Did you already check if there are incompatibilities?
Looking at the deprecated APIs, there may be a few (but to be honest, I haven't actively developed on the plugin recently, so I'm not sure).

Overall, I think the needed changes seem limited.. The only thing is that I do not yet know when I'll have time to go over them and test it.

@itavero i can fork it and check and let you know my findings.

@itavero - I review the code , you already using the correct classes and no where in the code i can find the old syntax that is obsoleted. So in some moment you can update package.json that "engines" is 2.0 ready.

Instead of const Units = Characteristic.Units; you will need to use const Units = api.hap.Units; (z2m is using api.hap.Units )
Instead of const Formats = Characteristic.Formats; you will need to use const Formats = api.hap.Formats; (z2m is using api.hap.Format)
Instead of const Perms = Characteristic.Perms; you will need to use const Perms = api.hap.Perms; (z2m is using api.hap.Perms )
Characteristic.getValue() has been removed in favour of Characteristic.value (Characteristic.value is used)
Accessory.getServiceByUUIDAndSubType() has been removed:
Instead of accessory.getServiceByUUIDAndSubType(Service, 'some-name'); you can simply use accessory.getService('some-name'); - (can't find it in code)
accessory.updateReachability() has been removed - reachability in general is no longer supported - can't be found in code

@rionshin Thanks for checking. I also just did a check and tried to actually run the plugin.. Did find some things already that need fixing, which I'm working on in #920
