This may be due to insufficient permissions. Can you rerun homebridge with sudo?

blubber commented 8 years ago

WOL requires root privileges, run homebrdige as root as @AlexGustafsson suggested. You can also try to use the raw socket capability, see man 7 raw: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/raw.7.html

Hello, i`m new here. I hope my questions are not so stupid. I have installed hombridge and harmony plugin. It all works fine. I had installed homebridge-wol. After installation i have the same error as killervette. My knowledge in linux is no so good but i work on it. Can you tell me step by step what i must do? I know, its a problem with permissions but i dont understand what is the trick. I read the man-page but i don´t understand it. I hope you can help me.

Instead of typing homebridge to start it, type sudo homebridge. That will run it as root

AlexGustafsson commented 8 years ago

@sowieso-stefan: @killervette is correct. Try to run with root permission - that is sudo homebridge to start.

Thanks a lot. I try it and Hope it Works
