[enhancement]: node 24.5.0 supports PKCS1 with padding
Describe the solution you'd like
Good News everyone:
NodeJs upgraded OpenSSL to 3.5.1, and shipped it with nodejs version 24.5.0. As such the conditions to allow again PKCS1 with padding natively are met. I tested if PKCS1 with padding is possible, and the test passed. I am not using eufy products, but I assume, that you are interested in this development.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/59234
The PR is tagged with dont-land-on-v20.x and lts-watch-v22.x. So we can assume, that it will potentially backported to v22, but not to v20.
Have fun :)
I just noticed Homebridge Docker beta-2025-08-26 support node 24.6.0
hope it helps:
Node.js Version: v24.6.0
Node.js Path: /opt/homebridge/bin/node
Plugin Path: /var/lib/homebridge/node_modules
Update Node.js: hb-service update-node
Install Plugin: hb-service add homebridge-plugin-name
Remove Plugin: hb-service remove homebridge-plugin-name
root@hpe:/homebridge $ openssl version
OpenSSL 3.0.13 30 Jan 2024 (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.13 30 Jan 2024)

Nodejs comes with its own bundled openssl. Your openssl version is showing the version of openssl in your system.
To see which openssl version is bundled with nodejs, you can do: node -e "console.log(process.versions.openssl)"
I can confirm, upgrading to 24.8.0 and it is working.
also pi@homebridge:/var/lib/homebridge $ node -e "console.log(process.versions.openssl)" 3.5.2 pi@homebridge:/var/lib/homebridge $
Warning: this is not an official way. This is just what I did. I don’t know if it’s right I don’t know if I messed up my Homebridge instance for the rest of time. This made sense to me so I did it. Do at your own risk.
It depends on what platform you’re on. What I ended up doing was using this command:
sudo hb-service update-node 24
on a raspberry pi. This installed into the regular user node, then I just use some commands to copy the information over into homebridge:
sudo cp /usr/bin/node /opt/homebridge/bin/node sudo cp /usr/bin/npm /opt/homebridge/bin/npm sudo cp /usr/bin/npx /opt/homebridge/bin/npx
And verify with
/opt/homebridge/bin/node -v /opt/homebridge/bin/npm -v /opt/homebridge/bin/npx -v
You should see: v24.8.0 11.6.0 ...
And finally rebuild with this command to make sure it uses the right version:
sudo env PATH=/opt/homebridge/bin:$PATH hb-service rebuild
And restart: sudo systemctl restart homebridge
Everything seems to be working perfectly so far, I only have five plug-ins tho.
