Install Error on HB 1.5.0

[mariusstrom]

Hi there - I'm trying to install 1.2.3 on HB 1.5.0 on Raspbian. I'm getting the following error:

Any suggestions? Other plugins both update and clean-install just fine, it's only this one that fails. I've also tried to manually install `npm install -g govee-bt-client, which works.. but then installing homebridge-plugin-govee fails trying to rename the govee-bt-client folder in /usr/lib/node_modules.

I have this issue as well.

I'm noticing the latest version on GitHub shows release 1.2.5 but on npmjs.com it shows 1.2.3 from 5 months ago. I wonder if somehow the versions are out of sync?

I can't update past 1.16 same errors as above

[maodelg]

Can anyone comment on the issues? I have not been able to use this plugin... 1.16 stopped working for me, no longer connects with my BLE sensors, and the update to the latest version continues to fail due to some type of Github permissions problem...

Also having this issue

@asednev perhaps you could republish the package? As @mariusstrom pointed out above, the versions don't match between github and npmjs. But I'm also seeing in homebridge the release notes simply say 1.2.5 but when updating it's going for 1.2.3.

Though the error does seem specific to the govee-bt-client module, hopefully it is as simple as the version numbers not being as expected.

@arjunmehta thanks for tagging me. There must've been an issue with publishing 1.2.5 to npm. I just published 1.2.7 which is the same code as 1.2.5. Please try again.

Thank you for the quick work on this @asednev! Seems to work just great now. Thanks again!
