homebridge-hue 0.5.6

v0.5.6

on Node.js NPM

Update dependencies:

• node v6.11.0 (or higher v6.x) or v7.10.0 (or higher v7.x) on install - node v8 is incompatible with homebridge-hue (issue #125);
• Bump to homebridge v0.4.21, which no longer creates the (hidden) BridgingState service and hopefully allows more accessories before the iCloud sync fails (issue #129).

Note: you need to upgrade to homebridge v0.4.21 (npm -g install homebridge --unsafe-perm) before upgrading to homebridge-hue v0.5.6. If not, you'll see the following errors when starting homebridge:
