homebridge-config-ui-x 4.79.0

on Node.js NPM

⚠️ Upcoming Deprecations:

• A new version of Homebridge UI (v5) will be released in July 2025. This will be compatible with both Homebridge v1 and v2 (in beta).
• Initially, there will be no significant differences between Homebridge UI v4 and v5. The major version increment primarily reflects the removal of support for outdated technologies and hardware. UI v5 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 v4.79.0
