Plugin doesn't work with Node v22

[sothmann]

Describe The Bug:
I updated from Node 18 to Node 22, and the plugin stopped working with the following error message (in the Homebridge logs when trying to load the plugin at startup): ERROR LOADING PLUGIN homebridge-rfxcom-accessories:
See more logs below.

After downgrading to Node 20 (v20.19.3), the plugin worked again.

To Reproduce:
Switch to Node v22 and restart homebridge. Check homebridge log.

Expected behavior:
Plugin to load successfully during Homebridge startup.

Hello @sothmann,
I’ve updated the dependencies and added tests for Node 22.
I don’t have an RFXCOM handy to test with, but you can try the beta v2.6.0-beta.1.

Let me know how it goes!
