Sudo hb-service update-node 18.16.0 Windows 10 macOS and Linuxįor Linux and macOS users, we have created a tool to help you update Node.js in a safe way using hb-service (even if you aren't using hb-service to manage the process): If you have followed one of the Homebridge Install Guides, you can refer back to the guide for your platform to see how to update Node.js. If you are running Node.js v18.x there is no urgent need to update, as we will still be supporting this version until April 2025, however, you can still do so if you like.If you are running Node.js v12.x, v14.x or v16.x, now is a good time to update.Updating Node.js is not a risk-free exercise, so it is recommended users only do so when required. Homebridge does not support odd-numbered releases of Node.js, such as 15.x, 17.x.

Node.js 20.x from October 2023 until April 2026.At the time of writing, this means we will support: Homebridge (and verified plugins) support all current Active and Maintenance LTS releases of Node.js. From time to time you will need to update the Node.js runtime to enable support for new features. Homebridge requires Node.js installed on your system to run.
