Control RF outlets with HomeKit / Siri using rcswitch-gpiomem

Installation

1. Install WiringPi
2. Install homebridge: npm install -g homebridge
3. Install homebridge-rcswitch-gpiomem: npm install --global homebridge-rcswitch-gpiomem
4. Update your configuration file.

Configuration

See sample-config.json

Either onCode and offCode or systemcode and unitcode are required. My switches use on and off codes, so that's what I recommend and all I can really help with.

• accessory: Must be RCSwitch (case sensitive)
• name :: string :: What you want to call the switch. Keep in mind that Siri will prefer anything other than your homebridge switch if there's any confusion, so name it something unique
• onCode, offCode :: int or string
  • If int: Decimal RF code to turn switch on / off
  • If string: Binary RF code to turn switch on / off
• systemcode :: string :: RF system code. I don't use this, please refer to other docs.
• unitcode :: int :: RF unit code. I don't use this, please refer to other docs.
• pin :: int, optional :: BCM pin connected to 433 mhz transmitter, defaults to 17
• pulseLength :: int, optional :: RF pulse length, defaults to 190
• bitLength :: int, optional :: bit length of RF code, only used if using decimal RF code, defaults to 24
• repeats :: int, optional :: Number of times to repeat the transmission of the code, defaults to 10 (as per the original rcswitch code)

Changelog

20160727 :: 1.1.3

• Move setRepeatTransmit to just before calling switchOn() to facilitate multiple switches with different desired repeat counts

20160727 :: 1.1.2

• Move setPulseLength from initialization to just before calling switchOn() to facilitate multiple switches with different pulse lengths (closes #2).
