homebridge_install_script

Just a small script which installs and configures homebridge, cmdSwitch2 and rc-switch library with 433mhz support for Rhine ceiling fan(s) and various no-name outlets.

Installation

Enter these commands on a freshly installed raspbian:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/somebodywhoisntme/homebridge_install_script/master/install_homebridge.sh

chmod +x install_homebridge.sh

./install_homebridge.sh

Follow screen instructions.

Configuration

The homebridge config.json is located at /var/homebridge/

sudo nano /var/homebridge/config.json

Syntax ceiling fan:

send [protocol number] [command] [0] [0]

The last two 0's are needed because I don't know a better way to prevent a seg-fault atm but they don't have a purpose.

Syntax outlet:

send [protocol number] [system code] [device ID] [command]

Homebridge config.json example with ceiling fan stage 1/off button and one outlet.
