Companion App Won't Start

Is it me or are others still having issues getting the Companion App to Start? I'm almost complete with my App, but this is kind of the last piece of the puzzle that needs to work for me to continue. 

 

If it isn't just me when can we except to have this functionality working? (I'm contemplating shelving the App and going back to it in the future)

 

Thanks,

-Don

Have you set your wakeInterval? https://dev.fitbit.com/guides/companion/#periodic-wake-interval

I have mine set to the shortest possible time (300000 milliseconds) and that has helped.

Is "Run in background" checked in your package.json?

 

Can you never get it to start or is it a sporadic thing?

Where should this property value be set please? In the Companion's index.js or somewhere else?
I've added the following but it doesn't seem to be waking the companion.

import { me } from "companion"
// Wake the Companion after 30 minutes
me.wakeInterval = 5 * 1000 * 60
