Add support for IR devices

[DaronLord]

I am interested in using you plugin. Do you have an example config.json file. I currently don't see where I specify the IR Code for the itach module. Thanks in advance.

@DaronLord, I just added a readme with a config example. I'm currently only supporting contact closures, but I have an IR device on order that will be here Tuesday. I should have IR support within a few days of receiving the device.

Thank you Dustin. I have 3 of these devices and using Siri/HomeKit would be awesome.

@DaronLord , I've included IR support and added the example configuration to the readme. This has also been published in 0.1.1. There's also an option for enabling learn logging (point a remote at the back of the iTach and watch the codes being sent in the homebridge logs). Give it a go and let me know if you have issues.

Hello Dustin,

Sorry for the delay in responding. The plugin works great. I have a quick question. I was able to successfully set up one Itachi Device without issue. When I try to setup a second device it fails. How would I set up 3 separate devices with 3 ports. Home bridge complains that you cannot setup multiple accessories with the same UUID. Do I need to add an entry for each physical device under [platforms] or [devices] under the Itachi [devices] section. I tried it both ways and it fails. I will include the config.son in a separate post.

Here is the exact error:

Did you ever find a solution for that?

Are RS232 devices supported with this plugin or are there plans to support it?
