Homebridge-homee

homee platform plugin for homebridge: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge

Installation

Follow the instruction in NPM for the homebridge server installation. The plugin is published through NPM and should be installed "globally" by typing:

sudo npm install -g homebridge-homee

Alternatively you could use homeean to install homebridge-homee (including Homebridge) on a Raspberry Pi with a plain vanilla Raspbian installation. homeean is a web based buildtool, which generates an individual buildscript (Bash-Script) for user selected Smart Home Tools to be installed on a Raspberry Pi running on Raspbian. homebridge-homee (including its dependecy Homebridge) is provided as an homeean install option.

Configuration

config.json

Example:

{
    "bridge": {
        "name": "Homebridge",
        "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:51",
        "port": 51826,
        "pin": "031-45-154"
    },
    "description": "This is an example configuration file for the homebridge-homee plugin",
    "hint": "Always paste into jsonlint.com validation page before starting your homebridge, saves a lot of frustration",
    "platforms": [
        {
            "platform": "homee",
            "name": "homee",
            "host": "192.168.178.1",
            "user": "your-username",
            "pass": "your-password",
            "groupName": "group-name",
            "alarmGroup": "AlarmGroupName",
            "deviceId": "homebridge",
            "disableRGB" : false,
            "disableCT" : false,
            "disableCTforRGB" : false,
            "disableRGBforDevice" : [
                123,
                456
            ],
            "disableCTforDevice" : [
                666,
                815,
                4711
            ]
        }
    ]
}

If you use multiple instances of this plugin with the same homee, you have to specify a custom deviceId.

Exclude nodes or homeegrams

This plugin integrates all (known) devices to homebridge by default. You can limit the integration to certain devices by creating a group in homee and adding all the devices you want to use with homebridge. If not explicitly specified, the name of this group defaults to 'Homebridge'. It may be changed using the optional 'groupName' statement. Devices outside this group are ignored.

Device Limit

Homekit cannot manage more than 100 devices per bridge. If you have together more than 100 devices and homeegrams, you have to filter some of them with a group.

Security System

You can activate a security system. Just create an alarm group in homee and add it to your config file. Possible triggers are e.g. motion detectors, smoke detectors, leak detectors and so on. You can add as many triggers as you like. In combination with the presence status in homee, the selected sensors can trigger an alarm in HomeKit.

The manipulation alarm of the sensors is also transmitted to HomeKit.

Since the presence states cannot be matched one to one with homee, the following mapping is carried out:

homee	Homekit
Home	Disarmed
Sleeping	Night Armed
Away	Stay Armed
Holiday	Away Armed

RGB and Color Temperature Light Sources

Some configuration parameters allow you to precisely control the capabilities of some or all RGB or color temperature lights in HomeKit:

• "disableRGB" : true removes the RGB color controls from all devices
• "disableCT" : true removes the color temperature controls from all devices
• "disableCTforRGB" : true removes the real color temperature controls from all RGB light fixtures. However, "fake" color temperature controls are still available. By using those controls, HomeKit emulates various color temperatures with the RGB LEDs but does not make any of the additional warm and cold white LEDs your fixture may feature.
• By using the "disableRGBforDevice" statement, you may remove the RGB color controls from certain devices by adding their node IDs to the list. To find out the node ID of a device, you may open that device in the homee web application and check the browser address bar afterwards: e.g., https://my.hom.ee/deviceslist/device/id/331 indicates a node ID of 331.
• Likewise, you may use the "disableCTforDevice"statement to disable color temperature controls for specific devices.
