Installation error on Raspberry PI 3

Sébastien Pineau

Hi,

I receive an error when installing triggercmd. Something related to node_modules.
I tried several hints provided, removed, put back, changed npm, still operation not allowed.

root@raspberrypi:~# dpkg -i triggercmdagent_1.0.1_all.deb
(Lecture de la base de données... 146201 fichiers et répertoires déjà installés.)

Sorry for the french installation, hope this is not the problem.
The system has a lot of running modules used to control home automation, so i cannot go from scratch.

@Sébastien-Pineau , can you show me which version of node js you have installed?

node -v

I know it's not compatible with some versions of nodejs 15.

Sébastien Pineau

Hi Russ,
Thank you for your fast reply.
Actually, it now work fine, I tried several of your proposals and other about nvm, but I'm unfortunately unable to say which one finally solved the issue. I made further testing with commands from my ok google to control my house appliances and cheap 443Mhz plugs and it look great. Thank you.

Sébastien Pineau

And node -v gave me v16.5.0

Russ

@Sébastien-Pineau, awesome. I'm glad you got it working. Can you tell me which 443mhz plugs you're using and how you're switching them with the Raspberry Pi? I might want to do the same.

Sébastien Pineau

They are Phoenix 433 Plug, chinese cheap, the one sold with a remote control ABCD. They are quite old now, can't find them online. You can scan the code send by the remote and repeat it with a 433MHz receiver/emitter or use this piece of code I found some time ago:

import time
import sys
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
from DHT11_06_DC import read_temp
a_on =  '1111111111111010101011101'
a_off = '1111111111111010101010111'
b_on =  '1111111111101110101011101'
b_off = '1111111111101110101010111'
c_on =  '1111111111101011101011101'
c_off = '1111111111101011101010111'
d_on =  '1111111111101010111011101'
d_off = '1111111111101010111010111'
r_on =  '1010101010111'
r_off = '1010101011101'
short_delay =    0.00045
long_delay =     0.00090
extended_delay = 0.0096
NUM_ATTEMPTS = 10
TRANSMIT_PIN = 16
def transmit_code(code):
	'''Transmit a chosen code string using the GPIO transmitter'''
	GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
	GPIO.setup(TRANSMIT_PIN, GPIO.OUT)
	for t in range(NUM_ATTEMPTS):
		for i in code:
			if i == '1':
				GPIO.output(TRANSMIT_PIN, 1)
				time.sleep(short_delay)
				GPIO.output(TRANSMIT_PIN, 0)
				time.sleep(long_delay)
			elif i == '0':
				GPIO.output(TRANSMIT_PIN, 1)
				time.sleep(long_delay)
				GPIO.output(TRANSMIT_PIN, 0)
				time.sleep(short_delay)
			else:
				continue
		GPIO.output(TRANSMIT_PIN, 0)
		time.sleep(extended_delay)
	GPIO.cleanup()
def main():
	while True:
		
		tmp=50#read_temp(50)
		print(tmp,end='')
		if tmp>=40:
			exec('transmit_code(r_on)')
			print (' on',end='')
		time.sleep(5)
		if tmp> 41:   
			exec('transmit_code(r_off)')
			print (' off',end='')
		print (':')
		time.sleep(5)

	main()

Very cool. Thanks @Sébastien-Pineau. I'll let you know if I get this working.
