HomeKit Support via Homebridge for Eqiva EQ3 Doorlocks

Installation

If not present, install and setup homebridge. Then install the plugin

npm install --update --global --unsafe-perm homebridge-keyble

In case of issues check the installation instructions of keyble

Pairing

Now register your smartlock with your keycard

# Install keyble globally (in future this will be keyble-cli)
sudo npm install --update --global --unsafe-perm keyble@0.2.6
keyble-registeruser -n John -q M0123456789ABK0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEFNEQ1234567

Check also the more detailed setup instructions Save the output of the registration, especially you need:

• the address
• the user_id
• the user_key

Now setup keyble's config in homebridge's config.json or in Homebridge Config UI X:

        {
            "locks": [
                {
                    "name": "My Key-BLE Lock",
                    "address": "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",
                    "key": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
                    "user": 0
                }
            ],
            "platform": "keyble"
        }

You can add several locks. If you remove a lock from the config they will be unregistered at next restart of Homebridge.

Now restart Homebridge and check the log. Your new lock should be setup and ready to be controlled via Homebridge.
