homebridge-magichome2

A Homebridge plugin for devices running on the Magic Home Wi-Fi system.

The plugin includes and uses a slightly modified version of flux_led.py.

This plugin is forked from the original homebridge-magichome plugin. It includes changes to allow the use of RGB strip controllers in single channel mode by utilizing the blue channel to control brighness only.

Installation

First, install the plugin globally.

npm install -g homebridge-magichome2

Next, add a new accessory to your Homebridge config.json. You can add as many Magic Home-based accessories as you like in the following format:

"accessories": [
   {
       "accessory": "MagicHome",
       "name": "LED Strip",
       "ip": "192.168.1.111",
       "setup": "RGBWW",
       "purewhite": false,
       "singleChannel": false
   }
]

The setup option is RGBW by default which is likely the setting you'll want. Some devices require RGBWW or RGB to work correctly.

The purewhite option should be included for lights with a dedicated white LED. This is likely only the case for bulbs and is therefore set to false by default.

The singleChannel option can be used for RGB strip devices connected to single color LED strip. Use the Blue channel to connect your strip.
