## Installation



This package will deploy Homebridge and the Homebridge UI natively on your Synology NAS. It will create a new shared named `homebridge` to store the Homebridge configuration and user data.



#### Dependencies



This package will leverage the Synology supplied NodeJS v20 package 



#### Add the Homebridge Synology Package Source:



1. Open Package Center in DSM and select the `Settings` option.

2. Select the `Package Sources` tab.

3. Click `Add`

4. In the `Name` section enter `Homebridge`

5. In the `Location` section enter `https://synology.homebridge.io`

6. Click `OK`



#### Install Homebridge:



1. Go back to Package Center and search for `Homebridge`

2. Click on the `Homebridge` package then select `Install`

3. Click `Agree` when warned about using a package from an unknown publisher.

4. Click `Done` to confirm installation. 



*Please note low power device make take 10-15 minutes to install the package.*



Once the install has completed, a new Homebridge menu item will be shown in DSM which will open the Homebridge UI.



The Homebridge UI app starts on port `8581`.



If you have the Synology Firewall enabled, make a rule to allow access to port 8581 and the port Homebridge was assigned too.
