heartbeat warning

[1rado1]

Hi,
I am getting [Rpi] warning: heartbeat 1, drift 365 and also some node related errors:
TypeError: events.once is not a function
As for now, node.js v. 12.x is not possible for me, since other Homebridge plugins are not compatible, I am forced to use stable version of 8.x - are you about to optimize for older versions?

I don't think NodeJS v8 supports events.once(), so homebridge-rpi will not work with that version.

I develop and test my plugins against the latest LTS version of NodeJS, currently v12.14.1. I will not spend any time on testing against or porting to other versions.

The heartbeat warning indicates that the heartbeat didn't occur at the time it was scheduled. If this happens structurally, it might indicate a rogue plugin blocking the NodeJS process, or that you're running on a machine that cannot handle the load. If you only see a couple of these messages shortly after starting homebridge, there's nothing to worry about.

You are right, it doesn't support it.

I totally understand, I have tried to install 12.14.1 and get it work with other plugins, but I am reverting back, as it is not possible at the moment. So I need to look for another plugin to control GPIO which works with 8.x

Thank you for all the info, I appreciate it
