How did you try to install?
I did the following in a new environment and it worked fine. npm install https://github.com/Daniel-t/node-red-contrib-milight

Also npm -v reports 3.5.2 for me, can you try updating npm?

Will give it a try again tonight. Thanks On 29 Mar 2016 6:46 am, "Daniel-t" notifications@github.com wrote:

I think it might be a issue with theThingbox install. updated everything and received new errors.

npm WARN enoent ENOENT, open '/home/pi/package.json' npm WARN pi No description npm WARN pi No repository field. npm WARN pi No README data npm WARN pi No license field.

Thanks for your time and help

They look like warnings only (which I should fix anyway), can you check your node_modules directory and see if the milight and node-red-contrib-milight modules are there. On Thu, 31 Mar 2016 at 12:04, BenMtl notifications@github.com wrote:

[Daniel-t]

I'll set some time aside over the weekend to try a complete fresh install. Just out of curiosity, what browser are you using? I've seen some similar log messages attached to issues around safari. On Wed, 6 Apr 2016 at 23:26, BenMtl notifications@github.com wrote:

Good news, I've replicated the problem, something changed between 8 Apr 21:02:32 - [info] Node-RED version: v0.12.1 8 Apr 21:02:32 - [info] Node.js version: v0.10.41 and 8 Apr 22:02:54 - [info] Node-RED version: v0.13.4 8 Apr 22:02:54 - [info] Node.js version: v5.10.0

I'm still trying to work out exactly what the problem is though.

[Daniel-t]

OK, I have a workaround (works for me, please confirm).

• create a 'nodes' directory under .node-red
• move node-red-contrib-milight from node_modules to nodes
• start node-red normally

I've posted this issue over on the node-red mailing list to see if there is something to fix this properly https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/node-red/Ly8P__jmdKM

[BenMtl]

That works !! thank you .. but why does it work, no other node needs that directory structure... On another note .. is it possible to access the modes on the controller.. flash, fade .. etc ?? You had posted also about thinking about changing the three nodes into one that did it all. From this side and especially as someone being new to node-red I like the three node set up it is nice and clear and easy to follow.

Thanks again for all your time and effort.

Hi Guys,

I have forked the project published to npm and fixed the nodes bug. Not sure if you want a pull request and how you want to go about the npm module.

Thanks for all your work in getting this running!

https://github.com/stephenkeep/node-red-contrib-milight

Cheers

[stephenkeep]

So things have moved on a bit. I have used a different library node-milight-promise because it supports the white and color bulbs. I have also moved it into a single node.

If you could let me know if you want a pull request or change it to a new package?

[BenMtl]

I liked the old one .. after all the trouble getting it running not sure if I want to switch.

[stephenkeep]

No worries

[BenMtl]

never worried ... stress is not allowed in life .. the old version supported white and colour bulbs also ..
