error homebridge-hue@0.5.31: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "6.11.3".

Getting this error with the latest version. any chance for upgrading node?

I updated node a few days ago in #23.

If you pull down the latest version you'll be running Homebridge on Node 8.4.0.

Ok, that module is causing the issue, homebridge-hue is requiring a specific node version.

They have:

  "engines": {
    "node": "6.11.3"
  }

Whereas they should have:

  "engines": {
    "node": ">=6.11.3"
  }

Regardless, I can fix this on my end by telling yarn to ignore engines, which has the added benefit of removing that pesky warning about homebridge not being a valid engine.

I'll push up this change shortly.

Resolved in 53efae0.

homebridge-hue now loads correctly using node 8.4.0.
