homebridge-http-rgb-bulb

Supports HTTP/HTTPS devices on Homebridge Platform. This plugin requires/uses a simple interface with the enpoint (only a set color URI and a get color URI). I decided to create my own RGB plugin after try to use homebridge-better-http-rgb and homebridge-http-rgb without good results due to the complex interfaces and concurrency problems/bugs.

Installation

1. Follow the instruction in homebridge for the homebridge server installation.

2. The plugin is published through NPM and should be installed "globally" by typing: npm install -g homebridge-http-rgb-bulb

3. Update your configuration file. See config-sample.json in this repository for a sample.

Configuration

Example:

{
  "accessory": "HttpRGB",
  "name": "RGB Bulb",
  "set_url": "http://192.168.1.100/rgb?color=0x%s",
  "get_url": "http://192.168.1.100/rgb?format=hex",
  "http_method": "GET"
}

The mandatory options are:

• name Accessory name.
• set_url Endpoint to call with the requested color. The module replaces the '%s' characters with the hexadecimal code value.
• get_url Endpoint to request the current state. The response must be plain text with the hexadecimal color code (without any simbol like '0x' or '#' at the begining).

The other available options are:

• manufacter Manufacter name to be displayed.
• model Model name to be displayed.
• serial Serial number to be displayed.
• http_method Http metod that will be used to call the url when the state is requested. Default is 'GET' (check request module to get the available options).
• timeout Miliseconds to wait for the accessory response before send an error. Default is '5000 ms'.
