Homebridge KlikAanKlikUit plugin

This is a plugin for Homebridge to allow controlling your KlikAanKlikUit devices. This plugin is meant to run on Raspberry Pi's (or boards with a similar GPIO setup), using a cheap 433Mhz transmitter (see this page for more information on how to connect the transmitter to your Raspberry Pi).

DISCLAIMER: this plugin is not in any way endorsed by, or related to, COCO International B.V. or Trust International B.V.

Installation

$ npm i robertklep/homebridge-klikaanklikuit -g

Homebridge plugins need to be installed globally, so the -g is mandatory. You may need to use sudo as well.

Configuration

First, you need a working Homebridge installation.

Once you have that working, edit ~/.homebridge/config.json and add a new platform containing accessories:

"platforms" : [{
  "platform" : "KlikAanKlikUit",
  "driver"   : {
    "type" : "rpi",
    "pin"  : 8
  },
  "accessories" : [
    {
      "name"     : "Light Kitchen",
      "type"     : "Lightbulb",
      "dimmable" : true,
      "address"  : "C",
      "device"   : "2"
    },
    {
      "name"     : "Outlet Garage",
      "type"     : "Outlet",
      "address"  : "A",
      "device"   : "1"
    },
    {
      "name"     : "LED lamp",
      "type"     : "Lightbulb",
      "dimmable" : true,
      "address"  : 1337,
      "device"   : 0
    }
  ]
}, ...]

There is only one supported driver, rpi. The pin property reflects the physical GPIO pin that the 433Mhz transmitter is connected to.

The plugin supports both old-style (configurable through a rotary switch) and new-style (self-learning) KlikAanKlikUit devices. Old-style devices are addressed using a string (A, B, ...) and a device number. New-style devices are addressed using a number, which is either the unique code of your remote, or a code that you can pick yourself. In case of the latter, you need your device to learn the new code (put it in learning mode and send the "On" command from the Home app).

Dimming is only supported for new-style devices.

Only supports Homebridge services that respond to the "On" characteristic (which are "Outlet", "Lightbulb" and "Switch"). The service for each device it set through the type property.
