Hi,

The plugin is already under "heavy" development. :) I hope I will finish it soon. Stay tuned! :)

The reason why I work on my own version instead of use https://github.com/rainlake/homebridge-platform-rcswitch is I need configuration of more RF433 buttons together with a logic.

Anyway thank you for your support! :)

This is for control or rf devices or receiver? I'm looking homebridge for receiver rf transmission. I have rf wireless door and windows sensors and I want HomeKit give notifications when the sensor is activated.

This plugin is receiver only. It will be able to handle multiple buttons (rf codes) at once. Now it's using Switch service type (after iOS 10.3 release it will use ProgramableSwitch). For your case I would fork this plugin and use ContactSensor service type (it has great icon in Homekit 😄 )

Contactsensor need a lot cable to run to the house. I try to install this but I don't know how. https://github.com/mattnewham/homebridge-RFReceiver Usually I do Sudo npm install -g homebridge-........, but this not working for RFReceiver. I contacted the developer but no response.

You know how install from github to the homebridge?

topas commented 7 years ago

npm install -g homebridge-plugin-name works only if the plugin is published to NPM. You can clone git repository to a directory somewhere on you RPI, then run npm install there to install local modules and then run homebridge -D -P /path/to/the/plugin as described here https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge in Plugin development section. And don't forget to configure it in homebridge's config.json.

Sorry, this project is no longer being maintained. I don't have time for it. I'll keep this repo for inspiration.
