homebridge-rfchacon v0.0.1

THIS PROJECT IS UNDER DEVELOPPEMENT - FORK NOT FINISHED !

homebridge-rfchacon

Homebridge plugin purpose-built for controlling 433MHz radio frequency outlets, using chacon / dio protocol, which can be purchased inexpensively. (i.e. these). Homebridge maintains state information, so you can always know if you left that lamp on.

Tested on a Raspberry Pi Zero running Raspbian (Debian) and Node.js v6.9.0. This should work on most Raspberry Pi models, however YMMV

Supports lights, switches, and fans

Installation

• Install homebridge
  sudo npm install -g homebridge

• Install homebridge-rfoutlets
  sudo npm install -g homebridge-rfchacon --Not Packaged Yet

• Update your homebridge configuration

Notes

• The user which homebridge is run from must be on the list of sudoers as the chacon_send executable requires root privileges
• A great guide on how to record RF signals and set up your Pi to transmit can be found here. Note: the web portion of the guide is not required

Configuration

• name: Name of your device
• type: Light, Switch, or Fan (required)
• manufacturer: manufacturer of the device plugged into the outlet (optional, defaults to blank)
• model: model of the device plugged into the outlet (optional, defaults to blank)
• serial: serial number of the device plugged into the outlet (optional, defaults to blank)
• pin: GPIO pin of the 433MHz transmitter (optional, defaults to 0)
• module_id : Remote control Id you want to emulate with 433Mhz sender. Could be randomize if your outlet has learning mode
