[Help needed]: Getting data from Apple Home #543

Closed DangersTR closed 4 months ago

DangersTR commented 5 months ago

Your Current NRCHKB Plugin Version

1.6.0

Operating System

Windows 10

How can we help?

Hello. I want to receive information from devices added to Apple Home to node-red. I can turn on and off lamps or sockets by creating automation in Apple Home with the objects we created virtually via Node-red. But is it possible to get the information from a temperature sensor to node-red?

Any more details?

I use that function in node-red.

Any code or functions to add?

No response

Homebridge-automation exposes homebridge ( open source HomeKit ) devices to node-red, and the homebridge plugin HomeKit-control exposes native HomeKit devices to homebridge.

so with that combination that is one approach to what you are trying to achieve.

@NorthernMan54 I believe he is asking about native devices.

@DangersTR adding native devices is very complex as far as I know. I do not have any instructions ready to share.

@Shaquu Have you tried this plugin ? https://github.com/minamoanes/homebridge-homekit-control

I have used it to pull HomeKit native devices into my Alexa plugin. As that works, it should also allow native devices into node-red, via homebridge-automation. Never tried it though.
