Plugin gets not registered

[sholzmayer]

Hi,

I just installed, but I get the following error while starting it:

==> /var/log/homebridge.err <==
/opt/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge/lib/api.js:106
      throw new Error("The requested platform '" + name + "' was not registered by any plugin.");
      ^

Error: The requested platform 'CameraMotion' was not registered by any plugin.
    at API.platform (/opt/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge/lib/api.js:106:13)

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:300:12)
    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:441:10)

My first thought was that it is not installed correctly, but it seems to because it is in the node_modules directory.

The platform-entry in the config.json is:

{
        "platform": "CameraMotion",
        "name": "Camera",
        "name_motion": "Motion Sensor",
        "motion_pipe": "/tmp/motion-pipe",
        "motion_timeout": 2000,
        "snapshot_path": "/tmp/lastsnap.jpg"
     }

Do you have an idea?

I also get this error before:

@sholzmayer What version of Node.js are you using (check with node -v), if not the latest can you try upgrading to Node v6+ or later?

Thank you, this solved the problem 👍
Now I can use the camera in homekit!
