homebridge-doorbell
is a plugin for Homebridge.
Since the API has changed doorbell service does not work without an attached camera. Please use https://github.com/Samfox2/homebridge-videodoorbell instead.
If you are new to Homebridge, please first read the Homebridge documentation. If you are running on a Raspberry, you will find a tutorial in the homebridge-punt Wiki.
1 Install homebridge:
sudo npm install -g homebridge
2 Install homebridge-doorbell:
sudo npm install -g git+https://github.com/Samfox2/homebridge-doorbell.git
3 Configure plugin:
Update your configuration file. See sample-config.json in this repository for a sample.
Add the platform in config.json
in your home directory inside .homebridge
.
{
"platform": "Doorbell",
"doorbells": [
{
"name": "Doorbell Front"
}
]
}
Currently the plugin only emulates the doorbell with the identify command. If placed in a room with a camera it sends a notification with a snapshot/stream to your ios device after pushing the "identify" button in a homekit app.
Feel free to contribute to make this a better plugin!
