@mitchoklemen, would the Node.js v20 package from Synology work for you?

EDIT: I'm working on a Node.js v22 for you. Will update the ticket later today.

this request is for synology and not for synocummunity.

I used mreidtt's compiled ver. for x64,

https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/actions/runs/13424166942/artifacts/2620615929

... installed it and no problems until, but ...

Homebridge doesn't recognize this ver. 22.14.0, strange, dont know why. Did restart DS and Homebridge.

...
The plugin "homebridge-..." requires a Node.js version of ^18.13.0 || ^20.16.0 || ^22.5.1 which does not satisfy the current Node.js version of v20.13.0. You may need to upgrade your installation of Node.js - see https://homebridge.io/w/JTKEF

It seems that in their source code, it is programmed to recognise specific Synology versions of Node.js (https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-syno-spk/blob/latest/app/source.sh). I'm not familiar with this app but in theory there would be an executable or script somewhere in /var/packages/homebridge/ that could be modified to point to this Node.js v22. You may need to engage with the homebridge folks to get details on how to do this.
