homebridge-edomoticz Plugin

[Marci]

Is this with old shim or my plugin?

Is your current homebridge installation in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge?

I hadn't noticed your post with the screen shots, I'm using old shim. When I get in from work I'll update to your plugin and give it ago.

Thanks mate.

I got home and realised my homebridge wasn't running. I ran it and got this error. Any ideas?

Update:- After a restart its working?! How strange

Code: Select all

Haha, thats brilliant.. Replaced my domoticz shim with your plugin and it connected to all my existing devices. They also show up as lights and switches respectively. The feedback looks great.

What a wonderful job, thank you. I noticed you have a TV symbol next to your TV, if that TV is in the living room and you ask Siri "turn tv in living room off" does it turn off? Mine turns everything off in living room.

Again, thank you.

[Marci]

Go into eve, settings, accessories, find each TV, give each TV a unique Siri name, change it's Used For icon to TV.

Have you created rooms and assigned accessories to those rooms in Eve?

But yes... with command 'turn living room TV off' or via it's unique name with 'turn plasma off'.

[simon_rb]

I played about with it briefly yesterday and did change the symbol to Tv, but the device is called living room tv so maybe that conflicts. If I say turn off living room tv then it turns off. If I say turn tv in the living room off it turns everything off in the living room lol. No biggy just trying to understand how it all works.

I have curtains and blinds, I have one switch for each curtain/blind in domoticz to open and close them. I have setup a scene called open curtains,open kitchen blind etc.. And it works well. Just wondered if there is a way for your plugin to show them as blinds/curtains to HomeKit? It works fine the way it is, was just wondering. Maybe changing the symbol as I've not don't that yet.

Thanks again! Works great.

I'll need JSON output for those devices to map them to HomeKit's native Window-covering type. Instructions for getting this are in first post.

[SwordFish]

K - looks to have installed ok... Use

Code: Select all

sudo find / -name homebridge

...to find out where it's put the binary.

This is the outcome;

It must be failing to compile silently... will get back to you with further steps (assuming you've tried the "if homebridge fails to install" steps in the original post)

Yes, I did try that to. But when I got time I'll will try it again just to be shore.

Ok, I'll send them over this evening mate. Cheers

[Marci]

Try...

Code: Select all

 sudo npm install -g --verbose homebridge

...and keep an eye out for errors!

Yep, best to avoid using room name as part of accessory name. Does cause confusion for Siri.

[simon_rb]

All my devices in domoticz are named by the room they are in. Like dining room tv, dining room ceiling light, living room tv, living room wall lights etc.. Maybe rename the devices to lounge wall lights, and dinner TV rather than dining room and living room.

Thanks for all the help
Will try that later this week, when I've got some spare time.

[simon_rb]

As promised, I have not included the Utility blind as thats the same as the Kitchen Blind.

Hope this helps, Cheers.

[Marci]

Are they just open/closed type, or positional with dimmer control?

[simon_rb]

Are they just open/closed type?

Yes, Just open and close.

[Marci]

Could you just close them and grab same output? Need to see what changes...

Cool - shall have an update supporting those by Sunday hopefully.

[SwordFish]

Had some free time and tried

Code: Select all

 sudo npm install -g --verbose homebridge

There where no errors and it ends with oke.
I also tried the solution on the first post and and that didn't work either.
