Help needed #45

Hi,

Hoping someone can help me with some basic install issues.

I have followed each step on this page: https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-alarmdotcom including this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-alarmdotcom/tutorial

other then some install permissions, it seems to have installed fine after these: npm install -g homebridge npm install -g homebridge-alarmdotcom no errors reported.

the part that is confusing to me is where to I put config.json file. it says it has to be ~/.homebridge/config.json

without it, it does not complain, nor any error messages. I then tried to create a .homebridge folder, but found it odd to have to manually create it.

Is this folder supposed to be automatically installed or do I have to create it?

Then inside the config.json file do I just put (with my variables of course), should there be more?: { "platforms": [ { "platform": "Alarmdotcom", "name": "Security Panel", "username": "test@example.com", "password": "testpassword", "apiKey": "wrapapikeygoeshere", "apiUsername": "wrapapiusername" } ] }

thanks in advance.

@mikegyverCT This seems like a homebridge issue. You may want to create an issue there. The .homebridge folder should automatically be created in your home folder upon installation. Again, you should check over there for help.
