Homebridge pilight Plugin

This is an accessory plugin for Homebridge allowing to manage and control pilight devices.

What does this plugin do?

This plugin only communications to the pilight daemon via the WebSocket API exposed by pilight itself. You should be sure to enable this api and the configured port is not blocked by any firewall.

Install

Important: This plugin is using ES6/ES2015. Please use an appropriate environment like NodeJS v4 or higher.

If you have already installed homebridge globally, just install

npm install -g homebridge-pilight

Alternativly, add the dependency into your local project with

npm install -S homebridge-pilight

Configuration

The plugin registers itself as pilight. You have the following options:

If you are running a pilight daemon on the same machine, you will probably skip both host and port.

The optional setting sharedWS = true will share a single connection for devices addressing the same pilight instance.

The Setting type = "type" can be "Switch", "TemperatureSensor", "HumiditySensor" or "Dimmer".

Additionally you have the Homebridge options accessory (for the actual plugin) and name (for representation later).
