honeywell-api v1.1.1

honeywell-api

Simple web server to retrieve credentials for using the Honeywell Home service.

The process requires two separate logins:

1. A login for a developer site to generate API keys. You probably don't have a login for this site, but that's OK, because the instructions below explains the process.

2. A login for a service to authorize an application. You probably already have a login for this service, because you've already created a login when you started to use the Honeywell Home App.

API Keys

First, generate two parameters, a consumerKey and a consumerSecret:

1. Go to the Honeywell Home developer site.

2. If you have already registered, click on LOGIN; otherwise, you will have to create an account, click on SIGNUP.

3. Once you have logged in, click on MY APPS and then on CREATE NEW APP. You will be asked to enter an App Name and a Callback URL. Please enter the values you see here: (Protip: copy-paste the values from the fileconfig/options.global.js.)

4. After you click on Save Changes, you will see something like this:

5. Now click on homebridge-honeywell-home and you will see something like this:

6. Edit the file config/options.global.js to include the values shown in your browser, e.g.,

   consumerKey: 'A5nV2bVn7Jzo4FzcZQyADZVGoxSrHAJe',
   consumerSecret: 'xjokooAQHWkqAEel'

7. Finaly, click on LOG OUT.

Generate OAuth credentials

In the terminal:

% npm start

This starts a node ./app.js process and opens up a browser window:

Click on the login link:

Enter the Email and Password that you use for your Honeywell Home App and click on LOG IN:

Skim the text, and Click onALLOW`:

Select the devices that you want to manage, by clicking in the upper-right-hand corner of each device:

Click on CONNECT:

You will need to enter these exact values into the configuration section for your application, e.g., for homebridge-honeywell-home, the file ~/.homebridge/config.json would have this added to it:

    { "platform"         : "homebridge-honeywell-home"
    , "name"             : "HoneywellHome"
    , "credentials"      :
      { "consumerKey"    : "A5nV2bVn7Jzo4FzcZQyADZVGoxSrHAJe"
      , "consumerSecret" : "xjokooAQHWkqAEel"
      , "accessToken"    : "MbCNslDA5jJJdm8JRhGOXWKdPYKQ"
      , "refreshToken"   : "YgOEocILQcPySJiLod33UzPXNFDE4rQ1"
      }
    , "options"          : { "ttl": 600, "verboseP" : false }
    }

You can now terminate the node ./app.js process started earlier.

Enjoy!
