onion cloud force crashes node.js & gpio_helper

Hi Everyone,

I am attempting to run a node.js script that uses gpio_helper. I am using the following code (it also uses pushbullet).

//on Garage state change send notification
helper.onPinChange(6, function(value) {
	
	if (startingvar != 0){
		if(value == 1) {
			
			console.log("The garage is open - " + value + " as of " + getDateNow());

			pusher.note(null, "GarageFi", "The garage was opened.", function(error, response) {
			  //process.exit();      // kill the script once push is sent
			});
			
		} else if(value == 0){
			
			console.log("The garage is closed - " + value + " as of " + getDateNow());

			pusher.note(null, "GarageFi", "The garage was closed.", function(error, response) {
			  //process.exit();      // kill the script once push is sent
			});
			
		}
	}
	
});

Now the problem comes when I poll this same GPIO pin via the Onion Cloud API. If I poll the same GPIO pin it either hangs (using the web UI), or it crashes as follows:

fs.js:603
  var r = binding.read(fd, buffer, offset, length, position);
                  ^

Error: ENODEV: no such device, read
    at Error (native)
    at Object.fs.readSync (fs.js:603:19)
    at Object.fs.readFileSync (fs.js:433:24)
    at GPIOHelper.getPinSync (/root/gpiohelper.js:77:15)
    at GPIOHelper._poll (/root/gpiohelper.js:110:20)
    at null._repeat (/root/gpiohelper.js:100:8)
    at wrapper [as _onTimeout] (timers.js:275:11)
    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:92:15)

Is it not possible to watch for the GPIO state with the JS code and at the same time have the API read the state as well?

Same for me with a different node.js.

Glad I am not the only one. I am surprised it isnt a more common issue, and that there isn't a resolution yet!
