Love the distro. Fast, everything working out of the box.
But recently decided to install room-assistant (it is node.js a bluetooth LE tracker) so the BT capability of RPi3 i’m running it on top os not wasted.
But ran into problems. I have enabled the blietooth e.t.c. The room assistant connects but that’s it.
Is the bluez modified in the osmc distro in some way or another? Is there a way to install vanilla - plain version?
BlueZ has been modified to support the internal adapter.
If you install the ‘plain’ Debian version, the adapter will not work.
I don’t know if BT LE is working on the internal adapter.
it’s working. At least lescan shows up correctly.
I have installed room-assistance on the latest raspbian without a hitch. So wonder where is the proble on osmc side…
Main problem when installing room assistant get the following
npm ERR! node-hid@0.5.4 install: `node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build`
npm ERR! Exit status 1

Probably different versions of Node
Grab Node from their website, not apt-get.
That’s exactly what i did
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
- Contact the maintainer
- Make sure you have npm installed
There’s not much we can really do to address this.
Well i did contact the maintainer. Hr promised to check OSMC in VM.
NPM is installed (otherwise npm install wouldn’t run - right?)
And as this package gets installed without a hitch on raspbian and debian 8 - it means that some customiztion in osmc is bringing up some mistake
No it does not.
We do not package Node, so there are no OSMC customisations.
More than likely, you are using completely different versions of Node on OSMC and Raspbian, particularly as Raspbian is armv6l and Node does not officially package for this architecture. Check your versions, they will almost certainly be different.
Not that much of a linux guru but
Raspbian
ii nodejs 6.9.5-1nodesource1~jessie1 armhf Node.js event-based server-side javascript engine
OSMC
ii nodejs 6.9.5-1nodesource1~jessie armhf Node.js event-based server-side javascript engine
Can’t see much of a difference
Did you check /roomass/room-assistant/npm-debug.log for clues?
I think the error has given you enough clues to explore the problem.
Thank you for helping out. Just tried a clean reinstall. And then
#sudo su
#curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
#apt-get install -y nodejs
#apt-get install git bluetooth bluez libbluetooth-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev build-essential
#cd /
#mkdir room
#cd room
#git clone https://github.com/mKeRix/room-assistant.git
#cd room-assistant
#npm install
This is the end of the log
