Finding Your Device's ID

You'll need to know the ID of your device(s) to configure this plugin.

Log into the web interface at https://circle.logi.com.

Once logged in and viewing a camera, the URL should be along the lines of https://circle.logi.com/#/accessories/<ID>. The ID in the URL is the device ID required in the config objects above.

Configuration

In your Homebridge config.json file, add a new entry in platforms that looks like this:

{
  "platform": "Logi Circle Controls",
  "name": "<the desired name for the platform (mostly affects Homebridge logs)>",
  "email": "<the email for your Logitech Circle account>",
  "password": "<the password for your Logitech Circle account>",
  "defaultDeviceId": "<Optional: the ID of your camera (useful if you only have 1 device)>",
  "accessories": [] /* See "Accessories" subsection */
}

Accessories

In the above configuration, accessories is an array of accessories for this platform to control.

Currently, the available accessories are:

• Privacy mode switch (type: privacyMode)
• Camera on/off switch (type: streamingMode)
• LED on/off switch (type: ledPower)

An accessory config object looks like this:

{
  "type": "<an accessory type>",
  "name": "<the desired name for privacy mode switch (appears in the Home app)>",
  "deviceId": "<Optional: the ID of your camera. If not specified, uses `defaultDeviceId` from platform config>"
}

An example configuration for all available accessory that uses a defaultDeviceId might look like this:

{
  "accessories": [
    {
      "type": "privacyMode",
      "name": "Privacy Mode"
    },
    {
      "type": "streamingMode",
      "name": "Steaming Mode"
    },
    {
      "type": "ledPower",
      "name": "LED Power"
    }
  ]
}

Of course, you can exclude any accessories that you do not want to have displayed in your Home.
