Zigbee2mqtt broken after HA and Hassbian upgrade

Configuration Zigbee

Hello, yesterday I upgraded my HA from 0.94.5 to 0.97 and my hassbian (on an rpi 3 b+) to latest versions.
I have also had to update raspbian to latest version (from stretch to buster).
After this upgrades all works but zigbee2mqtt.
I had version 1.0.1 of the addon, installed through hassbian-scripts, and everything worked well.
After raspian upgrade I have been starting to see some errors about node.js and the addon refuses to start.
Please see below for node.js log (zigbee2mqtt does log nothing cause it cannot actually start)

The problem is the node.js version installed compared to the version the addon supports.

Do you something similar?
How can we solve?

Thanks

Thanks

UP
Anyone else has experienced these problems…???

This seems to be the problem

Latest version of zigbee2mqtt is 1.5.1 so you should update addon or downgrade nodejs

5

Yes, I thought this too…
I installed z2m via hassbian script so I don’t know if I can follow the official installation instructions or not…
I think I could uninstalla the addon and then follow them…but I’d not actually want mess all the things up.

If you’re using Hassbian, it’s not an add-on :wink:

That said, you can absolutely just uninstall it and follow the manual install guide. I’d also advise you to open an issue so the developer of the Hassbian scripts can ensure the right version of NodeJS is used.

Yes I meant script, not addon… :slight_smile:
Can I also uninstall the updated node version w/o risks at all?
On my hassbian I have only ha and some…scripts and custom components
Thanks

It can’t break Home Assistant. Whether it breaks any of your other software you’re running I can’t even guess. If you’re not using anything else that uses NodeJS then you should be fine.

I’m using some custom components (for example one for ceiling fun) that I’m sure make using of nodejs…It worked with the old ha and hassbian version and it’s working even now…
