If your platform is not listed above, or you want to use your own service manager, see the [Manual Configuration](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x/wiki/Manual-Configuration) wiki article for instructions on setting up the Homebridge UI to run as a Homebridge plugin instead of a service.

The default username is `admin` and the default password is `admin`.

The UI can be accessed via web browser by default on port `8581` (e.g. `http://localhost:8581`).

# Contributing

Please see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).

# Troubleshooting

#### 1. Errors during installation

Make sure you installed the package with `sudo` and used the  `--unsafe-perm` flag. Most installation errors can be fixed by removing the Homebridge UI and reinstalling:

```shell
# cleanup
sudo npm uninstall -g homebridge-config-ui-x

# reinstall
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-config-ui-x
```

Make sure you are running [supported versions of node and npm](#supported-nodejs-and-npm-versions).

#### 2. Accessories tab missing

If the Accessories tab is not shown then you are not running Homebridge in insecure mode. See the [Enabling Accessory Control](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x/wiki/Enabling-Accessory-Control) wiki for details. If you have just enabled insecure mode make sure you have restarted Homebridge and refreshed the page in your browser.

#### 3. Running in Docker

The Homebridge UI supports the [homebridge/homebridge](https://github.com/homebridge/docker-homebridge) Docker image. You must enable the UI using the method described in [the wiki](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x/wiki/Enabling-UI-with-Docker).

#### 4. Ask on Discord

Join the [Official Homebridge Discord](https://discord.gg/C87Pvq3) community and ask in the [#ui-general](https://discord.gg/C87Pvq3) or [#ui-issues](https://discord.gg/C87Pvq3) channel.
