homebridge-hydroponic (myLumii)

A homebridge plugin to interact with a myLumii light (for hydroponics) over the local LAN.

Originally, I tried using the various existing Tuya platform plugins, however, I found them to be unresponsive with the Home app and generally incompatible with my device. Additionally, I did not wish to use any that used Tuya's web API, as I intended to firewall this device from the internet. Therefore, I built my own.

This does not necessarily need to be a platform, however, I engineered it with this architecture in mind for extensibility.

Installation

Install this plugin using npm i -g homebridge-hydroponic.

Update the config.json file of your Homebridge setup, by modifying the sample configuration below. Use TuyaAPI/cli to link devices and get the ID/key.

Updating

Update to the latest release of this plugin using npm i -g homebridge-hydroponic.

Configurations

Add the following to the Homebridge config.json:

{
    ...
    "platforms": [
        ...
        {
            "platform": "Hydroponic",
	        "name": "Hydroponic Lamp",
            "id": "your-id-here",
            "key": "your-key-here"
        }
        ...
    ]
    ...
}

Parameters

• name is whatever you'd like the device to show as in the Home app.
• id and key are special tokens for your device. You can find them by linking with TuyaAPI/cli

A lot of this is dependent upon the amazing work in TuyAPI.
