Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

homebridge-http-doorbell-v3

Easily add one or many simple button-only doorbells to your home with this http doorbell plugin.

Configuration

  • platform must be set to "http-doorbell-v3" for this plugin to be active.
  • port sets the port for the http server to listen on. (optional, default 9090)
  • doorbells[] an array of doorbell configurations.

doorbells[]

  • name sets the doorbell name displayed in the Home app.
  • id sets the id of a doorbell.
    • Must be unique.
    • Only letters a-z and numbers 0-9 are allowed.
    • Is case sensitive.
  • debounce sets the minimum number of seconds between button clicks.
  • manufacturer sets the manufacturer name in the Home app (optional).
  • model sets the model name in the Home app (optional).
  • serialNumber sets the serial number name in the Home app (optional).

How to trigger

The plugin will expose an endpoint that is equal to:

http://<homebridge_server_ip>:<plugin_port>/<doorbell_id>

Just make a GET request to this url and the doorbell should trigger. Remember that the doorbell id is case sensitive.

If the http request succeeds you'll get the following response with a status code of 200:

{
  "success": true
}

The endpoint will continue to respond with success, even though an event is not triggered due to debouncing.

If you try to access an unspecified doorbell id, you'll get this response with a status code of 404:

{
  "success": false
}

Example configuration

{
  "platforms": [
    {
      "platform": "http-doorbell-v3",
      "port": 9091,
      "doorbells": [
        {
          "name": "Front door",
          "id": "door",
          "debounce": 5,
          "manufacturer": "Doorbell Inc.",
          "model": "Doorbell 2000",
          "serialNumber": "XYZ123"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Drawbacks

Listed as not supported

  • As of 2021 this accessory will be listed as Not supported in the Home app. It will however work as intended and give you doorbell notifications when triggered.

  • Due to a limitation/bug(?) in how event triggers are handled, there might be a case where no notification is sent. This is really rare and will only occur if the following happens:

  1. Homebridge is restarted.
  2. Doorbell is triggered only once.
  3. Homebridge is restarted again.
  4. First doorbell trigger will not result in a notification.

For any other usage patterns, there are no problems with Homebridge restarts.

This is a complete class-based re-write of already existing plugins and could be used as a replacement. These plugins are:
