Error Initializing Plugin

[hivenet-jakub]

Expected Behavior

Plugin initialized

Current Behavior

Plugin fails to initialize - see log below. I installed it the following way:

1. sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez libbluetooth-dev libudev-dev
2. Did this just in case: sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f which node)
3. Installed the plugin using the Homebridge UI. Plugin installs.
4. I restart Homebridge
5. Initialization Error occurs
6. I try to install npm install bluetooth-hci-socket --unsafe-perm but I'm getting a long error log

Versions

• homebridge: 1.8.5
• homebridge-mi-hygrothermograph: /opt/homebridge/lib └── (empty)
• node: 20.18.0
• OS: Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) + Pi Zero W (armv6)

I'm not very 'fluent' in all of this. Maybe it's something simple to fix? Any help would be super appreciated!

hi @hivenet-jakub I'm having the same issue. Did you manage to resolve it? What method did you use to install the homebridge-mi-hygrothermograph plugin?

[hivenet-jakub]

I installed the plugin through the UI.
I have smiliar issues with https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-mijia-thermometer. For that plugin I was able to get rid of the bluetooth_hci_socket.node related error but then I got Error: Cannot find module 'mkdirp'. I'm wondering if both plugins are even properly installed.

[potipot]

Thank you for your reply.
Are you running Raspian in its vanilla state or did you select the homebridge specific os settings when flashing the sd card for your raspberry pi zero?

I flashed my zero2 using the home bridge version of raspbian so it has some preconfigured stuff. For example I realized there is homebridge specific npm and nodejs installation in

/opt/homebridge/bin/npm
/opt/homebridge/bin/node

which is not in $PATH by default.

What npm installation are you using to run the

npm install bluetooth-hci-socket --unsafe-perm

[potipot]

If anyone is still having issues, mine was solved by installing older homebridge raspbian image :https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/releases/tag/v1.1.6

This from my experience has better compatibility with some plugins, like mi-hygrothermograph.

Package	Version
NodeJS	v18.19.0
Homebridge-Config-UI-X	4.55.1
Homebridge	1.7.0

Installing this plugin via homebridge-UI still shows some bluetooth errors but I simply ignored them and everything works flawlessly.

Same problem here:

pi@raspberrypi:~$ node -v
v22.12.0
pi@raspberrypi:~$ npm -v
11.0.0
