Can somebody help?

@chris321 To install the plugin on a Debian or Raspbian system libudev-dev must be installed.

sudo apt-get install libudev-dev

Following this, try to install the plugin again. You may want to do this from the command line as follows:

cd /home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-led-light/
sudo npm install

Thx - now it works, but I have another issue. If I select a color for my milight I got an error message oops color not supported - some colors are working, some not. For class in device configuration I use milight - is there a solution for this?

@chris321 Several issues have been reported. See https://github.com/philip1986/pimatic-led-light/issues

Most of these issues have been fixed, but the pull request have not been merged yet. If you are familiar with using git you can pull my fork which works fine with milight: https://github.com/mwittig/pimatic-led-light

Please let me know if you need further guidance

Thank you for your support - I need further assistence how to use git to pull your fork.

@chris321 You can do as follows (assuming pimatic has been installed on raspi as described in “Getting Started” including “Installing globally”)

• Make sure ‘git’ is installed on your raspi by simply typing the command in the command shell. If command not found you can install git as follows: sudo apt-get install git
• Then you need to perform the following steps

sudo service pimatic stop
cd /home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/
sudo rm -rf pimatic-led-light
git clone https://github.com/mwittig/pimatic-led-light.git
cd pimatic-led-light
npm i
sudo service pimatic start

If you want to switch back to the release version at later point in time you can do this as follows:

sudo service pimatic stop
cd /home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/
sudo rm -rf pimatic-led-light
cd ..
npm i pimatic-led-light
sudo service pimatic start

tnx - now it works

@chris321 That’s great. I’ll set the thread to “Solved”.

@mwittig I still have a problem - I got the error message of a missing led-light-template:

error [pimatic-mobile-frontend]: Client error: Unable to process binding “template: function (){return { name:$root.getItemTemplate,foreach:$data.getUngroupedDevices(),afterRender:$data.afterRenderDevice} }” Message: Cannot find template with ID led-light-template

Do I have to install another plugin?
