homebridge-accessory-neurio

A neur.io accessory plugin for Homebridge.

Installation

Run these commands:

% sudo npm install -g homebridge
% sudo npm install -g homebridge-accessory-neurio

On Linux, you might see this output for the second command:

npm ERR! pcap@2.0.0 install: node-gyp rebuild
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!

If so, please try

% apt-get install libpcap-dev

and try

% sudo npm install -g homebridge-accessory-neurio

again!

NB: If you install homebridge like this:

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge

Then all subsequent installations must be like this:

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-accessory-neurio

Configuration

Edit ~/.homebridge/config.json, inside "accessories": [ ... ] add:

{ "accessory" : "neurio"
, "name"      : "Home Energy Monitor"
, "location"  : "a.b.c.d"

// optional, here are the defaults
, "options"   : { "ttl": 600, "verboseP" : false }

// also optional, supply either both or neither
, "username"  : "Aladdin"
, "password"  : "OpenSesame"
}

How can you determine the IP address ("a.b.c.d")? Run homespun-discovery, of course.
