homebridge-config-ui-x does not see latest nodeJS installation

[anarqist]

Current Situation

Config-ui-x does show in the Status page under System Information that there is currently nodejs v22.11.0 installed and as path Users/USERNAME/.nvm/versions/node/v22.11.0/bin

I installed nodejs with nvm package manager as described on their website for macOS

I manually updated nodejs with nvm and I can see in finder there are two folder under: Users/USERNAME/.nvm/versions/node/ v22.11.0 & v22.12.0

How do I tell homebridge-config-ui-x that there is a newer version downloaded/installed on my Mac?

I believe NodeJS is picked up from the path, but I could be wrong. Check out what the homebridge plist shows, it is in the directory /Library/LaunchDaemons/

Hi,
thanks for the answer. com.homebridge.server.plist points to :

<key>PATH</key>
 <string>/Users/USERNAME/.nvm/versions/node/v22.11.0/bin:

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
 <array>
<string>/Users/USERNAME/.nvm/versions/node/v22.11.0/bin/node</string>
<string>/Users/USERNAME/.nvm/versions/node/v22.11.0/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x/dist/bin/hb-service.js</string>

Could I edit the .plist and exchange 22.11.1 with 22.12.0 or would that break something?

You should be able to just edit the plist - is it generated when you installed homebridge.

I tried it with no success, it does not see the latest version, even after restarting hb-ui-x and homebridge itself.

I found this the wiki and also how to fix it by reinstalling everything. As currently everything is working just fine, I guess, I will just leave it as it is.
