# Usage
### Status Screen
This shows an overview of your Homebridge system. The dashboard is widget based and completely customisable with a number of themes available.
### Plugin Screen
This shows you the currently installed plugins and allows you to install, remove and upgrade plugins.
You can configure supported plugins using the graphical settings editor, removing the need to manually edit the `config.json`. Over 165 popular plugins have implemented support for this feature.
### Configuration Screen
The configuration screen allows you to modify your Homebridge `config.json`. The built in editor automatically syntax-checks your JSON and makes a backup of your config every time you make a change.
### Log Screen
This shows you the Homebridge rolling log. This is helpful for troubleshooting.
### Accessories Screen
This shows you the Homebridge accessories for all the Homebridge instances on your network. You can use this to control accessories from a web browser and works well on mobile devices which allows users to control Homebridge from non-Apple devices.

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