Homebridge-Devialet-Bridge

homebridge-plugin for Devialet Phantom with Dialog. Inspire from the initial homebridge-marantz-volume homebridge plugin ( https://github.com/stfnhmplr/homebridge-marantz-volume ) and phantom-bridge ( https://github.com/da2001/phantom-bridge ): Thanks to them, we'll have just a few work to do in order to manage Phantom devialet Volume via Dialog.

Prerequisite

1) install HomeBridge : sudo npm install -g homebridge 2) In order to the Plugin to work, please enable in the Spark application UPNP on your Dialog. please follow this link : https://help.devialet.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004436969-How-Can-I-Use-UPNP-with-my-Phantom-

( It should also work with a Solo Phantom Setup with Upnp enabled, no tries have been made yet. Any Feedback will be updated to ths setup ).

Installation

Follow the instruction in NPM for the homebridge server installation. The plugin is published through NPM and should be installed "globally" by typing:

sudo npm install -g homebridge-devialet-bridge

Configuration

Add as an accessory by editing the homebridge config.json file. config.json

Example:

"description": "This is an example configuration file for homebridge Devialet Phantom Dialog plugin, 
host is meant to specify the Ip adress of your dialog",
"hint": "Always paste into jsonlint.com validation page before starting your homebridge, saves a lot of frustration",
"accessories": [
     {
       "accessory":      "devialet-bridge",
       "name":           "Phantom Living Room",
       "host":           "192.168.1.15",
       "maxVolume":      50,
       "defaultVolume": 35

  ]

Notes

Accessory : must always be devialet-bridge
Name : any name you want to
host : must be the ip adress of your Phantom Bridge (static ip, or force by router)
maxVolume : number between 1 to 100 but please keep in mind that 100 is realy loud an siri can misunderstand something
defaultVolume : the volume you wnat when turn on the devialet ; number between 1 to 100 but please keep in mind that 100 is realy loud.
` If you are interested in setting the volume of your Phantom(s) with Siri, Only remember to not tell Siri "Set the light in the Living room to 100 %" ;)
We also suggest, in homekit, to put your Devialet Light switch in a different Room in order to not have bad surprise setting something like "Turn on all light in the Living Room" :)
