homebridge-infocus-projector v1.0.0
An INFOCUS Projector plugin for Homebridge.
This creates a switch in homekit for the power status of the projector.
This is a fork from @ecoen66 homebridge-epson-projector, with a few fixes.
This was tested to work with the INFOCUS IN3118HD. It may work with any other INFOCUS projector with web control.
Installation
Run these commands:
% sudo npm install -g homebridge
% sudo npm install -g homebridge-infocus-projectorNOTE: If you install homebridge like this:
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridgeThen all subsequent installations must be like this:
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-epson-iprojectionConfiguration
Example accessory config (needs to be added to the homebridge config.json): ...
"accessories": [
{
"name": "Projector",
"ipAddress": "192.168.1.115",
"model": "2150",
"timeout": 10000,
"refreshInterval": 15,
"debug": false,
"accessory": "Epson iProjection"
}
]...
Config Explanation:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| accessory | (required) Must always be "Epson iProjection". |
| name | (required) The name you want to use for for the light switch widget. |
| ipAddress | (required) The IP address of the projector (should be static, not DHCP). |
| model | (optional) This shows up in the homekit accessory Characteristics. |
| timeout | (optional) The timeout duration for the web API calls. |
| refreshInterval | (optional) The number of minutes between power status polls and updates. Default is 15 |

To make your projector work with the plugin:
- Connect your projector to your home network.
- Write down the IP address of the projector.
- Create your config file according to the above example (or using the Homebridge UI).
This plugin is still very experimental. Please create an issue or a pull request for any problem you encountered.
The fact that it is slow to recognize the power status change after turning the projector on or off is a known issue - but it works...
