The [Homebridge UI](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x) web interface will allow you to install, remove and update plugins, and modify the Homebridge config.json and manage other aspects of your Homebridge service.

If you're using macOS or a mobile device, you should be able to access the UI via http://homebridge.local.
By default the UI can be accessed via web browser:
- http://homebridge.local or
- `http://<ip address of your server>:PORT` (default port is 8581).

<summary>How to find IP</summary>

If you're using Windows, or `http://homebridge.local` does not work for you, you will need to find the IP address of your Raspberry Pi another way:
Try one of:
- Login to your router and find the "connected devices" or "dhcp clients" page to find the IP address that was assigned to the Raspberry Pi.
- Use other device (Mac, iPhone, etc) to access `http://homebridge.local`, once you login using the default username and password (admin/admin) you can find the IP address under System Information.
- Download the [Fing](https://www.fing.com/) app for [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fing-network-scanner/id430921107?mt=8) or [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overlook.android.fing&hl=en_GB) to scan your network to find the IP address of your Raspberry Pi.
- As a last resort, if you plug a monitor into your Raspberry Pi, the IP address will be displayed on the attached screen once it has finished booting.

1. Login to your router and find the "connected devices" or "dhcp clients" page to find the IP address that was assigned to the Raspberry Pi.
2. Use an iPhone to access `http://homebridge.local`, once you login using the default username and password (admin/admin) you can find the IP address under System Information.

4. As a last resort, if you plug a monitor into your Raspberry Pi, the IP address will be displayed on the attached screen once it has finished booting.
</details>

Once you've found your IP address, login to the web interface by going to `http://<ip address of your server>`.
The default username is `admin` and the default password is `admin`.
