Question: HomeBridge GUI #6

Closed DaveGraham123456 closed 4 years ago

Hey Greig and all the others that contributed. This is a fantasitc little package.

Had a question, I notice it does not include the HomeBridge GUI. Should I install? or is that bad to do for this package?

It will just make editing the json file easier that's all.

Hi Dave,

Check out the "v2" branch in this repo. I'm working on finalising it NOW, with the goal of having it live before the weekend's out.

The code's complete and working well, but I'm just finetuning the doco.

Check it out now or come back tomorrow (whereby v2 should have vanished and become 'master')....

I've just merged v2 back into Master, and v2 is no longer.

I am an Infrastucture guy, so all this "Branch" stuff is a little foreign to me.

Would I need to start over? ie: download the new homebridge image etc and go again?

Hi Dave, sorry for the jargon.

To answer your question though, yes, starting afresh might be the easiest approach.

The immediately visible part of this repository (the 'master' branch) at the time you posted your question was the non-GUI version. In the background (but still visible if you knew where to look) was the 'v2' branch, which is where I was working on the GUI update. I've since 'merged' the v2 branch with master, and so the new GUI version becomes the new master.

I hope that the effort involved in starting again will be worthwhile.

If you do decide to rebuild, make sure you save your working var/lib/homebridge/config.json file, as having this will make the rebuild a little quicker, as you can easily paste the "accessories" from the existing file into the new one.

Good luck!
