VantagePlugin

VantageControls InFusion plugin for homebridge: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge

VantageControls (http://www.vantagecontrols.com/) InFusion is an High End solution that can manage:

• lighting (standard on/off/dimmed lights and RGB solutions using DMX, DALI or wireless bulb like Hue or LiFX)
• thermoregulation (with own or third party thermostats and HVAC systems)
• curtains, doors (third party)
• A/V systems (own and third party)
• security systems (third party)
• Weather stations

With this plugin you will control all systems that is already connected to Vantage without additional support from the manufacturer of the connected device, for example you can control an AC system without the HomeKit support of the specific vendor because you are already control it via InFusion's Driver that count up to 18000 supported devices.

Installation

Install plugin with npm install -g homebridge-vantage Add platform within config.json of you homebridge instance:

Supported Devices

Currently it should be possible to control all loads registered on you InFusion device, but I'm working on the detection of the difference with Relay, Dimmer and RGB Loads; I'm ready to support Thermostats and other devices but I prefer to keep the program stable before publish further functionalities. My test plan consists of:

• RGB Philips Hue lights and Osram Lightify (controlled by Vantage, my Hue Bridge is not compatible with HomeKit and I'm happy of this)
• LiFX (controlled by Vantage)
• Legrand/BTicino MyHome Relay and Dimmer
• Legrand/BTicino MyHome Thermostat
• Youus DMX Driver

Stay tuned!

Configuration

All supported items will automatically added to the HomeBridge device inventory; use the "Exclude from Widgets" and "Display Name" property to remove some devices or change the displayed name.

TODOS

• manage multiple feedbacks coming from the InFusion Controller when multiple values are sent from HomeKit
• test with standard Relay/Dimmer devices (...ehm...)
