homebridge-mihomegateway v2.4.0

MiHome Gateway Platform Plugin

Energenie MiHome gateway plugin for Homebridge.

Installation

1. Install Homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-mihomegateway
3. Update your configuration file. See the sample below.

Updating

• npm update -g homebridge-mihomegateway

Configuration

Currently, the setup is a bit convoluted - sorry about that!

This will all be automated in upcoming releases but for now a bit of manual work is required.

Sample Configuration

"platforms": [{
    "name": "MiHome Gateway",
    "platform": "MiHomeGateway",
    "username": "",
    "password": ""
}]

• name - a friendly label for the MiHome gateway
• platform - must be set to MiHomeGateway
• username - call the register user service to create a new api user
• password - the password you used to register with (your password is only used for one initial authentication call - subsequent calls will use the api key obtained during authentication)
• token - optional the api key token obtained during authentication
• baseUrl - optional an override for the MiHome API URL

TODO

• Add additional device types (currently only supports light switches)
• Automate registration
