From time to time you will need to update the Node.js runtime and Homebridge package.

Updating the Homebridge Package

Updating the Homebridge package will also install the recommended version of Node.js.

To update the Homebridge package, you will need to connect via SSH and run:

sudo hb-config

Then select Update Homebridge.

You cannot run this option from the Homebridge UI Terminal.

Updating Node.js

You can also update Node.js independently of the Homebridge package:

sudo hb-config

Then select Update Node.js

This option can be executed from the Homebridge UI Terminal so is useful if you need to quickly update Node.js.
