Install

Setup is straight forward:

npm install -g homebridge-w215

Configuration:

Add the following accessory to your config.json.

{
    "accessories": [{
        "accessory": "w215",
        "name": "Your device name",
        "host": "hostname of plug or ip address",
        "username": "admin", //default is always admin
        "password": "your device pin"
    }],
    ...
}

Issues

Add a github issue and I will look into it. It's early days yet and I just got this working for my own w215 switches.

Notes:

• This accessory plugin does not perform discovery, although that would be great. You have to add it to your config.json. I did consider doing this as a MQTT plugin so that I could use it in both homebridge and smartthings... Maybe in a future life.
• You will not be able to see power consumption in the Home app provided by apple. This is pretty poor really, but if you download eve home, it's a bit more comprehensive. There is also an app in the app store called "Home" that costs £10 that claims to be the most comprehensive... If you're cheap like me, I would go with EVE if you want that kind of information, or use the d-link app to get consumption.
