homebridge-eufy

EufyHome (Anker) Plugin for Homebridge, based on node-eufy-api

🛑 Warning: Eufy firmware bug

This package does not work reliable for all devices due to a firmware bug, which means the device will, when receiving a message via your local network, simply close the connection.

There is no known workaround for this problem.

Installation

1. Install Homebridge
2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-eufy
3. Add the configuration below to your Homebridge configuration file

Configuration

Add the JSON object below to the "platforms" array in your Homebridge configuration file, usually in ~/.homebridge/config.json.

Replace the dummy email address and password with your EufyHome/Anker account details, which are required to find and connect to your devices. The optional flag showPlugsAsSwitches can be used to make the power plugs appear as switches in the Home app.

"platforms": [{
    "platform": "eufy",
    "name": "eufy",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "s3cr3t"
}]

New devices do not appear in Home app

At the moment, there is no automatic way to detect new devices when they are plugged in/enabled. To see newly added devices, please restart homebridge.

Device names in Home app

The device names in the Home app will not be updated when you change them in the EufyHome app. This is a HomeKit limitation. You can always rename your device in the Home app, though!

Troubleshooting

If you get odd issues or error messages, delete your cached data by running these commands:

• rm -rf ~/.homebridge/accessories
• rm -rf ~/.homebridge/persist

If this does not solve your problem, try other suggestions from the Homebridge documentation.
