this might be due to running node-v6.9.5-linux as im on a Pi Zero and can't install node 7

I'm getting this TypeError when running on both my Raspberry Pi and Mac:

pi@jj-raspberrypi:~ $ /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-roku/bin/./homebridge-roku-config

Any ideas?

Can you try updating your homebridge-roku installation? The latest version doesn't call app.get

I upgraded homebridge-roku to the latest and upgrade nodejs from 6.12.2 to 7.10.1 on my Pi3. This is the new result:

pi@jj-raspberrypi:~ $ /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-roku/bin/./setup
/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-roku/node_modules/roku-client/dist/client.js:31
const parseStringAsync = (0, _util.promisify)(_xml2js.parseString);
^

Ah, that method is only available since node 8. I can use es6-promisify instead which will allow it to run on node6 and up. I'm planning on supporting node6 and later with homebridge-roku, so your node version should be fine once I fix this.

Published version 1.0.2, try updating and running again.

bschlenk, that works very well now. I have it controlling my TCL Roku TV now, and I may add the Roku 2 to the configuration at a later date.

One think that you might consider in a major update is the setup for 2 Roku's on the same network. For example, when I ran setup, it always found the Roku 2 first, since it has the lower IP address. Until I unplugged the Roku 2 from the network, I could not do the search for the TCL Roku TV. This is a minor problem at this time that has an easy work around, since the setup needs to be done only initially or when adding apps to control.

[bschlenk]

Thanks for the suggestion! The library I use to discover Roku devices does support finding multiple Rokus on the same network. I'll have to look into how that would work. Ideally that would be after I figure out how to get the Roku to show up as a single device, instead of a device per feature.

Could you open that as a separate issue so I can track it separately? Closing this one.
