homebridge-griddy v1.1.1

homebridge-griddy

This is a plugin for surfacing a switch that is used with ERCOT pricing, specifically for Griddy users. The switch flips once electricity cost per kWh for a specified hub or load zone crosses a set threshold and turns off once it drops below. It is a partially-working implementation into HomeKit. This plugin is work in progress. Help is appreciated!

Installation

1. Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin using npm install -g homebridge-griddy
3. Update your configuration file. See sample-config below for a sample.
