TimeoutOverflowWarning with Node 9.10.0

[mensa84]

I have the same problem. Is there any solution?

[Bluebie]

I have no idea, I'm using node 11.6 in my home. Is there a compelling reason why this software needs to support such outdated versions of node js?

[mensa84]

I tried with 10 and 11 and that error is appearing on both.

[Bluebie]

I recently setup a test installation to see if i could reproduce this, aside from my regular home setup, and i'm not seeing it. Can you provide more information about your setups?

[mensa84]

It's a fresh install on debian 9.
Only homebridge + requirements + node are installed.

[mensa84]

It seems as if this error is only appearing if the homebridge directories "accessories" and "persist" are EMPTY at startup of homebridge with a newer NodeJS version.
I can't say which file or entry makes that problem. Maybe that helps you to find?

[mensa84]

Is it required, that additionally miio is installed?
https://www.npmjs.com/package/miio

[Bluebie]

It's absolutely required - it's an npm dependancy, so if you installed homebridge-miio via npm, it will have installed miio along with it.

[mensa84]

I installed now by that command: npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-miio
How can I check if miio is really installed?

This is still a major issue -- totally kills my raspberry pi's logs. Avoid this and all packages dependent on it.

i have the same problem but that wasn't the case with pi3. now I'm on a pi4 with
node -v
v12.16.1

and npm -v
