Can't connect home bridge to HomeKit on iPhone

Current Situation

Installed Homebridge on my iMac, node version is 10.180. I tried several times to add Homebridge to my iPhone HomeKit and each time it tells me that I may need to start my accessory before I can add it. I have restarted homekit several times as well as my computer. Also it tells me that my accessory needs to be towed on and connected by ethernet which my iMac is.
