homebridge-espurna v0.0.28

homebridge-espurna

A Espurna firmware temperature, humidity and pressure accessory for Homebridge.

Installation

1. Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-espurna
3. Update your configuration file. See sample-config.json in this repository for a sample.

Configuration

Sample configuration:

"accessories": [
    {
        "accessory": "Espurna",
        "name": "Living Room Weather",
        "temperatureUrl": "http://192.168.12.5/api/temperature?apikey=ABCDEFGH",
        "pressureUrl": "http://192.168.12.5/api/pressure?apikey=ABCDEFGH",
        "humidityUrl": "http://192.168.12.5/api/humidity?apikey=ABCDEFGH",
        "httpMethod": "GET",
        "usesHumidity": true,
        "usePressure": true,
        "cacheExpiration": 60
    }
]

Set useHumidity to false if your HTTP endpoint doesn't include a humidity reading. Set usePressure to false if your HTTP endpoint doesn't include a pressure reading.

The cacheExpiration option specifies, in seconds, how long HTTP responses will be stored in the in-memory cache.

This plugin only acts as an interface between a web endpoint and Homebridge. You will still need some dedicated hardware to expose the web endpoints with the temperature and humidity information. In my case, I used a simple NodeMCU board and a BME280 (or BMP280).
