I have since several hours the same problem.

[theo-69]

strange behaving

[denzel1994]

Same here. Also the Homebridge Update-Checker is constantly spinning.

[theo-69]

okay, so general problem maybe the npm server

[oznu]

Thanks for reporting this. It looks the the api service the plugin was using was down. I have swapped this to use registry.npmjs.org which is what the npm cli tool uses.

Update to 2.6.1 and this should be resolved.
