What's new

Version 2.0.1-2026-05-06+today

⚠️ Major update: Check Homebridge's plugin readiness indicators and update any outdated plugins before upgrading to Homebridge 2. Most plugins should continue to work, but older plugins that use removed Homebridge or HAP-NodeJS APIs may fail until updated.

If an incompatible plugin is running outside a child bridge, Homebridge may restart until that plugin is disabled or updated. Plugins in child bridges are isolated, so the Homebridge UI should remain accessible while the affected child bridge restarts.

Homebridge 2 changes the default mDNS advertiser to Avahi when available. If your HomeKit devices show "No Response" after updating, open Homebridge Settings → mDNS Advertiser and switch back to Bonjour HAP.

This release also adds Matter support, child bridge improvements, Homebridge UI 5.22.0, and Node.js 24.15.0.
