Homebridge Teleruptor
Controls channel relays with a Raspberry Pi using HomeKit and creates behaviour of a push button to control lights.
Hardware
The hardware used.
- Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
- Multi channel relay board connected to GPIO pins
- opto-couplers used to detect on/off state of lights
The raspberry pi can then control the state of the lights. Normal push buttons are still usable.
Installation
- Install homebridge using:
sudo npm install --unsafe-perm -g homebridge - Install this plugin using:
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-teleruptot - Update your configuration file. See
config-sample.jsonin this repository for a sample.
