Install guide

First follow the instructions to install homebridge: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge

If you have Node and NPM setup basically:

Once you have homebridge installed, install this plugin:

npm install -g homebridge-homewizard

Now you will have to setup your config.json for homebridge. An example is included in this repo.

Post install

When you have installed homebridge and homebridge-homewizard and got them running and setup on your iOS device. All devices that homebridge-homewizard currently supports should popup on your iOS device as accessories in Homekit.

Config

Below is an example configuration for Homebridge. To run the HomeWizard plugin you need to add the platform object in the platforms array like below. The accessories array, has not functionality regarding the HomeWizard plugin and is used by Homebridge for other plugins etc.

Options:

• platform: should always be HomeWizard
• url: The url to your HomeWizard
• password: The password of your HomeWizard
• filtered(optional): Array of accessories that will be ignored by the plugin. If you have a switch in your HomeWizard you dont want to expose to Siri. But the name in here and it will be ignored.
• debug(optional): when set to true enables some extra logging regarding the http requests, usefull for debugging

Developing

All help developing this plugin is welcome. Homebridge-homewizard is written in ES6 and transpiled using Babel.

Adding device support

If you want to add support for new devices, you will need to create a new accessory class in the accessories folder. See for example switch or thermometer, next to that you will need to make the accessories factory in accessories.js aware of you new device type. The factory receives the entire response of the get-sensors call from the HomeWizard which lists all devices.
