Power / Led #1

Hello, thanks for this little but really useful plugin. Is it possible that you add other features that are not available in HomeKit like power or LED on / off?

Sorry for the late reply to this, for some reason I did not receive any email about this issue.

I like the idea, and I should be able to add these switches pretty easily!

Power on/off ties in with the "privacy" idea well, but the LED not as much. In doing this I think I will rename the plugin, and think about adding even more options in the future.

Hello, great that you have answered. The idea to rename the plugin and then add new features I find really great. I'm curious.

I also like to test it .-)

I just moved the repo/package to homebridge-logi-circle-controls and published version 1.0.0, which adds the ability to control the camera's on/off switch and the LED on/off switch.

Please refer to the readme for instructions on how to set this up. Please note that the configuration has changed in multiple ways. Most importantly, it's now a platform instead of just an accessory!

Please let me know if you run into any issues 😄

Sorry for the late reply. I was on vacation .-)

Thanks again for the quick implementation of additional features. Unfortunately, I have a problem if I want to integrate two cameras in the config.

I get this error when starting the Homebridge instance:

My config is valid and looks like this:

{ "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge-logi-circle-controls", "username" : "", "port" : , "pin": "", "manufacturer": "", "model": "" },

"plugins": [ "homebridge-logi-circle-controls" ],

"accessories": [ ],

"platforms": [ { "platform": "Logi Circle Controls", "name": "Kamera Steuerung Balkon", "deviceId": "", "email": "", "password": "", "accessories": [ { "type": "privacyMode", "name": "Privatmodus" }, { "type": "streamingMode", "name": "Streammodus" }, { "type": "ledPower", "name": "Led" } ] }, {
"name": "Kamera Steuerung Garage", "deviceId": "", "email": "", "password": "", "accessories": [ { "type": "privacyMode", "name": "Privatmodus" }, { "type": "streamingMode", "name": "Streammodus" }, { "type": "ledPower", "name": "Led" } ] } ] }

Do you have an idea where the problem is?

Hope you enjoyed your vacation! 😄

It looks like the second entry in your platforms does not have a platform field, which I think Homebridge needs to have there.

Having said that, it looks like Homebridge does not support having more than 1 instance of a single platform (see here: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/issues/1736).

This plugin should be able to support controlling multiple devices though! I opened issue #3 for adding that feature. (I only have 1 camera though, so I won't be able to test it very well.)

I also tried the field Platform in my config during the test. I got the same mistake as in the issue because you have linked. So I tried it without a platform in the config. Thought that it was the right way.

If you have installed the more multipple devices support I like to test it with both cameras.

Thank you!
