Installation

Use the webinterface and search for homebridge-epson-powerstate, install the plugin as usual.

Example configuration

You can use a simple variant trough polling the built-in webinterface of epson projectors. Wroks with almost all models but it's a bit slow:

{
  "name": "homebridge-epson-powerstate",
  "platform": "EpsonPowerState",
  "devices": [
    {
      "name": "My Epson Projector",
      "ip": "192.168.1.99"
    }
  ]
}

When your epson projector has a built-in chromecast, you can change the configuration to this:

Just turn useChromecast to true and use "Android TV" as chromecastName. If your chrome cast has a different name, you will see it in the plugin logs.

{
  "name": "homebridge-epson-powerstate",
  "platform": "EpsonPowerState",
  "devices": [
    {
      "name": "My Epson Projector",
      "ip": "192.168.1.99",
      "useChromecast": true,
      "chromecastName": "Android TV"
    }
  ]
}

Troubleshooting Development

For any developers who want to run this - the most common error occuring when trying to run npm run watch locally will be that the config plugin is not found. I never found out the proper way to solve that, so my workaround is:

1. Add this line to the package.json in "devDependencies"

    "homebridge-config-ui-x": "^4.71.0",

2. Run npm i to install it locally, discard the changes in package.json again

3. Run npm run watch and have fun developing :-)
