Missing support for GDC

[TimE90]

Hey,

thanks for this great homebridge plugin 👍

Could you please add support for Aeon Garage Door Controller. It's type of com.fibaro.barrier.

Open, Close, Status. So we can use: "Hey Siri, is the garage door open?" or "Hey Siri, please open the garage door".

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards Tim

In order to add support to a new device you must implement additional code into the plugin.

[Andreasjohansen]

What additional code has to be implemented to the plugin? Would love to open the garage door with Siri:)

[ilcato]

Not a lot, but without a real device to test it's difficult to code.

[Andreasjohansen]

Could you give it a go?

[ilcato]

Are you able to support me? Do you have the device?

[Andreasjohansen]

I have the device Yes, but dont know a lot about coding. As long as you will guide me in helping you it will be ok😊

[ilcato]

Let start this way:

• go to http://YOUR_HOMECENTER_IP/docs/#!/devices/getDevice
• insert the GDC ID in the field
• send me the response

[Andreasjohansen]

sorry, it was the hidden ID of the device you got first..

[ilcato]

Thankyou @Andreasjohansen. Can you also send me a screenshot of the UI of Fibaro Home Center corresponding to the device?

[Andreasjohansen]

[Andreasjohansen]

Like that? Or am I just stupid..?

[ilcato]

Perfect. I will try a first draft tomorrow.

[Andreasjohansen]

Awesome:)

[ilcato]

@Andreasjohansen, I just committed on Github a first draft of the plugin with a support for GDC status (not yet the actions). Are you able to test it with your device?

[Andreasjohansen]

Later today when i come home from work :)

[ilcato]

Ok, just added also the actions part. Give me a feedback later.

[ilcato]

@TimE90 are you also able to test it?

[TimE90]

Yes, will try it now… Thanks in advance!

[TimE90]

pi@raspberrypi:/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-fibaro-hc2 $ npm ls
homebridge-fibaro-hc2@2.0.7 /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-fibaro-hc2

But new gdc code is not visible in src/ files… updated via "npm update…"?

[ilcato]

@TimE90, you need to manually upgrade the plugin. Replace the following files from GitHub to your installation: dist/shadows.js, dist/getFunctions.js and dist/setFunctions.js and restart homebridge.

Backup the previous ones in case of malfunctioning.

[TimE90]

Yap, it just works. But (in my case) with a little exception. HomeKit says it's OPEN while garage door is CLOSED.

` getCurrentDoorState(callback, characteristic, service, IDs, properties) {

• this.returnValue(properties.state == "Closed" ? this.hapCharacteristic.TargetHeatingCoolingState.CLOSED : this.hapCharacteristic.TargetHeatingCoolingState.OPEN, callback, characteristic);
• } +`

I think this.hapCharacteristic.TargetHeatingCoolingState.CLOSED and this.hapCharacteristic.TargetHeatingCoolingState.OPEN are the wrong return values. Even if I change the function to always return CLOSED/OPEN HomeKit always shows "OPEN".

What do you think?

[TimE90]

After changing getCurrentDoorState to: getCurrentDoorState(callback, characteristic, service, IDs, properties) { this.returnValue(properties.state == "Closed" ? 1 : 0, callback, characteristic); } it just works!

And for setting change to: setTargetDoorState(value, callback, context, characteristic, service, IDs) { var action = value == 1 ? "close" : "open"; this.command(action, 0, service, IDs); }

[ilcato]

@TimE90 you are right. In the get function I used the wrong constant because of a copy paste and in the set function I didn't know the kind of values return by homekit. I just committed the changes. Can you retest ?

[TimE90]

Yap, the new constants are working! Thanks for implementation (Y)

[ilcato]

Let's wait for @Andreasjohansen test and then I will publish on pm the new version. How do you command the GDC via Siri?

[TimE90]

In German: "Hey Siri, öffne/schließe das Garagentor" In English: "Hey Siri, open/close the garage door"

[ilcato]

ok, can you also ask for the status?

[TimE90]

"Ist das Garagentor offen" / "Ist das Garagentor geschlossen"… it works fine!

[TimE90]

BTW: We use RGBW stripes in Fibaro… I think HomeKit now supports RGBW type? Could you add the W color?

[Andreasjohansen]

My homebridge crashes when I add those 3 files. what have i done wrong?

[Andreasjohansen]

Now it kind of works, but it just says closing in HomeKit, never closed. But when the door is open it says open..

[ilcato]

@TimE90, what about you? Does it say closed or closing?

[ilcato]

@Andreasjohansen , @TimE90 I just modified the dist/setFunctions.js file. Can you retest in order to verify that the closed status is reflected in the Home app?

[TimE90]

Correct status for me :)

[ilcato]

@TimE90, with or without the change I made this morning?

[Andreasjohansen]

It works for me now. Thank you so much!
