SyntaxError: Block-scoped ... strict mode. about homebridge-wol HOT 5 CLOSED

It seems to be a problem with the use of ES6 features that should be supported by the version of Node you’re using. Are you able to update the Node version? If so, please try to update and try to run homebridge again.

Are you able to update the Node version?

I went to update it before I posted the question, but just went to check and saw that it didn't actually update - got it to v8.11.1 now. I had to completely remove node and everything that was related to it, reboot, and then do a clean install.

That took care of that issue.
Now all I have to do is get my shutdown command to work 😀 Windows 10 is such a crapshoot when it comes to stuff like this.

Thanks!

Some users have had success with using “net rpc”. There should be a note about it in the readme below the configuration. Although I can’t really recommend it due to the implications it has on some security features. I guess we’ll have to wait for a proper SSH server on Windows (Microsoft have one in beta now) before it gets reliable. Best of luck!

@AlexGustafsson, I've reinstalled Windows 10 and updated my Pi 3 config recently and status pings and shutdown with RPC for Windows 10 is working now. I had to follow this to get it to work, otherwise, it would shoot me a ...OBJECT_NAME... error. I'm assuming because it was an non-user command. This is on the new 1803 preview, so hopefully this will be fixed for everyone shortly.
