homebridge-stonehill

This plugin exposes information from a REST endpoint as temperature and humidity characteristics. It's helpful for understanding how to roll-up several accessories in one platform.

Install

1. Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin using: git clone https://github.com/fredrikholmen/homebridge-stonehill.git
3. Go to the homebridge-stonehill directory
4. Run: NPM install
5. Update your configuration file. See the sample below.
6. Start homebridge using: homebridge -D -P ../homebridge-stonehill

Configuration

Example config.json:

{
    "bridge": {
        "name": "<Bridg name>",
        "username": "<username>",
        "port": <port>,
        "pin": "<pin>"
    },

    "description": "This is an example configuration file with no accessories and one Stonehill platform. You can use this as a template for creating your own configuration file.

    "accessories": [],

    "platforms": [{
        "platform": "Stonehill",
        "name": "Stonehill",
        "server": "<Your local REST server IP>"
        }
    ]
}

Remarks

The Homebridge package loads all plugins starting with "homebridge-" in its directory name. However, for the plugin to be found you must point it to the directory that holds your plugin directories.

Credit

Thank you to Luca Critelli and his http-temperature-humidity plugin that I borrowed heavily from to set up the accessory.
