Homebridge Glances plugin

This Homebridge plugin platform exposes the temperature sensors, cpu load and memory load from Glances Monitoring Tool as accessoires to homebridge.

Installation

npm install -g homebridge-glances

You need to install Glances on your target system and start it in server mode, which is done via the paramater -w. Start the Glances server with your own configuration. See -> Configuration Docs. You can also put aliases to you sensors there, so on default they have generic names like 'it3451' etc. Following Plugins are supported:

• sensors -> Temperature data
• cpu -> Cpu load
• mem -> Memory load

Annotation : The cpu loads and memory loads are exposed as HumidityService, because the loads are in percent value, the HumidityService.CurrentRelativeHumidity characteristic was the best option for that.

Example:

[sensors]
#enable it
disable=False 
#alias for 'it3451'
it3451_alias=CoreTemp1

[cpu]
#enable it
disable=False 
[...]

[mem]
#enable it
disable=False 
[...]

Homebridge configuration

To enable the platform in homebridge add the following to the config:

platforms:
[
	{
		"name":  "Glances",

	}
]

following parameters are defined:
