Hi there,

I recently pulled oznu's latest homebridge image for raspberry pi, but for some reason, it dumped all of my plugins. I re-installed the liftmaster2 plugin, and now my homebridge server seems to be stuck in a boot loop. Here's what my log file shows when I restart my homebridge server:

Update: I tried uninstalling the plugin and clearing my config.json files. The homebridge server now starts normally, and everything else seems fine. As soon as I re-install Liftmaster2 and re-add my config.json details, I end up with the same error messages at startup.

I'm not sure how I did it, but after removing and installing the plugin a number of times, I just re-installed the plug-in, and all appears to be well again.

I am having this same error. I've removed and reinstalled the plug-in multiple times without success. The only change is the information in the log. Usually it doesn't have the details. See example 1. However occasionally it has the same exact details as posted by @dawger1 . See example 2.

Any help is appreciated.

==============================
Example 1 - occurs most often but contains no details except for same file and line number.

raspberrypi homebridge[25073]: var json = JSON.parse(body);
raspberrypi systemd[1]: homebridge.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
raspberrypi systemd[1]: homebridge.service: Unit entered failed state.
raspberrypi systemd[1]: homebridge.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

==============================
Example 2 - rare example has detail

raspberrypi homebridge[22358]: var json = JSON.parse(body);

Alright finally figured it out. The only version of this package that is published is 0.1.0, which has the json error mentioned above. So by default, adding this plugin through homebridge will pull from npm and install the broken version.

To fix this, go to your package.json, and run:
npm install -save git+https://github.com/luisiam/homebridge-liftmaster2.git

This will install the correct version of this package.

@zjensen thanks! That worked. My status issues are resolved. The Garage Door is now showing in HomeKit. No need to me to purchase the Chamberlain HomeKit bridge for now. Works from Home and and via Siri.

I would just like to report that zjensen's solution worked for me as well. All I did was uninstall and then reinstall using his command:
npm install -save git+https://github.com/luisiam/homebridge-liftmaster2.git

try and fix permissions first

sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share}

Then install using this command:

sudo npm install -g git+https://github.com/luisiam/homebridge-liftmaster2.git

Worked for for 2 months then stopped today. Maybe Liftmaster/Chamberlain changed something?

Like amitgir, I had this working and it stopped working today (30 May 2019). I get the exact same error messages as above.

Does anybody still have this working?

Mine seems to be working fine.

I reinstalled the package using "npm install -g git+https://github.com/luisiam/homebridge-liftmaster2.git" rather than via the Config UI plugin and now all works. For some reason the npm command is pulling an outdated version like someone had mentioned above.
