Homebridge Pi-hole (off Version)

Pi-hole plugin for Homebridge

Requirements

• Homebridge - HomeKit support for the impatient
• Pi-hole - A black hole for Internet advertisements

Installation

1. Install this plugin npm install -g homebridge-piholeOff
2. Update your configuration file. See sample-config.json in this repository for a sample.

See the Pi-hole installation section for more details.

Configuration

There are four options:

• name Required. Accessory name, default is PiholeOff.
• auth Pi-hole auth token.
• host Pi-hole host, default is localhost.
• port Pi-hole port, default is 80.
• time Default Off time, you are able to change this in Homekit
• logLevel Logging level, three different levels: 0: logging disabled, 1: logs only HTTP errors, 2: logs each HTTP response. Default is set to 1.

See the sample-config.json file to see an example of how to configure the accessory. This plugin will do the same as the original homebridge-pihole. It will setup a Homekit Switch. But this switch has optional characteristics for the duration time. You are able to set this time as a default or every time you turn on the switch (and turn off pihole). Note: the duration set time and the time the switch remains off (and the pi-hole off) is only visible in the eve app. The Apple Home App will not show you this settings. But it will turn on the switch (and turn on pi-hole) as well.

How to get a Pi-hole authentication token

1. Login into your Pi-hole Admin Console.
2. Navigate to the Settings page and then to the API / Web interface tab.
3. At the bottom of the page click on the Show API Token button, a popup window will ask for confirmation, go ahead and click on Yes, show API token.
4. A new window will open showing a QR code, copy the Raw API Token below the QR code.
5. Paste your API token in the homebridge configuration file.
