Hi,

Do you have an example config for this yet? Been waiting for the AirTouch 3 plugin for years now!

Thanks!

L0rdCha0s commented 3 years ago

Ah - yes indeed! Apologies - will also add to the README.md.

Basically, first you need to install the airtouch-API bridge: here

Then, config for the homebridge plugin just points at that:

{
            "accessory": "homebridge-airtouch3-airconditioner",
            "name": "homebridge-airtouch3-airconditioner",
            "apiRoot": "http://<vzduch-ip>:35353"
}

That's fantastic news!! I'll give it a shot when I get home.. huge thanks!

Give me a bell if you run into problems - but I've found it to be pretty reliable.

You'll need to run up a docker instance for the vzduch-dotek API - but the developer on that library has done an awesome job.

Well it turns out this is a little over my head... I'm yet to build a docker instance (so far have just leveraged other pre-built images utilizing the docker station in my QNAP). Any tips on where to begin? I've had a decent read through my googling results but I might know less now that before I started!

Apologies... I know this is way outside of what your "Issues" cover!

Hi there!

Docker is one of those things that just 'clicks' after playing with it for a while - happy to help you get started! Are you comfortable on the command line on your QNAP?
