Multiple errors during install

[mwunderlich]

Hi,

I am trying to install the heimcontrol application, but I keep getting large number of errors. My environment is:

pi@raspberrypi:/heimcontrol.js $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.1.18-v7+ #846 SMP Thu Feb 25 14:22:53 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
pi@raspberrypi:/heimcontrol.js $ npm -v
1.2.15

I first had to remove the PiSwitch dependency (although I will need it for my project at a later stage). I also had to manually install require.js and express.

But even then I am getting the errors below when running "npm install" in the heimcontrol.js directory. Any ideas how to fix these? Thanks a lot.

Cheers,

Martin

PS: I was following this here installation instruction: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-build-home-automation-system-raspberry-pi-and-arduino/

On first look it seems like all those errors are from dependencies, and you’re using a pretty old version of node. It’s possible that those issues are solved for more recent versions.

However, it’s also possible that the errors persist. Heimcontrol hasn’t seen much work in well over a year and the age is showing – the dependencies should be looked over, some code should be updated for the Raspberry Pi 2, not to mention the new 3 (I don’t have either, by the way).

I’m not currently using Heimcontrol myself, nor is owner @ni-c, afaik. But I think it should still be possible to install it, since the issues here indicate that others are still using it successfully (more or less).

---

Frankly, depending on what you’re intending to do with this, it might be more suitable to hack up something yourself that’s tailored to your needs. You want to control your RF power outlets, right? You can try PiSwitch by itself and maybe add a web interface – it’s Node after all.

Note that PiSwitch is in a similar state in terms of maintenance (it’s mine, but I don’t use it currently). But if you have any questions about the sockets’ protocol, feel free to ask. It’s pretty simple – PiSwitch is only a hundred lines or so of JS.

Hi Tom,

Thanks a lot for the reply. You are right, my node installation was pretty ancient. I have now update to node version 5.6.0. The installer is still failing with a lot of errors (see below).

What would be some good alternatives to heimcontrol? What I'd like to do is build a system for controlling electrical radiators based on digital thermometers (DS18S20, several per room). I could hack something together myself, but I'd prefer some kind of home automation platform, because the thing might grow into something larger.

Cheers,

Martin

I’ve heard of OpenHab (Java), Domoticz (C), and FHEM (Perl), which aim to give you a complete home automation solution. FHEM has a large German userbase. I haven’t used any of them, but have heard mostly good things about all three.

Here’s a German blog article about OpenHab/FHEM/DIY which might help. (Coincidentally the author’s arguments in favor of a DIY solution are why I myself chose that route.)

[mwunderlich]

Thanks a lot, Tom, for the hint. I have managed to install OpenHab and it looks extremely comprehensive, as far as the integration possibilities are concerned. Now I only need to connect my temp sensors to it.

Cheers,

Martin
