Latest NPM install dosn't include shutter accessory

[srpage]

Not sure what I am doing wrong but I am installing ver 5.3 through NPM but can't get it to install the shutter accessory or update the index etc. Have uninstalled, re installed & tried updating all with the same results. Any help would be appreciated. thanks,

What leads you to believe you have version 5.3? Are you installing globally?

@anthony would be a good idea to print out the version number upon startup.

@srpage my startup includes the lines:

thanks @srpage -- yep, also looks to me that you definitely have 0.5.3.

i don't see any accessory in the initialisation list that looks like it is driving blinds. can you please paste in a copy of your config file?

[srpage]

The config is below. The problem is that the accessory for shutters is not being installed. Same with updates to the index.js and utils.js. I have uninstalled all and reinstalled and get the same response. Do you know if I can install them manually?

Config is below

platforms": [ { "platform": "homebridge-cbus.CBus", "name": "CBus", "client_ip_address": "192.168.0.120", "client_controlport": 20023, "client_eventport": 20024, "client_statusport": 20025, "client_cbusname": "OWEN", "client_network": 254, "client_application": 56, "client_debug": true, "accessories": [ { "type": "dimmer", "id": "205", "name": "Office Light" }, { "type": "dimmer", "id": "204", "name": "Spare Bed Light" }, { "type": "dimmer", "id": "203", "name": "Greta Bed Light" }, { "type": "dimmer", "id": "201", "name": "Main Bed Light" }, { "type": "dimmer", "id": "101", "name": "Kitchen Lights" }, { "type": "dimmer", "id": "113", "name": "Dinning Fan Lights" }, { "type": "dimmer", "id": "104", "name": "Dinning Lights" }, { "type": "dimmer", "id": "111", "name": "Couch Lights" }, { "type": "dimmer", "id": "102", "name": "Fan Lights" }, { "type": "dimmer", "id": "103", "name": "TV Lights" }, { "type": "dimmer", "id": "115", "name": "Hall Light" },

  }

}

OK. I think I found the issue. The package does not contain the files. https://registry.npmjs.org/homebridge-cbus/-/homebridge-cbus-0.5.3.tgz

homebridge-cbus-0.5.3.tgz.zip

[anthonywebb]

Can you elaborate on which files are not included?

[anthonywebb]

I pushed 0.5.4, that should have everything you need.

[srpage]

Yipee, All installed and blinds working now.

[simonhac]

@srpage very glad it works for you. (i think that's my first OSS contribution.)

[ElphaX]

Srpage, is there any chance we could get a demo on the blinds working in the app and siri? Sorry to bother you.
