7 years ago I strugled with same problem. Homebridge worked perfectly with other plugins like - wemo - ifttt. After adding plugin homebridge-dash its suddenly hangs on. I realized that there is problem with privileges. The thing that helped me is -
edit file homebridge.service
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/homebridge.service
Change User=pi to User=root
[Unit] Description=Node.js HomeKit Server After=syslog.target
[Service] Type=simple User=pi EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/homebridge ExecStart=/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/bin/homebridge $HOMEBRIDGE_OPTS RestartSec=10 KillMode=process
[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
I hope it helps you!
