Homebridge plugin that is a proof of concept to create something functional in a ridiculously small amount of code (50 lines to be exaxt, also this README is just 25 lines).
It impliments a Contact/Motion/Occupancy Sensor that is triggered via the output of a command line/shell script.
The script simply needs to return a 1 or 0
