Homebridge-harmony-api NPM

homebridge-harmony-api

A homebridge plugin for controlling individual Harmony Hub devices via harmony-api.

homebridge-harmony-api currently supports Switch, Fan, and Speaker accessory types.

Installation

This guide assumes that you already have a running [harmony-api](https://github.com/maddox/harmony-api) server.

# Install homebridge
$ npm install -g homebridge

# Install plugin
$ npm install -g homebridge-harmony-api

or add homebridge-harmony-api to your install.sh file.

Configuration

Configuration is as simple as adding a new accessories object for each device you'd like to control. Below is an example for an IR controlled air conditioner that I've taught my Harmony Hub to control. For more examples, see config.example.json.

{
  "accessory": "HarmonyDevice",
  "name": "Living Room Air Conditioner",
  "service": "Fan",
  "host": "localhost",
  "port": 8282,
  "hub_slug": "living-room",
  "device_slug": "air-conditioner",
  "commands": {
    "on": "power-toggle",
    "off": "power-toggle",
    "rotation_speed": {
      "33": "low",
      "67": "med",
      "100": "high"
    }
  }
}

Caveats

harmony-api currently conflicts with the homebridge-harmonyhub plugin. You won't be able to run them on the same host because they bind to the same port to discover harmony hubs on your network. My personal workaround for this is to link my Harmony Activities to HomeKit via my SmartThings hub and then using the [homebridge-smartthings](https://github.com/pdlove/homebridge-smartthings) plugin. In the future I'd like to add support for harmony activities to this plugin.

TODO

Add support for harmony hub activities
Investigate adding support for more HomeKit services and characteristics
