Door Lock Accessory

[mmackh]

Has anyone managed to add a door lock service? Here's my attempt - but I do have an error. It also results in adding two devices.

  const char *serviceName = "InstaNFC Access Control";

  hap_initbase_accessory_service(serviceName,"company","0","IAP", "1.0");

  homekit_service_t *services[3];
  services[0] = hap_new_homekit_accessory_service(serviceName, "0");
  services[1] = hap_new_switch_service(serviceName,cb, NULL);
  services[2] = NULL;
  hap_add_accessory(homekit_accessory_category_door_lock, services);
  hap_add_service(services[1]);
  hapservice = services[1];

  lockCharacteristic = homekit_service_characteristic_by_type(hapservice, HOMEKIT_CHARACTERISTIC_ON);

  hap_init_homekit_server();

Ok, I'm a little further along now. Only one device, but it's a working switch in this case.

  init_hap_storage(pair_file_name);
  hap_setbase_accessorytype(homekit_accessory_category_door_lock);
  hap_initbase_accessory_service("host","company", productID.c_str(),"AP", "1.0");

  const char *serviceName = "Access Control";
  hapservice = hap_add_switch_service(serviceName, lockCallback, NULL);
  lockCharacteristic = homekit_service_characteristic_by_type(hapservice, HOMEKIT_CHARACTERISTIC_ON);

  hap_init_homekit_server();

Hi, Lock control is not implemented (ported) to my library. if you want to see lock as accessory on the apple you have to implement the same function (like for switch) , but using service : HOMEKIT_SERVICE_LOCK_MANAGEMENT characteristic: /** Defines a number of additional settings, rules and information on a lock mechanism inside of a accessory.

Required Characteristics:

• LOCK_CONTROL_POINT

• VERSION

  Optional Characteristics:

• NAME
• LOGS
• AUDIO_FEEDBACK
• LOCK_MANAGEMENT_AUTO_SECURITY_TIMEOUT
• ADMINISTRATOR_ONLY_ACCESS
• LOCK_LAST_KNOWN_ACTION
• CURRENT_DOOR_STATE
• MOTION_DETECTED */

Thank you for the fast response. I'm not yet sure on how to add a custom accessory type - everything is a macro so when starting off with a template like for the switch:

NEW_HOMEKIT_SERVICE(SWITCH, .primary = true,.characteristics=(homekit_characteristic_t*[]) {
                NEW_HOMEKIT_CHARACTERISTIC(NAME, szname),
                NEW_HOMEKIT_CHARACTERISTIC(
                    ON, true,
                    .callback=HOMEKIT_CHARACTERISTIC_CALLBACK(
                            cb, .context=context
                    ),
                ),
                NULL
            });

I'm not able to get it to compile. Is there a function / method I'm missing somewhere to create custom services (incl. characteristics)?

Ok, i will do that, but later , now do not have a time and energy (I'm from Kiev) You can send me your file and changes i will try to compile regards
