homebridge-hyperion-jub

A hyperion homebridge plugin

Setting up hyperion to work with homebridge using existing solutions felt somewhat lacking, therefore, I created a new plugin!

Installing

Using the homebridge web UI, or:

npm i -g homebridge-hyperion-jub

This plugin supports:

• On/Off
• Brightness
• Color
• Hue
• Saturation
• Effects

Some of these may require the Eve- or home+ app.
Home+
Eve app (Untested)

These links are not affiliated. Other apps may work, the apple home app doesnt support custom characteristics, but base modifications should work.

A big thanks to cortl for creating a plugin in the first place - the knowledge from his repository definitely helped me create this plugin

• platform required: must always be "HyperionJub"
• name optional: display name of your device (default: TV backlight)
• url required: IP/URL of your hyperion instance. Remember to configure your router to give your device a static ip.
• port required: port of your hyperion webserver (default: 8090)
• token optional: authorization token (see hyperion network configuration)
• priority optional: allows you to change the called priority to Hyperion (lowest priority overrides higher priority).
• effects optional: Allows you to start effects available in hyperion. Due to limitations of the home app, these effect will be shown as numbers, and also requires one of the above apps. You may at any time reorder, remove or add the effects, though.

Controlling effects

The actual configuration of effects should be done using the hyperion webinterface. The list of characteristics would simply be way to big, if I had to implement every parameter available.
