Homebridge Service

This package contains a simple Homebridge service implementation that can control Homebridge switches. In my personal setup, this is used in place of SSRs to control pumps and heating elements. Zigbee switches have been installed and integrated with Homebridge via Zigbee2MQTT and homebridge-z2m

Config

To set this up, create a Digital Actuator in your service, without assigning it a channel. Our code will act as the channel, taking signals and sending them to Homebridge to turn a switch on or off.

You need to provide:

mqtt-host - the host of the MQTT server. In my case, this is just the IP addres of my Brewblox server
block-name - the block name of the digital actuator you created above
homebridge-host - the IP or FQDN of the Homebridge server
homebridge-port - the port that the Homebridge server runs on
homebridge-auth-code - the auth code of the Homebridge server, retrieved from the Homebridge server homepage
homebridge-device - the name of the Homebridge device / swtich that will be controlled by the digital actuator block
service - the name of the Brewblox service that contains the block-name

Sample docker-compose entry

To add the setup to your docker-compose, a sample entry looks like this:

  boil-heating-element:
    image: ghcr.io/jmgasper/brewblox-homebridge:develop
    privileged: true
    restart: unless-stopped
    command: --port 5002 --mqtt-host=192.168.1.36 --block-name="Boil Heating Element" --homebridge-host="192.168.1.158" --homebridge-port=51887 --homebridge-auth-code="123-45-678" --homebridge-device="Brew Elements left" --service="brew-room"
