@mwittig Pimatic RFXCoM is updated & works again. Right now pimatic-led-light is the only problem for me, tried updating the packages but it did not start. Since I’m only using it for Hyperion I’ll look into creating a shellswitch

Hi! My RPi4 is arriving next weekend an I want to do a fresh install on Raspbian Buster.
Upgrade from Stretch to Buster everything runs with node 4.6.2.Can I now install node 8 next weekend or is the status still testing?
Thank you!

@00lex Would be a good chance to test, don’t you think? 😬 Because all configurations are different there won’t be any guarantee that it works for you, but chances are good.

You can even go with Node v10.15.3 (LTS). You can read more about here -

@michbeck100
would you advise to go with v10.15.3 too? -
@00lex I’m still on 4.x. But that’s just because I am too lazy to do the update. Just go for it and report back what happened.

Note beyond, some plugins do not work with node v8/v10 (see earlier posts on this thread). Buster haven’t been tested yet either. If you don’t mind testing it though, please report back your findings

I did a complete installation of pimatic 0.9.48 on node 10.15.3 at the last weekend. It is running super!

don’t know. after my fail with v10, I try v4.9.1 and there was an error with some stuff.
I just read something need node >=6.
then I try successful v8 and after i retry v10.15.3 agian.
I notice with v8 and v10 I need to start piratic two times. second time to install sqlite.
with the first run I get many errors. -
okay with v10.15.3 hap doesn’t work correct. I get for every device an error “hap is not property” and there is no “hap-database” bouild.
i will try now v8.9.4.I’m slowly losing my motivation for pimatic. I use it for three years now and run from time to time over and over again into trouble. and that’s not a buster thing now. I don’t know how pimatic could be interesting for a beginner.

I think you’re far too negative here which I find rather disappointing. Your are running on a new SBC which is on the market just a few days with a new OS version which has not yet 100% adapted to the hardware. Several reports like the Heise review already indicated that early adopters may expect issues in the first weeks as drivers support is immature.
I must also say that remarks like “there was an error with some stuff” and “many plugin do not work” or making “predictions” are not helpful at all to the community.

youre right. its hot and I actually want to enjoy my free time. however v4.9.1 works as on my rpi3 @stretch on a rpi4@buster. im happy again
-
My RPI4 arrived today and I started a tested a quick test drive. Observations:
- I started with Raspbian Buster Lite as I am running the system headless mode anyway. The system image already is outdated and needs to be upgraded (
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
). The upgrade contains various driver and kernel updates. - As you already reported the sqlite3 installation failed due to a build error. I have updated the package to use the latests sqllite3 release and the build succeeded. Following this a new version of pimatic has been published
- There are still some hiccups when running pimatic node v10 like I had “undefined” error when trying to add the first device to the group view. My advice is to clear the cache before running a new pimatic setup in the browser to avoid such issues.
Btw, Pimatic is running super-fast on RPI4. In particular, network and memory IO is a lot faster. Plugin installation is just a matter of seconds

what I learned in the past years is to make a backup before update pimatic. todays backup breaks my installation

before I recover my sd card, I try something.
backup pimatic-database.sqlite hap-database and config.json, delte pimatic-app, reinstall and copy files back. everything works and its the new version.
It would be great if we can chose between stable and testing for updates.
btw. do you installed hap on your rpi4? and which version of node v10 do you use?
