homebridge-bt-temp-sensor v0.0.1

homebridge-bt-temp-sensor

This is the Homebridge accessory for my little Arduino based Bluetooth temperature sensors that I wrote about in my blog post (https://damow.net/diy-homekit).

The Arduino sketch for the temperature sensors is included in the arduino directory within this repository.

Installation

You'll need to use a Bluetooth frontend (like bluetoothctl) to pair your HC-06-like devices, then use rfcomm to bind the devices to Bluetooth serial ports:

rfcomm bind rfcomm0 00:11:22:33:44:55

Then configure Homebridge for each Bluetooth temperature sensor you've set up in ~/.homebridge/config.json:

...
"accessories": [
...
    {
        "accessory": "BluetoothTempSensor",
        "name": "Temperature 1",
        "port": "/dev/rfcomm0"
    },
...
]
...

You should then be able to start Homebridge and the accessory should listen for temperature updates from the remote devices.
