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 🙏

Homebridge Plugin for moisture sensors with HumiditySensor Characteristics

Readme

homebridge-http-moisture-sensor

This plugin is a fork of homebridge-http-humidity-sensor.

  • Characteristic.CurrentRelativeHumidity
  • Characteristic.StatusLowBattery

What is this fork doing?

Often humidity or moisture sensors are placed outside in the garden and are battery powered. In this case, battery capacity is important. To minimize the battery consumption the sensor should wake up, measure, send data and go back into deep sleep mode. This fork support that behavior by using the functionality of the homebridge-http-notification-server, add the "StatusLowBattery" characteristic and caching the received data. This prevent unintentionally device wake ups and save battery capacity. The sensor itself (ex. triggered by the device RTC) decided, when data should be sent. If the plugin starts at first or been reset, the CurrentRelativeHumidity is 0 and StatusLowBattery is 1 (see HAP Specification HumiditySensor). Send the sensor data, the values will be overwritten immediately and cached until the next data will be received.

Installation

  1. Install homebridge by using: npm install -g homebridge
  2. Install the notification server by using: npm install -g homebridge-http-notification-server
  3. Prepare the homebridge config script to let the notification server work properly homebridge-http-notification-server
  4. Install the moisture plugin by using: npm install -g homebridge-http-moisture-sensor
  5. Configure the homebridge config script parameter for the moisture sensors
  6. Prepare the sensor to send correct json data (see homebridge-http-notification-server)

Example config.json

{
    "accessories": [
        {
          "accessory": "HTTP-MOISTURE",
          "name": "Moisture Sensor",
          "notificationID": "my-moisture-sensor",
          "notificationPassword": "superSecretPassword",
          "getUrl": "http://192.168.0.xxx/",
          "Humidity_MinValue": 0,
          "Humidity_MaxValue": 100

        }   
           ]
 }
  • accessory (mandatory) "HTTP-MOISTURE" (type: string)
  • name | (mandatory) It will appear in the Home app (type: string)
  • password (optional) if you use secure communication to your device (type: string)
  • notificationID (mandatory) Identifier to use the notification server (type: string)
  • getUrl (mandatory) your sensor
  • Humidity_MinValue and Humidity_MaxValue(optional) Homekit expect 0 an 100 for these values. There are many different sensor types, with different value ranges, on the market. Additionally, the chemically characteristic of the measured substance (ex. soil) is different. You can play with these parameters. Without these parameters, 0 and 100 are set as default value.
