Configuration
"platforms": [
{
"platform": "mPower",
"name": "mPower",
"outlets": [
{
"name": "Fan",
"username": "admin",
"password": "hunter2",
"url": "10.0.1.5",
"id": "1"
},
{
"name": "Hall Light",

}
]| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
name | The human-readable name of the device plugged into your outlet |
username | Your mFi Controller username |
password | Your mFi Controller password |
url | May be either a hostname or an IP address |
id | The specific outlet you hope to control. For mPower mini, this can only be 1. For mPower and mPower PRO, you might have to do some trial and error to figure out which outlet has which id. I only have an mPower mini, so I can't check :) |
How it works
This plugin is basically a homebridge-compatible implementation of the Ubiquiti mFi outlet HTTP API. It sends a HTTP request via curl to your mFi outlet device (not the controller) to manually toggle the device on or off.
