Beware

This plugin is fairly new. It has already been used in several situations, but there's likely still some rough edges. Contributions are welcome to improve it. Want to help? Take a look at the CONTRIBUTING page.

Starting with version 0.3.0 of the plugin you'll need homebridge@0.4.35 - earlier versions will not provide event notifications and rules based on accessories provided by this plugin will not work.
