homebridge-ipmi

IPMI plugin for Homebridge

Uses node-ipmi, an ipmitool wrapper, to monitor server temperature and fan sensors via IPMI.

Installation

1. Install Homebridge using npm install -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin npm install -g homebridge-ipmi
3. Update your configuration file - see below for an example

Configuration

• accessory: "IPMI"
• name: descriptive name
• hostname: server hostname, or null for local
• username: server username, or null for local
• password: server password, or null for local
• identify: name of switch to toggle blinking chassis identification light, or null to disable
• temperatureSensors, fans: an object mapping IPMI sensor names, to Homebridge display names

Run ipmitool sensor to show the available sensors.

Example configuration:

    "accessories": [
        {
                "accessory": "IPMI",
                "name": "IPMI",
                "hostname": null,
                "username": null,
                "password": null,
                "temperatureSensors": {
                        "System Temp": "System",
                        "Peripheral Temp": "Peripheral"
                },
                "fans": {
                        "FAN 1": "Fan 1",
                        "FAN 2": "Fan 2",
                        "FAN 3": "Fan 3",
                        "FAN 4": "Fan 4",
                        "FAN A": "Fan A"
                },
                "identify": "Blink"
        }
    ]

This plugin creates a TemperatureSensor or Fan service for each sensor specified. Voltage monitoring, chassis intrusion detection sensors, and other functionality is not currently supported.
