homebridge-zigbee needs to be updated for Node v12

[mrdc]

Hello,

Looks like homebridge-zigbee plugin needs to be updated for Nove v12, as it causes errors after installation on docker-homebridge with Node v12.
Details:
homebridge/docker-homebridge#250

[mkellsy]

HOOBS runs on Node 12. I have a user that can't install the plugin. Here is the log output.

It looks like one of your deps is causing the issue serialport@6.2.2. There is a new version available 8.0.5, this seems to work in Node LTS.

[markus-fischbacher]

Upgrading serialport to 8.0.5 fixes the problem.
Would be nice, if the maintainer could do that for us.

[jonnycastaway]

I contacted the maintainer. He is a bit busy but will look at the problem next week. So i think he will contact us here 😉

[halilaykent]

I have the same problem too

[DiPa2211]

I have the same problem. Did you find any other solution besides waiting for fixed version?

I tried to upgrade to serialport 8.0.6. However, that did not solve the problem

I installed serialport 8.0.6 and got this messages:

Now I don't know whether it has been installed successfully? Can you give me any hints?

[markus-fischbacher]

I‘m still waiting for the update 😉

You can downgrade Node to 10.17.0. It installs in this version.

[halilaykent]

@mkellsy But this time the homebridge config ui x wont work.

[jonnycastaway]

You can downgrade Node to 10.17.0. It installs in this version.

That‘s not a solution if you use systems like Hoobs or a ready to go homebridge image.

The only right way is to actualize the plugin.

[mkellsy]

@mkellsy But this time the homebridge config ui x wont work.

UI-X runs in 10.17.0, you need to uninstall it then reinstall it after you change the Node version.

sudo npm uninstall -g homebridge-config-ui-x

Then

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-config-ui-x

[mkellsy]

That‘s not a solution if you use systems like Hoobs or a ready to go homebridge image.

The only right way is to actualize the plugin.

I make the HOOBS img file, and as of 3.1.9 we are using 10.17.0, because many plugins don't support Node 12 yet.

[markus-fischbacher]

For those, who installed Hoobs 3 with Node 12, what is the best way to downgrade?

[mkellsy]

We have a script for that.
