libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev doesn't exist anymore? #5

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

When installing libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev I got this error:

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found: libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev@latest

starting nhc-homehit gives this error:

module.js:327
    throw err;
    ^

Could it be that this lib doesn't exist anymore?

You need to install those libs manually using your package manager (apt if you’re using a Debian derived distro). Once you’ve done that the npm install should run just fine.

I thought npm was my package manager? I just typed

npm install -g libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

and got

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found: libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev@latest

I'm on Synology and node v4.8.4 btw...

kevinbungeneers commented 6 years ago

Well, NPM is the package manager for NodeJS. The avahi libs are not npm packages and need to be installed via apt-get or yum, for example. You’ll need to google how to get those packages installed on your synology.

@StevenGrow

Steven take a look at the below to install Debian Chroot on your synology https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-install-pi-hole-on-a-synology-nas/289 https://www.npmjs.com/package/synology/tutorial and than the libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev package http://www.ax10m.de/2016/05/homebridge-on-synology/

I will also try to get this working on synology and possibly turn it into a docker container.

extric99 commented 6 years ago

Seems there is an issue due to version incompatibility with the above. Seems it is missing "make" for which you need the developer tools from build-essential also mentioned in the homebridge link above

To get to the right version and start it: curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs sudo apt-get install build-essential git sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon avahi-discover libnss-mdns libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev sudo npm install nhc-homekit --unsafe-perm sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start sudo systemctl restart nhc-homekit.service (to run it as service and exit to prompt)

I stoppped using this and moved to OpenHab where I have my Homekit running rock solid. I can also use it to connect to hue and other things which is great.

https://community.openhab.org/t/niko-home-control/3482/116

When using a PI you can install openhabian. At first it is a little challenging but feel free to contact me for pointers on setting up your homecontrol on it. I even have multiple users and geofencing working rock solid with full automation.

Tonio1180 commented 6 years ago

Hi, I see my Niko items on openHab, but when I add openHab accessory on Homekit, it says that the openHab is "not supported". Do you know how to resolve that ? Thanks.

smiesko99 commented 6 years ago

Hi

i had the same problem. but after configuring home.items in /etc/openhab2/items my hub is conected you can check this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUudW7ajQQ8

my problem now is that i have my switch light in homekit but when i switch on and switch off nothing happened. i think problem is that i have on my niko installation names of switch with "space" (kitchen light) i change in paper UI the name of my niko switch to name withou space "kitchenlight" as you need to have in home.items things like this Switch Light_Test "Light Livingroom" [ "Lighting" ] but not in my niko installaiton extric99 am i right ? do i need also in my niko installaion change the name of switch to name without space ?

thanks

extric99 commented 6 years ago

I am currently traveling for work so I will post my configuration later this week. I suggest having this discussion on the openHAB community forum. Happy to help anywhere I can. Just send me the forum link

smiesko99 commented 6 years ago

Hi

i asked on openhab web you advice me https://community.openhab.org/t/niko-home-control/3482/118 i have my NIKO working with homekit right now :) i only need som configuration and little help wit rollershuter and som rules

extric99 commented 6 years ago

Great. For me adding a Hue hub which is a certified device made it rock stable. You can also than invite other people (wife, kids) and do rules with geofencing.I have rules that when I or my girlfriend come home the lights go on automatically in the hall and kitchen. When both of us leave the house everything is shut down automatically. It is a small investment of 100 euro but was worth it for me. Without a certified hub the invitations will not go out to other iCloud accounts.

Below is my a part of my items file. There is a beta version of the homekit to control roller shutter but have not tried it. I will now try the Habpanel coding to create my own dashboards.

Small tip backup your config files and sd card. Easy to break stuff.

Although I think it's great that you guys found a better alternative, I don't think this is the place to discuss this. More importantly, this is not related to the this issue so I'm closing this.

smiesko99 commented 6 years ago

Thanks for your time with this project Kevin

extric99 can i wrote you email ? my is serrrano at gmail.com
