Instructions for fresh install to work around NPM/node issue

[DarylMc]

This issue was fixed with https://github.com/greiginsydney/Homebridge-cbus-installer/pull/26

Follow Greig's setup instructions but homebridge-cbus plugin needs to be installed with this method before running the script. Install homebridge-cbus Enter hb shell sudo hb-shell sudo hb-service add homebridge-cbus Exit hb shell exit Transfer xml to /home/pi Install subversion sudo apt install subversion -y Download Greig's script svn export https://github.com/greiginsydney/Homebridge-cbus-installer/trunk/code/ ~ --force sudo chmod +x setup.sh sudo -E -H ./setup.sh step1

After the reboot take a break for 5-10 minutes. Run the next script sudo -E ./setup.sh copy

It's ironic @DarylMc that you've posted this update because I finally found some time a few weeks ago to re-test the setup.md that @greiginsydney created and I tried to merge in your changes. Let me wipe the sd card I have in my raspberry pi and re-run my testing. My intention was to see if I could run both the CBUS plugin as well as the Unifi Protect cameras plugin on the same pi.

Does this ticket take over from ticket #22 that I raised?

[DarylMc]

@jensenoz Yes it addresses #22 Let me know how you go in case I missed something. I will run up another test install today. When I get a chance I will try editing Greig's setup instructions and send a pull request.

@jensenoz My list of steps if that helps FYI the latest Raspberry Pi Imager is throwing an error so I went back one version. (Mac) rpi imager advanced settings set hostname (homebridge) username (pi) password (*****) enable ssh (Mac) Generate key for ssh connections (Mac) ssh-keygen (Mac) Copy RSA key to pi (Mac) ssh-copy-id pi@homebridge.local

ssh pi@homebridge.local sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade sudo reboot sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales sudo timedatectl set-timezone Australia/Brisbane sudo reboot example File transfer (Mac-pi) scp /Users/darylmcdougall/Downloads/TEST.xml pi@homebridge.local:/home/pi example File transfer (pi -Mac) sudo scp setup.sh darylmcdougall@MacBookPro.local:/Users/darylmcdougall/Downloads

Install Homebridge-CBus Plugin sudo hb-shell sudo hb-service add homebridge-cbus exit

Run Greig's script sudo apt install subversion -y svn export https://github.com/greiginsydney/Homebridge-cbus-installer/trunk/code/ ~ --force sudo chmod +x setup.sh

sudo -E -H ./setup.sh step1 wait 5-10min after reboot sudo -E ./setup.sh copy

[jensenoz]

Apologies @DarylMc I don't quite understand the purpose of these two lines. Is this the copy over of the CBUS .XML file to the Pi?

[DarylMc]

@jensenoz Do you mean the example file transfer using scp? I just thought it might be helpful to mention how to do via terminal.

[jensenoz]

Ahh bingo. Apologies. I actually use WIN Scp and kinda thought that might be what those lines were referring to by the virtue of the SCP item in the two lines. ;)
