@Stromos, please use PR only to asses code.
The message is pretty self explanatory, no ?

[Stromos]

I apologize, I wasn't sure if the fix was supposed to get around it. I don't necessarily want to downgrade Node because a lot of plugins always want the latest version. Is this considered a Node issue that will be fixed in a node update or something deprecated that needs to be replaced?

[lenoxys]

I'm completely dépend of eufy rely on this cypher which has been deprecated by NodeJS. So until NodeJS provide me a way to bypass this security measure (this is currently in discussion) I don't have choice

Hi, I'm new to eufy cams. Just purchase two S220s SoloCams. I'm running Homebridge in Docker on Synology. But I know only how to downgrade or upgrade Homebridge, but I'm not sure how to downgrade Node.js. Can you help please? Thank you

[ccanalia82]

You need to downgrade to v20.11.0What I do is:1. Go into the terminal through HB. 2. Then do hb -service update-node 20.11.03. Then close terminal and restart HBOn May 24, 2024, at 19:39, Martynet ***@***.***> wrote: Hi, I'm new to eufy cams. Just purchase two S220s SoloCams. I'm running Homebridge in Docker on Synology.

Don’t use sudo in this case. It’ll work without it. That’s why my examples showed without. =)Sent from my iPhoneOn May 25, 2024, at 14:12, Martynet ***@***.***> wrote: You need 20.11.0.

It’s working now!! Thank you!

[mynameisbrendan]

I have been meaning to address this error for a while now. This issue was the first result when I googled the log text, and the command above has quickly downgraded my node.js and I have my cameras back. Thanks!

[mpjalexander]

The log entry says, “ You can override this warning by configuring a special parameter in the global configuration.” I don’t use the plugin for live streaming, so what’s the special parameter I need to add to ignore this issue?

I also don't use live streaming. So how to override the parameter?

[jadonbaker]

Could we please have some details on how to override this parameter? I also don't require live streaming and cannot use this plugin currently.

[dfberger]

I just looked at the code (

plugin/src/plugin/platform.ts

Line 317 in 9ec1da3

if (!this.checkNodeJSVersionCompatibility()) {

), and it looks like (1) you can't actually suppress the error message and (2) the error message doesn't stop the plugin from initializing.

The compatibility check also doesn't check to see if the CVE revert has been applied (which is only possible in node 19, 20, and 21), so it will show up in the log even if the --security-revert argument has been passed to node at startup.
