Use Plugin to expose further BSB IDs in Homebridge

[brandungskieker]

I very like this plugin! My thermostat provides some interesting sensor informations that I would like to expose as fields/sensors in Homebridge, like

• current temperature outside (BSB ID 8700)
• current temperature of solar panels (BSB ID 8510)
• state of solar panel pump (BSB ID 8499)
• solar state (BSB ID 8007)

Would be great if I could add further BSB IDs to expose them to Homebridge/Homekit!

Hi, thank you! For this you can use the Plugin "Homebridge Http Advanced Accessory" https://github.com/staromeste/homebridge-http-advanced-accessory#readme

The BSB has a json API wich you can call like this "http://BSB_IP/JQ= 8700"

And here is an example config:

      {
        "accessory": "HttpAdvancedAccessory",
        "service": "TemperatureSensor",
        "name": "TEST",
        "forceRefreshDelay": 150,
        "debug": false,
        "urls": {
            "getCurrentTemperature": {
                "url": "http://192.168.1.132/h7zTag615Gafha9/JQ=8700",
                "mappers": [
                    {
                        "type": "jpath",
                        "parameters": {
                            "jpath": "$.8700.value"
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        },
        "plugin_map": {
            "plugin_name": "homebridge-http-advanced-accessory",
            "index": 0
        }
    }

But don't forget to change the refresh rates to different values. The BSB cannot process several requests at the same time!!!
