten/

Den Vorschlag von djensenius habe ich bereits versucht.

Have you tried:

npm install --unsafe-perm -g bluetooth-hci-socket

Are you running HB as root?

[Bankaifan]

Yes and yes. I have Now Set Up a new SD-Card and try installing using the App

[honkmaster]

Is this issue still relevant?

[Bankaifan]

Yes.
It seems the problem is, that the node-bluetooth-hci-socket does not work with the current node releases.
It seems that the developer does no longer work on it.
noble/node-bluetooth-hci-socket#84

[huczas]

same problem for me, is there a workaround for this problem?
node -v
v11.10.0
and when I try to install node-bluetooth-hci-socket

sudo npm install --unsafe-perm -g bluetooth-hci-socket

no clue how to install this plugin :(

For me the same Problem with Node 10.

sudo npm install --unsafe-perm -g bluetooth-hci-socket
it does not work -.-

[honkmaster]

Node 10 is not supported atm. Please submit a PR if you need Node 10 or higher. You can orient yourself on https://github.com/hannseman/homebridge-mi-hygrothermograph. I do not have time to provide / implement the required changes.

[honkmaster]

Closed as the plugin now supports the latest node.
