Has anyone installed the public beta and tried Homebridge, Siri, Home app with indigo plugin?
My iPhone is also my work phone so I stay away from Betas.

webdeck wrote:Homebridge is unaware of anything you do outside of Homekit, so it won't reflect any changes to your devices. Since homebridge-indigo uses the RESTful API to communicate with Indigo; it has no way of being notified by Indigo when things change. I could make it continually poll Indigo, but that would be a lot of overhead on the server.

Just a thought...

I'll put it on my to do list. I wanted to learn more about plugin writing anyway.

I had been experimenting with writing my own plugin (about bloody time eh?) to manage the devices included in the config file but if you were planning to do that it’d probably make sense for it to all be included in one. Essentially all it was going to do was have a list of all devices that could be included and then write/remove them from the config.json file. Eventually as I developed it I’d have liked to have been able to check that Homebridge was running, auto check for updates and also add in the “treatas” options. Of course it would have taken me about a year to write it at my current pace of learning
