Homebridge 2.0 with Indigo plugin brings Siri to Indigo

On line 5 of your Config.json, remove the quotes from around "51826".

It's expecting an integer but you've provided a string.

I have Oregon Scientific Temperature & Humidity combo sensors in each room that are linked into Indigo as devices. I added their IDs into config.json, but they aren't showing up as accessories. Is there a way to get it to work with HomeBridge? I've also got a rain gauge and wind speed/direction sensor if you'd like info on adding or testing that.

I just read where HAP-nodejs was updated to allow dynamic allocations; would this be possible with the Indigo plug-in? This is more a curiosity than a request in that I've slowed my pace on adding new devices.

I set this all up today. It's fantastic, working great. One thing I'm having trouble with is how to start home bridge automatically when the Mac Mini is rebooted. I tried the startup trigger calling the runhomebridge executable, but that doesn't appear to be working. What is the step by step way to accomplish this so any reboot would bring the home bridge back on online.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

I am getting a similar error when starting Homebridge

The file I made was this

{
"bridge": {
"name": "Homebridge",
"username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
"port": 51826,
"pin": "031-45-154"
},

"description": "This is an example configuration file to configure the Indigo platform plugin. See README.md for more details.",

"username": “username”,
"password": “pass”,
"includeActions": true
}
],

"accessories": [
]
}

It's the quotation marks. Retype the line for username from your keyboard, no copy and paste You might have the same problem with other fields like password too.

I tried that typed it a few times saved again copied it over same problem and i get the same error on validation

Copy and paste this and see if it helps.

Code: Select all

Try using ATOM to edit the text.

https://atom.io

I am at a loss done with atom same problem. Tried Wrangler same problem


Got it - i was editing the txt file over and over finally just went to the son edited it there

This plug in is awesome - I got everything working in relatively short order and painless from your instructions!

Thanks so much!!

The only issue I am having is I could not get hot to start automatically from the instructions you have. When I do run the command to start it with the launch tool It does not work but if I just run it from the command line home bridge -D things are great,

Any thing you can tell me to try?

Thanks again for the plug in!!

Here I go again!

I'm about to receive an RFXCOM device that will allow me, through an Indigo plugin, to control my Somfy solar screens and, soon to be purchased, awning. I think HomeKit has the ability to control such items, perhaps with Siri commands such as "Open the shade". Does Homebridge include hooks to control these devices? Thanks.

Anyone have any experience with the interface into Indigo for the ZRTSI II for blinds?

Looking for a how to, or reference for codes to send the device to control the blinds.
