What happened?

Plug in won't load due to node error. I have the most recent node version, but get the below error:

Error: Your current Node.js version (v20.12.2) is incompatible with the RSA_PKCS1_PADDING used by the plugin. If you run the plugin with an incompatible version of Node.js, livestream functionality will be disrupted.

  You can override this warning by configuring a special parameter in the global configuration.
  To resolve this issue, please consider downgrading to a compatible version using a command similar to: sudo hb-service update-node 20.11.0.

  Versions known to cause compatibility issues with this plugin include those within the following ranges:
  - Node.js 18.x.x (starting from 18.19.1 up to the next major release)
  - Node.js 20.x.x (starting from 20.11.1 up to the next major release)
  - Node.js 21.x.x (starting from 21.6.2 up to the next major release)

Did you check this Common Issues pages ?

Did you read the error message?

You'll need to run the following within the Homebridge terminal.

hb-service update-node 20.11.0

Same here!

Every Homebridge update updates node.js and then the plugin doesn't work anymore until you downgrade node.js to 20.11.0. Please update therefore the plugin.

My concern has been, would downgrading Node.js that many minor versions break all the other plugins I have installed? Turns out, my other plugins seem to be working fine.
