Homebridge plugin to control blinds via Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.
I've got 16 windows with blinds in my house. Controlling them manually would be simply annoying. See how it works -> https://youtu.be/jc-fZn0_fBA
npm install -g homebridgenpm install -g homebridge-gpio-blinds~/.homebridge/config.json file (use sample-config.json as a reference)Sample accessory:
"accessories": [
{
"accessory": "Blinds",
"name": "Garage",
"pinUp": 5,
"pinDown": 11,
"durationUp": 13000,
"durationDown": 13000,
"durationOffset": 1000,
"pinClosed": 17,
"pinOpen": 18,
"activeLow": false,
"reedSwitchActiveLow": false
}
