Let me start this by saying I am a complete novice when it comes to doing some of the things outlined in the installation instructions. I was able to get homebridge working and can now use Siri and see everything in my iOS 10 "Home" app. My issue is I can not figure out how to get Homebridge to automatically run when my iMac starts. I followed the steps but I think my problem is I do not know how to create a shell script or a plist. I even googled it all but it led me down a path I didn't want to mess with.
I thought I created the shell script properly but when I went to run chmod +x ~/runhomebridge it did not do anything. Then when it came to the plist I was really lost.
Can anyone assist me? It would be greatly appreciated.
I followed the install instructions and am running Indigo 6.1.10 on macOS 10.12.1.
thank you
