What is wrong with my config.json file?

[AlexKLMan]

Hi there, Every time I run homebridge as Root it says there is an issue: [2018-5-6 02:21:27] There was a problem reading your config.json file.

I visited the website (https://jsonlint.com/) to check what's wrong and it tells me my last line is wrong, but doesn't tell me how to fix it, coudl you help? The file is:

{ "bridge": {         "name": "Homekitbridge",         "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",         "port": 51826,         "pin": "123-45-678"     },

"platforms": [ { "platform": "Nest", "clientId": "1bbdaa10-c8e7-49c2-8b5e-628e98de033a", "clientSecret": "cVHuJVQ72nzfFx9jBsRbEl9lK", "code": "3N1MM3J7",         "token": "", "username" : "alex@example.com", "password" : "MyNestPassword" } ]

The site is saying the ] and }is the issue, but not sure how to fix this. I am editing this in Windows Notepad then copying it via PuTTY into a Nano editor, is this the issue? I am quite new to Raspberry PI, I got it because I have always been interested in home automation, so please excuse the newby question :) Thanks!

Just add another } at the end and I think you'll be fine

Thank you for the feedback, I added it, now it says somethings wrong with line 2, when I ran Homebridge it gives me this error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token   in JSON at position 14
at JSON.parse ()
at Server._loadConfig (/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/lib/server.js:201:19

Thank you for your help!

    "bridge": {
        "name": "Homekitbridge",
        "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
        "port": 51826,

Hey chrisjshull, It works thank you! What was the issue formatting I asume? Being blind must have missed a space or something. I am experiencing a new issue now when I added Homebridge to my Home app, it says: "Additional setup required. Add related accessories with home assistant in the manufacturer’s app"

I tried looking on the Nest app with no luck, also tried using apps such as Insteon+ and Ezzi Home but they can't find any new devices, although Ezzi Home did find my Homebridge, but I don't see any options to get it working, just that Homebridge is running and the version history. Do you know what's wrong now? Thank you so much!

Sorry, can't tell just from that. Try filing a bug report at the new repo: https://github.com/chrisjshull/homebridge-nest/issues/new/choose (be sure to fill out the requested info)
