homebridge-wiser

homebridge-wiser is a plug-in for Homebridge that adds support for the original Clipsal C-Bus Wiser and the Clipsal Wiser 2. This is a fork of version 2.0 of the plugin from Paul Wilkinson.

Accessories are automatically discovered from the Wiser project. To add additional accessories, add them to your Wiser project and restart homebridge.

Installation

You can install the plug-in using npm:

sudo npm install -g @prasad-edlabadkar/homebridge-wiser

Additional Features

On top of features supported by the base plugin, following features are added.

• Support for IR controlled AC connected with Wiser 2.
• Support for 3 coloured lights that change color when switched off and on quickly.
• Ability to override device type in configuration depending on what is connected to your Wiser product.
• Light bulb will show sliding control only if it's connected to a dimmer.

Configuration

Homebridge Configuration UI

You can configure the plugin using Homebridge configuration UI which will guide you on all aspects.

Manually configuring config.json

homebridge-wiser is added as a platform in your config.json:

"platforms": [
  {
  "platform": "homebridge-wiser",
  "name": "Wiser",
  "wiserAddress": "1.2.3.4",
  "wiserUsername": "admin",
  "wiserPassword": "yourpassword",
  "wiserPort": "8888",
  "ignoredGAs": [{
                    "network": 254,
                    "ga": 4
                },
                {
                    "network": 254,
                    "ga": 5
                }],
  "deviceTypes": [{
                    "name": "My light",
                    "type": "threeColorLight",
                    "defaultColor": "cool_white",
                    "secondColor": "warm_white",
                    "thirdColor": "day_white"
                },
                {
                    "name": "Guest Fan",
                    "type": "fan"
                },
                {
                    "name": "Dining On Off",
                    "type": "ac"
                }]
    }
]

The ignoredGAs section is optional. If a group address is listed in this section, an accessory will not be created even if it is found in your Wiser project.

The deviceType section is optional. The plugin will use device type of each C-bus device connected for creating a homekit device.

After adding the platform, simply restart homebridge and your C-Bus groups will be added as new accessories automatically.

Note: wiserPort is not the web server port on your wiser (80). Unless you have changed your Wiser from the default settings, 8888 is the correct value.
