@ michbeck100: Which version did you intall?
-
Pimatic & Node 8.0
-
@ortin The current version. Can’t remember the exact version. Why are you asking?
Are we talking about problems when installing or problems when running pimatic?pimatic-hap - pimatic HomeKit bridge
pimatic-echo - Amazon echo integration
pimatic-dash-button - Amazon dash button support

Probably the version of Node. But it seems the big bug problem is not going away, i would advise you to follow THIS how-to on a fresh install. Keep in mind that there are a lot of troubles with the latest version so please use
npm install pimatic@0.9.42
Good luck!

Are we talking about problems when installing or problems when running pimatic?I am running on 0.9.42. I tried many times to install 0.9.43 or 0.9.44a. But it doesn’t work… If you run newer then 0.9.42 then I really like to know how you did it.
-
if pimatic itself works on node 8 than its fine for me. I think i can manage to get most of the plugins working.
-
Hi everybody,
that doesn’t sound as I could help by doing another test-installation. Am I right?
(I have no clue about ‘Node-Updates’ and their consequences )

@pedder If you have another pi lying around or by using nvm (node version manager).

@michbeck100, yes I do have another PI lying around, but I’m struggling what your answer means, sorry I’m not that deep in all that technical stuff.
My offer is, that if it would help, I could do another test-installation on whatever version of Pimatic and whatever version of Node ( understood meanwhile, that this is referring to the Java-Version!?)
But for doing this, I need some relatively clear guidance, how to check and maybe change the Node-Version and what Pimatic installation guide I shall follow.
In reference to the second: I fear that about Installation, there are meanwhile so many different information in the different threats, that one on a user-level (as me) might loose a bit the overview
Otherwise I fear, that in the end only testing blind around this would become needless… -
@pedder I will create an installation guide for running my node v8 branch.
But honestly I think we would need some developers for testing (no offense), as there will be a lot of errors for every used plugin.
What we don’t need is a forum thread full of error reports, but what we need is pull requests to fix these errors. And I don’t want to be one who fixes all of them, I don’t have the time for this. And a lot of plugins I can’t even test as I don’t own the infrastructure (like wifi bulbs).But I still think this is doable. And all plugins that aren’t migrated to node 8 will get deprecated I guess.

That sounds good. I will search my old Pi 2 and run the node 8 branch.
I suggest to describe the installation with nvm to simply have the possibility to change node version. I think you know what I mean.In the next days I hopefully have some time to test some of my plugins.
-
If there are incompatibilities (I’m sure there will be some) I suggest to publish the plugins with a node8 postfix to let the users choose the version and be compatible with the old pimatic version.
-
@saxnpaule I don’t think that using a postfix will work, as pimatic has its own update mechanism, which probably doesn’t allow letters in the version. But maybe the mechanism can detect the compatible pimatic version range. I suggest that pimatic with node 8 support gets a new version number 0.10.x. And all plugins compatible with 0.10.x should be marked as such

No I didn’t mean the version number. I meant the Plugin name like pimatic-myplugin-node8
-
@saxnpaule I see, but I still find the different versions better, as this won’t double the number of plugins in the plugin list

Yes, but what about users running the old version of pimatic? If they try to install a “new” Plugin it will break. They don’t have the possibility to select a specific version.
Manual installation of a specific version could be made by you or me but not by the default end-user.
But if pimatic Plugin manager could differentiate between (in) compatible version this would be the best solution.
-
@saxnpaule If someone is running pimatic 0.9.x then he will only be able to install plugins that are compatible with 0.9.x. This must be implemented in the update manager. Maybe it is already?

Yes, I totally agree. @mwittig is there already such a mechanism?
-
I would say there is: https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic/blob/6149d9179226b41de033f80a1002ae5221311700/lib/plugins.coffee#L256

@michbeck100, everything fine, I don’t want you to push to fix all my ‘personal’ errors😉
I only offered my support, on basis of that low level technical Pimatic skill I have, nothing more.
Currently my main PI is running fine on 0.9.42, so no stress 😊
I will follow the discussion and see were I may jump in to test something.
Thanks for your reply👍😃 -
@pedder THX, there will definitely the need for testers once the plugins are migrated to node 8.
