buffer.js: Error "value" argument must not be a number

[Demonderik]

Hi snowdd1,

After updating homebridge to version v0.4.1, I have broken homebridge-knx.
It always throws error ""value" argument must not be a number" in buffer.js - parser call of the eibd module during (any?) attempt to read the telegram from knx. (knxd runs on another docker image).

Do you have any idea how to solve it?

homebridge v0.4.17
homebridge-knx v0.3.10
node v6.10.0

Hi @Demonderik ,
yes, I prepared a faulty pull request for the eibd package, which does not work with node 6.4 and above as far as I learned. I already prepared a corrected PR, and hope that André, the maintainer of eibd package, will accept the PR soon.

For the time being, you can install eibd version 0.3.7 whicha hadn't had the error.

Hi Raoul,
thank you for quick response!

I tried to install eibd@0.3.7
and (or) node@6.3.0
NO success. The same error at the same place.

my install.sh:
#!/bin/bash
node -v
npm cache clean -f
npm install -g n
n 6.3.0
#n 6.10.0
node -v

npm install -g homebridge-knx
npm install -g homebridge-harmonyhub
npm install -g homebridge-denon
npm install -g homebridge-marantz-volume
npm install -g eibd@0.3.7

[snowdd1]

there is a new version 0.3.9 that should be fixed for use with node > 6.2

[Demonderik]

Hooray! Hooray! #49 is fixed my problem! With eibd@03.9 everything works now!

Raoul, Andree, thanks for quick fix!
Great job!
