Hi @uronito,

Are you receiving the below error?

.../homebridge/node_modules/mdns/lib/dns_sd.js:35
    throw ex;
    ^

Error: The module '.../homebridge/node_modules/mdns/build/Release/dns_sd_bindings.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 51. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 57. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).

The fix is quite simple: try executing a npm rebuild in the homebridge folder. If that does not work, try a npm install.

This issue was related to the keepAliveTimeout setting being changed in the newest NodeJS versions.

I can confirm this issue is now resolved. To resolve, update the modules to the latest version in the homebridge directory.
