This package has been forked after Julian's has disappeared from NPM Registry
Changes:
v0.6.4 : Now the eNet-Commands can update the homekit states and brightness. So, when using a hardware dimmer or switch the lightbulbs current state will be reflected. There is an issue with time delay and overlapping messages by the mobileGate: When changing the dimmer setting the mobile gate gives an update too fast and the bulb gets updated "on the way" to the desired dim setting. Not yet sure how to slow things down! Nontheless, it works with my dimmers and switches. Hopefully I didn't break anything, so please be careful.

Gira/Jung eNet plugin for homebridge: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge
This plugin can communicate with Jung/Gira Mobile Gateways and their provisioned devices. Currently, the whole setup needs to be done with the respective Jung/Gira eNet app. Then you need to get the channels for your devices. You might guess them - first used channel is 16. Or you use the sampe-gateway.js from the homebridge-enet package to read the config of your gateway.
Installation
- Install homebridge using:
npm install -g homebridge
- Install this plugin using:
npm install -g https://github.com/levlevin/homebridge-gira-enet
