[tonylee0000]

I have a question when I installed the home bridge- bus on to raspberry pi it seemed every ok but when I run home bridge display cannot load that plugin I don't know why. I use raspberry pi 3 and 5500cn to connect to cbus. Are there something wrong with it

I installed homebridge and then installed homebridge-cbus onto raspberry pi3 when I run homebridge those message were displayed

[simonhac]

we've seen this several times before -- each time it's been due to an older (non ES6 compliant) version of nodejs attempting to run homebridge-cbus.

see #26.

@anthonywebb and @DarylMc -- we should add a section that describes how to fix this in the README. (i would, but i don't know enough about the cause and resolution to explain it adequately. either of you?)

[DarylMc]

I spent some time with tony I'm pretty sure it is resolved Who knew siri could speak chinese? With english config.json? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3OIp-PEBvY

@DarylMc that is really cool, thanks for the help!

@anthonywebb @simonhac I think tony was using my old image, old instructions and had other problems in general.

In case anyone missed it there is some compatibility problems with recent CGate and Toolkit versions. I'm currently using latest CGate 2.11.1 on pi for compatibility with Toolkit 1.15.1
I've used quite a few CGate versions recently and all seemed to worked well with the correct toolkit version.
