Unable to install on Raspberry Pi.

did you do sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev before installing homekit2mqtt?

That solved the issue, but unfortunately, I ran into another issue:

I guess this is a unresolved issue with Bignum on Node 5/6. Could you try if it works with Node 4?

[MichMich]

Unfortunately I can't downgrade Node on that Pi since it's necessary for an other project. I'll just keep running your app on my Mac. If you happen to find a solution, it would be great to hear.

[hobbyquaker]

Perhaps it's worth a try: sudo npm install -g homekit2mqtt --unsafe-perm
Let me know if this works, otherwise I will investigate on this on sunday.

Also you could use https://github.com/tj/n to handle different node versions on the same system.

[MichMich]

Works perfect! App is running on my Raspberry Pi now. Thanks for the fabulous script! Works like a charm!

[hobbyquaker]

Great, good to hear, thanks :-)
If you need some inspiration on what to connect to MQTT my "awesome" link list might be worth a look: https://github.com/hobbyquaker/awesome-mqtt

This is the project I used it for: http://michaelteeuw.nl/tagged/curtains

I'll probably write a blogpost about your library soon, cause you saved me a lot of work. ;)

[hobbyquaker]

Wow, cool project. Automated curtains would fit into my house very good. Have to talk to my wife ;-)
I would be happy if you mention my project in your Blog!

[MichMich]

Will do (in a week or two). I'll send you the link when it's posted.

[MichMich]

As promised I wrote a link about homekit2mqtt: http://michaelteeuw.nl/post/151621813122/homekit-curtains

[hobbyquaker]

cool!!! thx! :-)
