LIFX Client UDP error

[jbadnes]

Cant wait to use this. When I install I get this error ?

Load homebridge-lifx-lan.LifxLan LIFX Client UDP error Trace: { [Error: bind EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:56700] code: 'EADDRINUSE', errno: 'EADDRINUSE', syscall: 'bind', address: '0.0.0.0', port: 56700 } at Client.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-lifx-lan/node_modules/node-lifx/lib/lifx/client.js:147:13) at emitOne (events.js:77:13) at Socket.emit (events.js:169:7) at dgram.js:215:14 at nextTickCallbackWith3Args (node.js:453:9) at process._tickCallback (node.js:359:17) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:443:11) at startup (node.js:139:18) at node.js:974:3

Looked like the port was taken for some reason. I cleared my cache and WOW its working. Fantastic plugin. Still testing but looks like its up and working now.

I'm also having this exact error, but find myself markedly less savvy than OP. Can anyone guide me on how I can clear this port to be able to use this plugin?

bentoscano - did you ever fix this? I'm having the same issue. Thanks!

[bentoscano]

dereitz - I remember trying a plethora of things and can't remember exactly how I fixed it, sorry about that! If I do recall, I'll reply here.

Thanks, in my case, I believe that OpenHAB is already using that port. I'm just not sure how to change the port that LIFX uses or what side effects that will have.

I had this issue because I was using the LIFX component, changing the homebridge default visibility to visiblie did the trick (no need to use this plugin). The LIFX component was already using the port 56700.
