Any idea?

[umesan]

When does the error occur at what timing?

[Mx-Razvan]

At the homebridge startup. It doesn't run at all

I'm using JSON Node v8.0.0 right now and I only have problems with this project. In fact, using the Roomba890 project yields no errors, but it is older code. I will be using that for the time being. Let me know how I can help troubleshoot!

[amitgandhinz]

I'm getting the same error as above. Im running on a RPi. I'll see how i go with the Roomba980 project.

[amitgandhinz]

looking at other home bridge plugins, i believe you need to add the following to the package.json file:

"engines": {
    "node": ">=0.12.0",
    "homebridge": ">=0.2.0"
  }

[jchristman]

Any chance you could push this change to the npm repository? I'm getting this error also. Thanks!

[iRonin]

Could we have this one in?

[umesan]

Thank you.

• Merged https://github.com/umesan/homebridge-roomba/pull/9 pull request.
