Indigo Domotics

I’m thinking of adding wunderground data and maybe some others in a second Homebridge instance to my HomeKit setup.
I gather I have 3 options:
1. Use the Custom Server option with HBB
2. Manually add a second instance on the Mac running Indigo
3. Install on a separate computer (Raspberry Pi)
I’m looking for advice, experiences, or links to helpful howtos; to decide which way to go.
My HBB-Indigo is working great and my chief goal is to not screw that up.
Thanks all.

Out of interest how are you planning to get weather information into HB? I wasn't aware that was a supported feature of homekit let alone homebridge.. ?

I’m planning on using Homebridge-weather station to pull down info from wunderground.com that my Ambient Weather WS-2902 sends up. Elgato’s Eve Weather and Netatmo work with HomeKit for Temperature, Humidity, etc.

Well having a look around there’s this.. I’m not sure how it’d get your data from your WS-2902 (it doesn’t seem to list compatible stations but worth a shot I guess)

https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridg ... n-extended

Or there’s this to get data direct from Wunderground:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-wunderground

If I were setting these up I’d just set it up as a separate install of homebridge on my Mac.. HBB Can monitor it and do some basic config for some modules, but in general it’s isolated from your primary HBB installation and vice versa. (I have this setup for homebridge-envisalink, homebridge-nest and homebridge-ffmpeg and a few other modules)

If I understand correctly: You have a weather station. It sends data to WUnderground.com. You want that same data in Indigo.

Why not just use the Wunderground Indigo plugin to get the data back from WUnderground and into Indigo? It's a rock solid plugin and has been doing great for me for a year now. Once it's in Indigo you should be able to make it appear in HomeKit.

I do use the Wunderground plugin and that drives my weather based automations, like setting the thermostat. Getting that data from Indigo to HomeKit has been a stumbling block.

I would to do this also.
