homebridge-applescript-status

Supports triggering AppleScript commands on the HomeBridge platform using either files or text commands set in the config. Additionally AppleScript can be used to provide a status for each accessory in order to keep the accessory in sync with whatever it's controlling.

Installation

1. Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-applescript-status
3. Update your configuration file. See config-sample.json in this repository for a sample.
