First-timer for Node and Homebridge - homebridge_neato installation #25

Closed oddeonetwerx closed 5 years ago

oddeonetwerx commented 5 years ago

I'm usually fairly tech savvy, but this is my first time with node or homebridge. I have managed to get everything installed, but I'm stuck on the step where I need to find my config file. I cannot find it. Can somebody possibly help me with this stuff?

oddeonetwerx commented 5 years ago

I changed the config file name to config.json, left it in the homebridge folder and updated the file to this:

{ "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge", "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30", "port": 51826, "pin": "031-45-154" },

"description": "This is an example configuration file with one fake accessory and one fake platform. You can use this as a template for creating your own configuration file containing devices you actually own.",

"accessories": [
    {
        "accessory": "NeatoVacuumRobot",
        "name": "Neato of Love"
    }
],

"platforms": [
    {
        "platform": "NeatoVacuumRobot",
        "email": "my email",
        "password": "my password"
    }
]
]

}

I have managed to get Homebridge added to my HomeKit app, but cannot figure out how to add Neato

Seems like I might be getting closer, but still an error:

@oddeonetwerx I hope you have found a solution. Otherwise this could help, if Neato plugin is the only platform you use and have no accessories.

{
    "bridge": {
        "name": "Homebridge",
        "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
        "port": 51826,
        "pin": "031-45-154"
    },
    "accessories": [],
    "platforms": [{
        "platform": "NeatoVacuumRobot",
        "email": "YOURNEATOEMAILADRESS",
        "password": "YOURNEATOPASSWORD",
        "refresh": "60"
    }]
}

Anyway, this is not the right place for general/basic Homebridge questions and support. Your Issue does not have anything to do with the neato plugin. Please visit https://www.reddit.com/r/homebridge/ to ask the community if you are on English language and https://forum.smartapfel.de if you are on German language.

Enjoy and good luck.
