homebridge-milight-esp-mqtt

A Homebridge plugin for the ESP8266 MiLight Hub.

Features

State update via MQTT (optional)

• If you use any remote to control your lights, the plugin can update those values also for the Homebridge.
• You can host an MQTT server on your Raspberry Pi too, so this is easy to setup.

Groups

• You can create groups, which will be a switch in your Home app too. If you toggle that, it will toggle all of the contained lights also.
