Pimatic-Hap

---

@michbeck100
Hello,
i changed my System to an HP MicroServer Gen8. I’m now working with UbuntuServer LTS 16.04.
Everything is working really nice.
But the Problem is, i can’t start to configure my HAP. I have installed the needed packages, I restarted the server several times, i was already searching for an hap-database folder (in the older config you had to delete this folder to make a new house-config). But nothing will work…

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Chris

Hello! I have Pimatic with HAP on a VirtualMachine.

Did you install these packages as well?

Installation
>>Since this plugin uses HAP-NodeJS, libnss-mdns and libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev must be installed on a raspberry pi:

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

Yes i have already installed this packages.

@chris Did you activate debug mode? Please report if there is anything in the logs.

@chris I will try to update the hap-nodejs dependency, maybe that helps. Could take some time though. If you feel adventurous you can set the version yourself (in node_modules/pimatic-hap/package.json), then run

sudo npm install 

in the pimatic-hap folder and restart pimatic.

Because of i’m not at home until sunday,
i won’t take the aventure

I will wait… thanks a lot @michbeck100

so solved. (have to test when i’m at home)
so lets resume:
i installed manually via “npm install”

• ed25519
• bindings
• hap-nodejs
• debug (in the hap-nodejs folder)
• copied the package.json from pimatic-git to pimatic-app folder

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

edit:

So at home again i had some time to test and to configure.
everything works fine now…

@chris so your Problem was solved using the new version of hap-nodejs?

Yes after installing the new version of hap-nodejs it was working.
