Additional Context

Cannot upgrade Homebridge without updating Node.js

Homebridge v1.7.0 requires Node.js v18.15.0 or later. You are currently running Node.js v16.18.0.

Please upgrade Node.js before updating Homebridge.

Unfortunately, updating of x86 32bit versions of NodeJS is not supported within Homebridge-config-ui-x, and you will need to update your OS to 64 Bit in order to use the Homebridge supplied tools to update NodeJS. As updating the OS is a big change, you could do a manual update using one of the NodeJS builds supplied here - https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org

As always, please do a homebridge backup prior to doing any upgrades, and if feasible test the restore before starting.
