homebridge-doorbell v1.0.2
About
I've created a fork from voxmatt so I can implement another function to control the bell separate from the push button on the door. I will create a new accessory for the bell so I can schedule it using the home app. Also I will make a simple install manual using homebridge UI. For the original project visit Voxmatt.
A Homebridge plugin for a Raspberry Pi with an Automation Hat that is controlling an old, buzzer-activated door gate. Directly inspired by this article Please note that this plugin represents only the software component. The hardware is a different manner entirely, but is explained in the above mentioned article. Maybe I'll get around to detailing it someday...
Administration on the Raspberry Pi
To SSH:
- Make sure the Raspberry Pi is running
- Run
ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
in a terminal window - Enter the password for the Raspberry Pi
Homebridge config on the Raspberry Pi is configured here
~/.homebridge/config.json
To shutdown run: sudo shutdown -h now
To run the plugin locally on the raspberry pi (instead of from npm):
