Homebridge-hydroponic NPM

homebridge-hydroponic (myLumii)

A homebridge plugin to interact with a myLumii light (for hydroponics) over the local LAN.

Originally, I tried using the various existing Tuya platform plugins, however, I found them to be unresponsive with the Home app and generally incompatible with my device. Additionally, I did not wish to use any that used Tuya's web API, as I intended to firewall this device from the internet. Therefore, I built my own.

This does not necessarily need to be a platform, however, I engineered it with this architecture in mind for extensibility.

Installation

Install this plugin using npm i -g homebridge-hydroponic.

Update the config.json file of your Homebridge setup, by modifying the sample configuration below. Use TuyaAPI/cli to link devices and get the ID/key.
