Homebridge plugin for the AlarmDecoder interface for Honeywell and DSC Alarm Systems. Exposes the security system and all zones (via Contact Sensors and Motion Sensors) to Apple's Homekit. Control your alarm through Siri.
I had AlarmDecoder working perfectly with my HOOBS 3 setup. Then my Pi died so I got a new HOOBS running newer software, specifically Homebridge 1.3.4 and Node 14.17.6. Now I am getting the following error when starting Homebridge. This is the same setup and config I was using before.

In doing a little more research it appears the newer version of Node is more strict on it’s HTTP parsing. This might be an issue with the Content-Length header from the AlarmDecoder box when sending notifications.
