Hi, I installed the plugin using this command: sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-hc-sr501 but Homebridge can not find the plugin. here is the log from Homebridge:

    Error loading accessory requested in your config.json at position 6

After I upgraded Homebridge Config UI X to v4.24.0 (latest version) I got this error:

so I installed hap-nodejs and now here is the new error:

Alright, the hap-nodejs bug should be fixed with version 1.0.6. Thank you for reporting this bug! Could please have a look at that new version?

[haen7]

Version 1.0.6 fixed The hap-nodejs error but I still get Cannot add a Characteristic error.

[lucavb]

Alright. Seems like they changed the way services work. This new version seems to work for me, can you give it a try?

[haen7]

Great, It works perfectly with hc-sr505 PIR sensor.

Thanks!

[lucavb]

Glad I could help :)
