Add prebuild node-red-contrib-comfoair

[t0mkdev]

Hi,

I'm a Redmatic newbie, running on CCU3. I'm trying to install node-red-contrib-comfoair and it fails with:

# source /usr/local/addons/redmatic/home/.profile
# cd /usr/local/addons/redmatic/var
# npm install --save --no-package-lock --global-style --save-prefix="~" --production node-red-contrib-comfoair

@serialport/bindings@2.0.8 install /usr/local/addons/redmatic/var/node_modules/node-red-contrib-comfoair/node_modules/@serialport/bindings
prebuild-install --tag-prefix @serialport/bindings@ || node-gyp rebuild

See https://github.com/rdmtc/RedMatic/wiki/Node-Installation#nodes-mit-bin%C3%A4rmodulen
Will include these Nodes in the next release.

Thanks a lot for a quick response. I realized that it’s probably required, but wasn’t sure if you just add “anything people come across”.

Isn’t there some work around worth documenting to save you all that extra work?

[hobbyquaker]

With RedMatic 5.2.5 you should be able to install node-red-contrib-comfoair via the RedMatic Package Manager (https://github.com/rdmtc/RedMatic/wiki/Node-Installation#installation-via-redmatic-package-manager)

[t0mkdev]

Worked great - thanks!
And if I need to upgrade the version? e.g. https://github.com/coolchip/node-red-contrib-comfoair/releases/tag/v0.0.4

[hobbyquaker]

I will always include the current version in RedMatic when building a new release, so 0.0.4 (or higher) will for sure be included in the next RedMatic release.
