homebridge-http-ipcamera-battery

Description

This homebridge plugin exposes a web-based battery status to Apple's HomeKit. Using simple HTTP requests, the plugin displays the battery status of iPCamera - High-End NetworkCam (iOS App).

I need some automation when the battery is at certain percentage, I want to switch on the iPhone charger. Too bad we can't do automation with BatteryService, but we can with TemperaturService. That is why I displayed the battery level in degress.

I modified the codes I found here. Thanks phenotypic.
