homebridge-switchhub

User defined switches for http requests. Useful for lights, A/V systems, home automation, whatever

Blinds Hub

Define your blinds with whatever name you want to appear as the input title on Homekit controls. Then, the appropriate endpoint with pinUp and pinDown to call. Complete http endpoints are constructed as host + '?' + pin. Currently only built to support one http method per service, meaning, all endpoint calls will be either GET (default) or POST etc.
