homebridge-http-luminescence

Supports http ambient light sensor devices on the HomeBridge Platform. This is a modified version of the https://github.com/metbosch/homebridge-http-temperature plugin. This version only supports the light sensor.

Installation

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

Configuration

Configuration sample file:

"accessories": [
    {
        "accessory": "HttpLuminescence",
        "name": "Ambient Light Level",
        "url": "http://192.168.0.20/luminescence?format=json",
        "http_method": "GET"
    }
]

The defined endpoint will return a json looking like this

{
    "lightlevel": 150
}

This plugin acts as an interface between a web endpoint and homebridge. You will need additional hardware to expose the web endpoints with the light level information. I built my Temperature, Humidity and Light Sensor on the NodeMCU board with Arduino IDE.
