Standalone Mode
Standalone mode was removed in Homebridge UI v5.0.0. It is no longer possible to run the Homebridge UI as a separate process from Homebridge using this mode, and the standalone config option no longer has any effect.
Use hb-service — the supported way to run Homebridge and the Homebridge UI together as a service. It provides the same benefit standalone mode offered (the UI stays available to view logs or restore a backup if Homebridge itself fails to start), without the separate process to install and maintain.
If you are on an old UI version (v4.x or earlier) with standalone mode enabled, you should migrate to hb-service before upgrading:
After migrating, remove the "standalone": true option from the config platform block in your config.json — it is ignored by current versions.
