homebridge-gpio-device-orpi

Change: pin init functions are not implemented. So you must init them manually. You can use crontab -e.

Homebridge GPIO device expose several HomeKit accessories interacting with GPIO

Installation

1. Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
2. Install wiringPi or wiringOP (look related website)
3. Add rights to homebridge user if running homebridge as systemd service: sudo usermod -a -G gpio homebridge
4. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-gpio-device-orpi
5. Update your configuration file. See bellow for a sample.
6. Setup pins (mode, etc.)

Wiring

Any inputs are configured with pull-up resistor and considered as active on low state. Sensors must be plug as following

GND <---> SENSOR <---> PIN

Sensors are considered as Normally Opened by default. If using Normally Closed sensor, you can use inverted or invertedInputs parameters as explained in the next section. Pull-up resistors can be disabled by adding parameter "pullUp": false in any accessory using inputs. If disabled, you'll have to wire pull-up or pull-down resistors by yourself.

Note

In the section bellow, LOW state means sensor contact closed. HIGH state means sensor contact opened. For outputs, LOW state means 0V and HIGH state means 3.3V.
