Homebridge Status Widget

• Script for the iOS App Scriptable that shows a small summary of your Homebridge instance
• All infos shown are based and provided by the Homebridge Config UI X found at https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-config-ui-x
• Thanks to the github user oznu for providing such a nice programm!
• This script does not work if you don't have the Homebridge service (Homebridge Config UI X) running
• This script was developed with Homebridge Config UI X in version 4.32.0 (2020-11-06), Homebridge at version 1.1.6 and Scriptable app in version 1.6.1 on iOS 14.2. Maybe you need to update the UI-service OR Homebridge OR the Scriptable app OR your iPhone if this script does not work for you
• also thanks to github user kevinkub for providing a line chart example at https://gist.github.com/kevinkub/b74f9c16f050576ae760a7730c19b8e2

How to use

• you actually only need to configure
  • the URL of the system running the Homebridge Config UI X (the hb-service), including the port e.g. http://192.168.178.33:8581
  • username of the administrator of the homebridge-config-ui-x instance (not the actual linux user)
  • password of the administrator of the homebridge-config-ui-x instance
• the residual parameter can be tweaked a bit for your needs
  • e.g. fileManagerMode, must be set to LOCAL if you do not use iCloud Drive. Default is ICLOUD
  • e.g. the systemGuiName, the name of your system running the Homebridge Config UI X (the hb-service)
  • e.g. the timeout could be increased if your system does not respond within 1 second
  • e.g. set the temperatureUnitConfig to 'FAHRENHEIT' to use °F instead of °C
• if your homebridge-config-ui-x instance is not reached within the specified timeout (currently 1sec) the following screen is shown:
