MiHome Gateway Platform Plugin

verified-by-homebridge

Energenie MiHome gateway plugin for Homebridge.

Installation

  1. Install Homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
  2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-mihomegateway
  3. Update your configuration file. See the sample below.

Updating

  • npm update -g homebridge-mihomegateway

Configuration

Currently, the setup is a bit convoluted - sorry about that!

This will all be automated in upcoming releases but for now a bit of manual work is required.

Sample Configuration

"platforms": [{
    "name": "MiHome Gateway",
    "platform": "MiHomeGateway",
    "username": "",
    "password": ""
}]
  • name - a friendly label for the MiHome gateway
  • platform - must be set to MiHomeGateway
  • username - call the register user service to create a new api user
  • password - the password you used to register with (your password is only used for one initial authentication call - subsequent calls will use the api key obtained during authentication)
  • token - [optional] the api key token obtained during authentication
  • baseUrl - [optional] an override for the MiHome API URL

TODO

  • Add additional device types (currently only supports light switches)
  • Automate registration
