Homebridge-smartthings-ac NPM

Homebridge Smartthings AC Plugin

Control you Samsung SmartThings air conditioner with HomeKit using HomeBridge.

Not affiliated with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd!

Setup the Plugin

Install the plugin by running:

sudo npm install -g homebridge-smartthings-ac

To communicate with your SmartThings devices, you need to generate a SmartThings API token here: https://account.smartthings.com/tokens

Log in with your Samsung or SmartThings account and press GENERATE NEW TOKEN. Make sure to select at least the following authorized scopes for your new token:

List all devices
See all devices
Control all devices

If everything is set up correctly, the scope of your token should look something like this:

MyToken — x:devices:*, l:devices, r:devices:*

The generated API token will look like 7b2c425a-13ab-4e6f-ba42-0b11d21ba6e0. Copy this token and paste it into the plugin settings dialog in homebridge:

Settings

Finally, restart HomeBridge to reload the plugin.

Setup Development Environment

If you want to get involved, here's how you build and install the plugin locally on your machine.

Install Development Dependencies

Using a terminal, navigate to the project folder and run this command to install the development dependencies:

npm install

Build Plugin

TypeScript needs to be compiled into JavaScript before it can run. The following command will compile the contents of your src directory and put the resulting code into the dist folder.

npm run build

Link To Homebridge

Run this command so your global install of Homebridge can discover the plugin in your development environment:

npm link

You can now start Homebridge, use the -D flag so you can see debug log messages in your plugin:

homebridge -D

Watch For Changes and Build Automatically

If you want to have your code compile automatically as you make changes, and restart Homebridge automatically between changes you can run:

npm run watch

This will launch an instance of Homebridge in debug mode which will restart every time you make a change to the source code. It will load the config stored in the default location under ~/.homebridge. You may need to stop other running instances of Homebridge while using this command to prevent conflicts. You can adjust the Homebridge startup command in the nodemon.json file.
