3 years ago Per the error output:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token : in JSON at position 13
it seems that you have invalid JSON. Please try pasting your config.json file here to validate it: http://jsonlint.com
You’ll have to share your config.json in order to diagnose the issue, but you may be able to resolve the issue yourself using the above tool.
Note: If you do share your config, please remove any compromising information (usernames, passwords etc.)
Note 2: There is no “working” config.json in this project, only a snippet in the README that should be combined with an already working homebridge config.
Why is the example config.json invalid?
