Error: Could not locate the bindings file.

[varna33]

Hello,

After the April Raspbian and homebridge-gpio-device releases I can't anymore install the system. It was perfectly working month ago, but now even after 20 new fresh installations I can't get it working.

I always have these errors. How to fix the problem? I really need your help, as all my projects are now blocked and I can't get any automation anymore working with this wonderful plug-in.

Hi,

Kept playing around and found solution. The base for installation should be Raspbian Lite. Then it works.

If installation is based on Full or version with Desktop, then above error appears.

I was able to install after I did this:

Install wiringpi:

sudo apt-get purge wiringpi hash -r sudo apt-get install git-core git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi cd ~/wiringPi ./build

Uninstall wiringpi:

cd ~/wiringPi ./build uninstall

install wiringpi-2.46-1:

cd /tmp wget https://unicorn.drogon.net/wiringpi-2.46-1.deb sudo dpkg -i wiringpi-2.46-1.deb

install homebridge-gpio-device: sudo npm install -g homebridge-gpio-device --unsafe-perm

[a-x-]

git.drogon.net is not available any more

wiringpi's author said goodbye

[a-x-]

I tried

wget https://unicorn.drogon.net/wiringpi-2.46-1.deb
sudo dpkg -i wiringpi-2.46-1.deb

it didn't help

[a-x-]

I have raspbian lite installation

I have the same issue. Any help appreciated

Already have 2.46

pi@raspberrypi-attic:~ $ gpio -v gpio version: 2.46

But I still get this error when starting homebridge:
