Anyone having the same issue?

dasher@1.4.1 start /home/pi/dasher
node app.js

I see this too on a stretch version of hassbian:

pi@hassbian:~/dasher $ sudo npm run start

> dasher@1.4.1 start /home/pi/dasher
> node app.js

module.js:434
  return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));
                 ^

This project is too old.
I found a solution : here is a similar project up to date, very simple to install, fast support and working nice !

(using orange Pi with home assistant)

@lam560 this is great! I'll link to it in the README.

Sorry folks, but I no longer use this project or Dash buttons at all in my setup. I just found their latency and their general way of working to not be a great solution as a smart button.

+1 ! Thanks
