Homebridge-http-motion-sensor NPM

homebridge-http-motion-sensor

This plugin offers you a motion sensor that can be triggerd via an HTTP request. This can be used in conjunction with an ESP8266 for instance or an Arduino with an ethernet shield. I will add an example Arduino script in the future.

Installation

Run the following command

npm install -g homebridge-http-motion-sensor

Chances are you are going to need sudo with that.

Config.json

This is an example configuration
