installation homebridge-magic-blue-bulb raspberry

[ragnar-homekit]

hello you can kindly help to install the plugin of raspberry?

[lucavb]

could you elaborate more on what is unclear about the README I provided?

[ragnar-homekit]

how do I install the plugin since it is not registered on npm? in Readme it is not explained how to install it.

you can know the procedure to follow to install the plugin?

[lucavb]

I have updated the README with a reference to my other project regarding the installation of plugins outside of npm.

[ragnar-homekit]

Also by running the following command, does not recognize the plugin, how do I fix?

[lucavb]

What command are you talking about?

run npm i inside the folder where you downloaded the plugin. you are missing the noble dependency.

[ragnar-homekit]

in Homebridge folder or where I put magic-blue-bulb?

[lucavb]

well the directory where you cloned this repository to. if you followed this guide this is most likely going to be /var/homebridge/other_plugins/homebridge-magic-blue-bulb/

[ragnar-homekit]

npm I gave no results, I managed manually installing noble, it is now recognized the plugin. I wanted to ask if you first have to associate the light bulb to the raspberry and then use it with Homebridge, or happens all automatically?

[lucavb]

there is no pairing process. it should work with just the Mac address and considering that the bulb is not already connected to any other device

[ragnar-homekit]

I've done everything correctly, only that the bulb does not respond you command

[lucavb]

Consider the original post, that discovered the codes for the bulbs. Read through it, especially the part where he uses gatttool to test his codes. Make sure those work for you. There is the possibility that you are having a different version that utilises a different handle.
