At first I installed the plugin and then I inserted { "platform": "eq3BTSmart" } into the config.json using copy+paste. After a restart of Homebridge, I got this:

[10/19/2020, 10:40:01 AM] Error: The requested platform 'eq3BTSmart' was not registered by any plugin. at PluginManager.getPluginForPlatform (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/src/pluginManager.ts:224:15) at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/src/server.ts:387:37 at Array.forEach (<anonymous>) at Server.loadPlatforms (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/src/server.ts:374:27) at Server.start (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/src/server.ts:153:29) at cli (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/src/cli.ts:80:10) at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/bin/homebridge:17:22) at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1015:30) at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1035:10) at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:879:32)

Same here. Is there a solution?

hi, I switched to this plugin: https://github.com/maxnowack/homebridge-eq3ble Its almost working. I get the symbol for the thermostat in the home app, but i get no temperature.

Tried that, too. :-) Could not find a way to get the BLE MAC address via iOS/Mac, so I could not pair the thermostat.

Just download Xcode 11.4 with Bluetooth Explorer. Then search for all BLE products an you'll find a device named "CC-BT-CLE" or something like that. You should find the program on the apple developer site.

This is probably because bluetooth-hci-socket was not properly build (because it is not compatible with nodejs > 9). I've managed to make it work on my raspberry pi by first installing the plugin, then manually installing sudo npm install -g @abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket --unsafe-perm, then run sudo cp -R /usr/lib/node_modules/@abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket/ /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-platform-eq3btsmart/node_modules/bluetooth-hci-socket

My device was manually paired before (make sure bluetooth is enabled) and I can set temperature and manual/auto mode.

I've added a pull request that should fix this
