This Homebridge plugin exposes Flexom smart homes to Apple HomeKit.
Currently, this plugin supports mapping Flexom Zones (i.e. rooms) as Homekit accessories, with light and window covering controls.
This plugin relies on @rsauget/flexom-lib to interact with Flexom APIs.
The recommended way to install this plugin is through Homebridge UI.
You will find it easily by searching @rsauget/homebridge-flexom.
For other installation methods, please refer to the Homebridge documentation.
To develop Homebridge plugins you must have Node.js 14 or later installed, and a modern code editor such as VS Code. This plugin uses TypeScript to make development easier and comes with pre-configured settings for VS Code and ESLint. If you are using VS Code install these extensions:
Using a terminal, navigate to the project folder and run this command to install the development dependencies:
npm install
TypeScript needs to be compiled into JavaScript before it can run. The following command will compile the contents of your src directory and put the resulting code into the dist folder.
npm run build
Run this command so your global install of Homebridge can discover the plugin in your development environment:
npm link
You can now start Homebridge, use the -D flag so you can see debug log messages in your plugin:
homebridge -D
If you want to have your code compile automatically as you make changes, and restart Homebridge automatically between changes you can run:
npm run watch
This will launch an instance of Homebridge in debug mode which will restart every time you make a change to the source code. It will load the config stored in the default location under ~/.homebridge. You may need to stop other running instances of Homebridge while using this command to prevent conflicts. You can adjust the Homebridge startup command in the nodemon.json file.
