Explanation:

Direct Updates

This method is nearly instant.

When properly setup, you should see something like this in your Homebridge startup immediately after the PIN:

[2019-4-12 14:22:51] [Hubitat] connect to ws://192.168.10.169/eventsocket
[2019-4-12 14:22:51] Homebridge is running on port 51826.

Installation:

1. Hubitat MakerAPI App Configuration

Under the Hubitat Web Interface, Click on Apps in the left side menu.
Click on the button +Add Built-In App
Select Maker API from the list of apps
Enable Allow Access via Local IP Address
Tap Done and you are finished with the App configuration.
Go into the newly added Maker API app
Select the devices you would like to have available via HomeKit
At the bottom you see a few examples of access URLs. You will need two parts of this (App URL and Access Token)
- example:
```
http://192.168.10.169/apps/api/132/devices/[Device ID]?access_token=148fc06d-7627-40b0-8435-8d0cc31617ab
```
  - The App URL is
```
http://192.168.10.169/apps/api/132/
```
  - The Access Token is
```
148fc06d-7627-40b0-8435-8d0cc31617ab
```
- Remember these two values for later
Tap Done and you are finished with the App configuration.

2. Homebridge Plugin Installation:

Install homebridge using: npm i -g homebridge (For Homebridge Install: Homebridge Instructions)
Install Hubitat plugin using: npm i -g homebridge-hubitat-makerapi
Update your configuration file. See sample config.json snippet below.

Config.json Settings Example

Example of all settings. Not all settings are required. Read the breakdown below

{
   "platform": "Hubitat-MakerAPI",
   "name": "Hubitat",
   "app_url": "http://192.168.10.169/apps/api/YOUR_APPS_ID/",
   "access_token": "THIS-SHOULD-BE-YOUR-TOKEN",
   "polling_seconds": 300,
   "temperature_unit": "F",
   "mode_switches": true,
   "hsm": true,   
   "excluded_capabilities": {
       "HUBITAT-DEVICE-ID-1": [
          "Switch",
          "TemperatureMeasurement"
       ]
   },
   "excluded_attributes": {
       "HUBITAT-DEVICE-ID-1": [
          "power",
          "humidity"
       ]
   }
}

platform & name Required
This information is used by homebridge to identify the plugin and should be the settings above.
app_url & access_token Required
This is the base URL and access token for MakerAPI, check step 1 of the installation instructions on how to obtain the value Notice: The app_url in the example above may be different for you.
polling_seconds Optional
Configures the how often (in seconds) the plugin should check if devices were removed or added from/to the selection in MakerAPI. Default is every 300 seconds. Almost no need to restart homebridge anymore! Name changes and changing a device driver still requires a restart.
excluded_capabilities Optional
Defaults to None
Specify the Hubitat device by ID and the associated capabilities you want the plugin to ignore
This prevents a Hubitat device from creating unwanted or redundant HomeKit accessories
excluded_attributes Optional
Defaults to None
Specify the Hubitat device by ID and the associated attributes you want homebridge-hubitat-makerapi to ignore. This prevents a Hubitat device from creating unwanted or redundant HomeKit accessories
temperature_unit Optional
Default to F
Ability to configure between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Possible values: "F" or "C"
mode_switches Optional
Default to false
Create switches for modes and ability to switch modes by enabling such switches Possible values: true or false
Requires HE fimrware 2.0.9 or newer
hsm Optional
Default to false
Integrates HSM into Home app and allow to arm/disarm the hsm and receive notifications on intrusions
Requires HE firmware 2.0.9 or newer

Capability Filtering

The homebridge-hubitat-makerapi creates Homekit devices based on the attributes of devices. See *** Attribute Filtering *** below. To allow backwards compatibilty to tonesto7's plugin, the homebridge-hubitat-makerapi plugin still allows filtering by capability. Capabilities are going to be matched to Hubitat's listed capabilities at Driver Capability List and the associated attributes are going to be removed.

Attribute Filtering

The homebridge-hubitat-makerapi creates Homekit devices based on the attributes of devices. The following attributes are currently being handled:

Attribute	HomeKit Devices
thermostatOperatingState	Thermostat
switch and (level or hue or saturation)	Light Bulb
switch	Switch
motion	Motion Sensor
presence	Occupancy Sensor
lock	Lock Mechanism
temperature (and not a thermostat)	Temperature Sensor
contact	Contact Sensor
door	Garage Door Opener
smoke	Smoke Sensor
carbonMonoxide	Carbon Monoxide Sensor
carbonDioxideMeasurement	Carbon Dioxide Sensor
water	Leak Sensor
humidity	Humidity Sensor
illuminance	Light Sensor
battery	Battery Service
position	Window Covering
speed	Fan Controller
valve	Valve

The homebridge-hubitat-makerapi plugin does not discriminate! The plugin will create multiple devices in Homekit if a device has multiple of these attributes. Let's take a window shade as an example. A window shade might have the attributes "switch" and "position" and would create two Homekit devices, one as a switch and one as window covering. This might not be the desired behavior and you might want to only have one Homekit devices that sets the position of the shade. The plugin allows you to filter out the "switch" attribute and won't create a Homekit device for that attribute. To do so, you would add the following configuration to your config.json:


   "excluded_attributes": {
       "HUBITAT-DEVICE-ID": [
          "switch"
       ]
   }
