this issue is already reported here: https://github.com/KraigM/homebridge-wink/issues/37

[KenHaass]

Flochtililoch, Thanks for the response. I see that the issue was addressed in #37, but i am not sure what the actual resolutions was. Install version 5?

[flochtililoch]

yes, reverting to a node version < 6 seems to solve the issue. You could also simply comment out these lines on your install, these are not used anyway in homebridge-wink plugin and are indirectly causing the issue.

[rgrasmus]

Is there a good way to do this in a docker container?

[dasoutherland]

@flochtililoch I commented out lines 134-137. Ran the following code. Im running node -v 6.9.1 pm2 stop homebridge -- -D pm2 start homebridge -- -D root@HKJail:/ # pm2 start homebridge -- -D [PM2] Applying action restartProcessId on app [homebridge](ids: 0) [PM2] [homebridge](0) ✓ [PM2] Process successfully started ┌────────────┬────┬──────┬───────┬────────┬─────────┬────────┬─────┬───────────┬──────────┐ │ App name │ id │ mode │ pid │ status │ restart │ uptime │ cpu │ mem │ watching │ ├────────────┼────┼──────┼───────┼────────┼─────────┼────────┼─────┼───────────┼──────────┤ │ homebridge │ 0 │ fork │ 58025 │ online │ 30 │ 0s │ 0% │ 24.2 MB │ disabled │ └────────────┴────┴──────┴───────┴────────┴─────────┴────────┴─────┴───────────┴──────────┘ Use pm2 show <id|name>to get more details about an app root@HKJail:/ #

Then I ran homebridge

It appears to be dying because it can't find package.json. This worked for me, just "touch package.json" in your ~/.homebridge directory. Definitely a wink plugin issue.

This fixed it for me. Thanks!

@flochtililoch I commented out those lines in the wink-js/index.js file but I'm still getting the same error:

Is there something I'm missing?

Thank you!
