What could be the cause of this?
I've tried to install using a different version of NodeJS, reinstalling gyp, clearing npm cache and more

I too am debugging this issue. It looks like the creator doesn't frequent this page any more.

I have noticed this issue appears more for me when using the later versions on Node.js and homebridge on the same machine.

Changing my node version seems to brick my other programs too.

Any updates on this? I'm trying to build with the latest nodejs LTS release.

I am currently migrating to mqttthing/homebridge beacuse homekit2mqtt is not maintained any more. mqttthing has the same functionality and frequent updates.

Yeah, this project hasn't been looking promising for nearly 2 years now, sadly. Thanks for the pointer to an alternative! Guess I have some dev work to do in order to migrate.
