Re: [mh] homebridge lightbulb or light

[Serge M. (smartel) <sm...@vi...>]

I am trying to update my Homebridge integration, but having a hard time,

What I did:

-took the homebridge.pl code and added it to my code directory
-cloned the new 0.2.1 homebridge-legacy-plugins into my node_modules directory
-added a homebridge_service_path (pointing to my homebridge binary) and a homebridge_config_dir (pointing to /home/pi/.homebridge directory) variable in my mh.private.ini file.

I can start the service when I go to Menu and run the code, but my config.json file is not generated, and I am unable to stop or restart the service.


What I am missing?

 Thank you!

I have a new homebridge.pl (replaced homebridge_gen_config.pl since it both generates a config file, and now provides a webservice to respond to status requests) on my github homebridge branch, and a new httpmulti accessory. I tried publishing the accessory with npm, so that might work to install it.

So far, it seems to work, I can control lights, switches, fans, blinds, garagedoors — and IOS pulls the live status from MH. Which is neat. Both voice and the IOS 10 home app seem to work.

Thermostats also partially work. I only have a venstar, so I can pull the mode and current setpoint, and then change the setpoint. I have a bit more logic around adjusting schedules to do. If anyone has other thermostats they want to control, it should be straightforward if they want to add support.

Do you want to test it out? Be good to have some beta testing before including it to the upcoming 4.2 release.
