Cannot find module '../build/Release/dns_sd_bindings'

See original GitHub issue

I just installed a clean and fresh installation of Raspbian Jessie Lite on my Raspberry Pi 3, and the very first thing I did was to install Homebride right after that. I followed every step of the installation guide, but can’t succeed in getting homebridge to run.

npm -v = 4.2.0
node -v = 7.10.0

Might be possibly related to #1314.

I fixed it, I found the solution in the answer to #905 (slightly edited):

cd /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/
sudo npm install --unsafe-perm mdns
sudo npm rebuild --unsafe-perm

Wowwww!! Til this step it works. I deleted the ‘WeMo’ what ever that accessory may be, out of the config.json file. After starting all over again with .homebridge, because my Home app said nest thermost. was already added, but it was not visible for me in the Home app it is now going to work. solution: I made a new file .homebridge in ~home/pi and renewed the homekit app (deleting .homebridge, making new OAuth on the NEST devel. page, and changing the config.json, restart iphone, resetting Nest, adding Nest to Nest app). Now I was able to find the thermostat in my Home app. (HomeKit).

But there are still some questions:

The Home app finds that Homebridge is not certified and will probably not work ok with HomeKit. Is this a problem I can or have to solve?
