Problem reading Config.json

[crosspjc]

I had homebridge running successfully with nest and Sonos. I then added homebridge-amazondash. When running with elevated privileges I receive the "There was a problem reading your config.json file.
Please try pasting your config.json file here to validate it: http://jsonlint.com." Error.

My config.json file is as follows and I have restyled all the quote marks in case there were any format issues.

config.json

{"bridge": {
"name": "HomeBridge",
"username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
"port": 51826,
"pin": "031-45-154"
},

"accessories": [ {
"accessory": "Sonos",
"name": "Living Room Speakers",
"room": "Living Room"
},
{
"accessory": "Sonos",
"name": "Kitchen Speakers",
"room": "Kitchen"
},
{
"accessory": "Sonos",
"name": " Bedroom Speakers",
"room": "Master Bedroom"
}
],

"platforms": [
{

"platform": "Nest",
"token" :
"Xxxxxxx",
"clientId": "xxxxx",
"clientSecret": "xxxx",
"code": "Xxxxxx",

"username" : "Xxxx",
"password" : "xxxxx"
},
{

"platform": "AmazonDash",
"buttons": [
{
"name": "Dash Blue",
"mac": "02:0f:b5:ab:73:c7"
}
]}

]
}

I have used json lint that reports no errors.

Any ideas as this is driving me nuts?!?!!?

Hi,

I have the same issue that Crosspjc, but I think it's not a script error !
To use a Dash Button, Homebridge has to always listening your network, and you need to be SuperUser.

If you write $raspberry@pi : homebridge
System will execute Homebridge with config.json file in /.homebridge/

But if you write : $raspberry@pi : sudo homebridge (to listening the network as asked by homebridge)
System will execute Homebridge with the config.json file in /root/.homebridge/

The problem is when I open /root/.homebridge/config.json, it's empty, and if I try to write something in, I can't save it !
I think Homebridge can't read config.json file in /root, so we have a message that there is a mistake in this file.

I'm unsure of this, but it could be an explaination !
So if you have a solution to write in /root, and to have authorization to read in, I'll could try ! :)

thank you !!
