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 🙏

Library for Homebridge Plugins

Copyright © 2018-2024 Erik Baauw. All rights reserved.

While developing a number of Homebridge plugins, I find myself duplicating a lot of code. The idea behind this library is to ease developing and maintaining Homebridge plugins by separating this generic code, dealing with HomeKit and Homebridge, from the specific code, dealing with the actual devices being exposed to HomeKit.

Documentation

The documentation, how to develop a plugin using Homebridge Lib, is provided in the code and through tutorials in the doc directory. To generate the documentation, install jsdoc and run jsdoc -c jsdoc.json. To view the documentation, open index.html in the out directory.

See Homebridge WS for an example plugin based on Homebridge Lib.

Command-Line Tools

The Homebridge Lib library comes with a number of command-line tools for troubleshooting Homebridge installations.

Tool | Description --------- | ----------- hap | Logger for HomeKit accessory announcements. json | JSON formatter. sysinfo | Print hardware and operating system information. upnp | UPnP tool.

Each command-line tool takes a -h or --help argument to provide a brief overview of its functionality and command-line arguments.

Installation

This library is not a Homebridge plugin and does not need to be installed manually. Instead, Homebridge plugins using this library should list it as a dependency in their package.json. This way, npm installs Homebridge Lib automatically when installing the actual plugin.

To install the command-line tools, use:

$ sudo npm -g i hb-lib-tools

This creates symlinks to these tools in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin (depending on how you installed NodeJS).

Caveats

Homebridge Lib is a hobby project of mine, provided as-is, with no warranty whatsoever. I've been running it successfully at my home for years, but your mileage might vary.
