pimatic@0.9.53

---

Hello,
I freshly installed Pimatic@0.9.53 with Node.js version 10.16.3 and i am having trouble to install the pimatic-led-light plugin, here i think this is the important part of the ./pimatic-app/npm-debug.log:

9516 verbose pkgid usb@1.1.1
9517 verbose cwd /home/pi/pimatic-app

9524 error This is most likely a problem with the usb package,

9524 error You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:
9524 error     npm bugs usb
9524 error Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:

9524 error     npm owner ls usb
9524 error There is likely additional logging output above.
9525 verbose exit [ 1, true ]

I am using an Raspi 3 B+ with Raspbian Buster. And yes, i already installed libudev-dev.
Need more information?

Would be great if someone could help me!

@m1rk0

i have the same problem. Maybe a bug?

usb@1.1.1 isnt compatible with node version > 9, see:
https://libupdate.com/libs/59810f94-5383-4948-9036-a81895621900

how do we change the version of this lib to a newer?

@scobby Its not a bug. From your github issue I got:

23:23:48.223 [pimatic] Installing: "pimatic-telegram@1.1.14" from npm-registry.
23:23:52.767 [pimatic, ppm] WARN engine pimatic-telegram@1.1.14: wanted: {"node":">=8.0.0","npm":">1.1.x"} (current: {"node":"4.6.2","npm":"2.15.12"})
23:23:53.751 [pimatic, ppm] WARN engine telegraf@3.34.1: wanted: {"node":">=8"} (current: {"node":"4.6.2","npm":"2.15.12"})

The error clearly states you are on node 4.6.2. Telegram 1.1.14 requires a higher node version. RTM: https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/4746/pimatic-telegram-1-1-14, and instructions on how to go back to 1.1.11.

@dan i am already behind the telegram bug, i switched to node v10.
Now i have the problem that blinkenstick (dependencie of pimatic-led-light) is not compatible with node > v9 because it has a dependencie of usb@1.1.1.
And usb@1.1.1 is not compatible with node =>9.

@scobby as of today same for me, running on node 10.15 but led-light isn’t working anymore.
Can do without it since I mostly do webcalls to hyperion.
