Hi, This file is included in the package. You need to copy it from the install directory as the installation instructions state. Take care, John Talbot

thanks for your quick response!

Okay in short my solution is just not run Homebridge as a service then State.js directory is as installation instructions state.

in detail when i run Homebridge as a Service on windows the plugin is looking for State.js in
'C:\Program Files\nodejs.homebridge\Cmd4Scripts\State.js'
And it wants to create the Cmd4States folder in 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile.homebridge\Cmd4Scripts\Cmd4States'
(according to error messages)

I then tried to put the State.js as well as created the Cmd4States folder at the given locations.
But even after adjusting folder permissions the state_cmd still failed.

Is it possible to run Homebridge as a service on windows with this plugin by changing the expected home directory?

Hi, Sorry I have not worked with Windows in years and cannot help you in that respect. I created Cmd4 as a plug-in to HomeBridGe which reads the config.json file from $HOME/.homebridge, so the State.js file would be put in the directory Structure beyond that. Why windows would think it is trying to access system32 is beyond me. I can suggest that you make sure Homebridge is first installed and started from their recommended directories. After that Homebridge should run the CMD4 plugin just like any other. The State.js file is the script that creates the Cmd4States directory to hold files containing device state information. This is just temporary data. If you edit the script you may be able to change the location to something more accessible like maybe /temp. Hopefully this helps, John Talbot
