[Fixable] ERROR LOADING PLUGIN homebridge-broadlink-rm: Cannot find module 'hap-nodejs'

[benncarroll]

Hey Luke,

First off just want to say huge thank you from me and everyone who uses your amazing plugin!

I am getting the following error casuing homebridge to crash on launch, after upgrading homebridge-broadlink-rm to v3.6.22

ERROR LOADING PLUGIN homebridge-broadlink-rm
Error: Cannot find module 'hap-nodejs'
Require stack:
 - /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-broadlink-rm/node_modules/homebridge-platform-helper/dist/accessory.js
 - /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-broadlink-rm/node_modules/homebridge-platform-helper/dist/index.js
 - /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-broadlink-rm/platform.js
 - /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-broadlink-rm/index.js

Then further down, as a result of the above:

Error: The requested platform 'BroadlinkRM' was not registered by any plugin
...
Got SIGTERM, shutting down Homebridge...

I believe a dependency 'homebridge-platform-helper' is missing a dependency of 'hap-nodejs'

As below, it can be fixed by manually installing this package.

Thanks again!

People looking for a quick fix!

Run the following command to install hap-nodejs manually and allow the plugin to run.

npm i -g hap-nodejs

Forgot to add my versions & details:

• homebridge 0.4.52
• node v12.16.1
• homebridge-broadlink-rm 3.6.22

Hi, @lprhodes I've got the same issue too, hap-nodejs installation doesn't helped me.

I am in the same boat with asafdavid230

[rfroom]

I have the same issue as benncarroll and asafdavid230 even after installing hap-nodesjs manually

[Supereg]

Hap-nodjes must not be added as a dependency by a homebridge plugin. It must always use the instance passed by the Homebridge API

[fizulnizam]

So how do we solve this? @Supereg

[Supereg]

Homebridge api object has the hap property where everything from hap-nodejs is exposed. This is just something the author must fix in his code.

I'm having the same issue, Homebridge crashes after I include the broadlink config, then I get the following error. Any ideas of a workaround? @lprhodes
