There was a problem reading your config.json file.

I followed the instructions;

Created a config.json with: "platforms": [ { "platform": "ZWayServer", "url": "http://192.168.1.32:8083/", "login": "[admin]", "password": "[mypassword]" } ]

Run homebridge

Log:

The linter does not like the 'platforms:' bit of the json file, but if I remove it, homebridge will not start.

Help!

The JSON snippet in this plugin's readme only includes the section you add for homebridge-zway...a complete config.json would look like this:

{
    "bridge": {
        "name": "Homebridge",
        "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
        "port": 51826,
        "pin": "031-45-154"
    },

    "platforms": [
        {
            "platform": "ZWayServer", 
            "url": "http://192.168.1.32:8083/", 
            "login": "[admin]", 
            "password": "[mypassword]"
        }
    ]
}

Apparently I need to modify the README because a lot of folks are having trouble with this...I think in the beginning people were finding Homebridge first (and its docs) and then finding this plugin, and now it's the reverse.
