⚠️ Upcoming Deprecations:

  • The next major version v5 of the Homebridge UI will:
    • Be compatible with Homebridge v1 and v2
    • Drop support for Node.js v18 and earlier, so please update to v20 or v22 - more info on updating
    • Drop support for Raspberry Pi devices running on the armv6 architecture (like the Pi 1 and Pi Zero) - please update your hardware
    • Drop support for instances using pnpm as the package manager - consider updating your Homebridge instance to use npm instead - more info on updating
  • Note that these are not requirements for UI v4.69.0

⚠️ Plugin Config Validation

This version of Homebridge UI adds validation to plugin config screens. This does not apply to manual plugin configuration (with raw JSON).

  • If your entered configuration is valid, then you will see a green tick by the save button.
  • If your configuration is not valid, then you will see an orange warning triangle by the save button. You will still be allowed to save the configuration.
  • A plugin can enforce strict validation:
    • For plugin developers: if you want to enforce a valid configuration, you can add "strictValidation": true as a root property to your config.schema.json file.
    • For users: if the plugin developer has enabled this setting and your configuration is invalid, then you will see a red warning triangle by the save button. You will not be allowed to save the configuration until it is valid.

If you have a plugin which can be configured multiple times, then an icon will be shown on each configuration block.

Plugin developers:

  • Please do not rely on this validation and assume that a user's configuration will be valid: you should still validate the user's config on plugin startup
  • Remember that some users do not use the UI at all, and other users may prefer to configure using raw JSON rather than config screens
  • For custom UI screens, the validation icon will be hidden when the save button is disabled (using homebridge.disableSaveButton() from @homebridge/plugin-ui-utils)
  • Please report any cases where the validation is not working as expected
