homebridge-volumio v1.0.1

Homebridge Plugin

With this plugin you can create HomeKit service for Volumio.

Speakers were introduced within the HomeKit protocol in iOS 10. However the Home App from Apple doesn't support controlling speakers.

As a workaround, the accessory is declared as "Lightbulb" and you can control the volume by controling the "lightbulb Brightness"

Installation

Follow the instructions to install homebridge HomeBridge Repo

To install the homebridge-volumio plugin, run sudo npm install -g homebridge-volumio

Configuration

The plugin is configured as part of your Homebridge config.json file. Example addition to existing config.json:

    "accessories": [
        {
            "accessory": "volumio",
            "name": "living speakers"
        }
    ]

If your volumio server name is different than the default 'volumio', specify it by "server" parameter.

Example:

    "accessories": [
        {
            "accessory": "volumio",
            "name": "living speakers",
            "server": "http://living.local"
        }
    ]
