Hi cflurin, sorry here are the Details:
{"name":"Doorbell","service":"MotionSensor"}
After my Doorbell rings, it send a message to homebridge/to/set -> {"name":"Doorbell","characteristic":"MotionDetected","value":true}
to trigger the MotionDetected in Homekit. Every time my Doorbell rings I receive a notification from Homekit with an Image from my IP-Camera (same 'room').
But I don't receive a message at homebridge/from/set
when my Doorbell rings.

I suppose the doorbell device sends the messages directly to homebridge-mqtt.
Where are you expecting homebridge/from/set
? in your doorbell device or e.g. node-red?
Anyway the Characteristic.MotionDetected
has only a READ perm (no WRITE), therefore there is no set function.
/**
* Characteristic "Motion Detected"
*/
Characteristic.MotionDetected = function() {
Characteristic.call(this, 'Motion Detected', '00000022-0000-1000-8000-0026BB765291');
this.setProps({
format: Characteristic.Formats.BOOL,
perms: [Characteristic.Perms.READ, Characteristic.Perms.NOTIFY]
});
this.value = this.getDefaultValue();
};
That's correct my doorbell sends the message directly to homebridge-mqtt ->homebridge/to/set
.
I'm expecting this in node-red to trigger other actions outside from HomeKit.
For example:
Ok, I understand. As a workaround I could have my Doorbell send two commands, one to homebridge/to/set
and the other one to another topic.
Thanks, Marcel
I also use node-red, all my devices are connected to node-red using different protocols. When I need to send values to HomeKit I sends the messages from node-red.
Hi, if my MotionSensor triggers MotionDetected I don't receive a message on topic homebridge/from/set. How can I fix this?
Thanks, Marcel
