How can I fix error loading Nest plugin on Homebridge? - homekit

Question

I'm attempting to configure Homebridge to work with Nest on my Mac and keep getting an error.
Plugin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-nest requires Node version of >=7.0.0 which does not satisfy the current Node version of v6.10.2. You may need to upgrade your installation of Node.

I've tried:
Deleting accessories
Redownloading with -g
Any idea what could be happening here? I've searched for a few hours now and haven't had any luck.

Answer 1

The JSON is not working because the plugin is not loaded... the error shows you that the error occurs in a Unexpected token function ("function") in the code... even tells you the file name, line number and position on the line ("vm.js:56:10").
I suppose this error has been fixed already - but if not please contact the author(s) with an issue request at (https://github.com/chrisjshull/homebridge-nest/issues).
