homebridge-myhome-own

Why own?

Short answer: OpenWebNet. This is a fork of a great but unpublished package of simon77, forked from angeloxx which was created 4 years ago. Furthermore, on npm the homebridge-myhome package is already occupied by another inactive user for 4 years as well. In addition, links to Github are directed to a "Lockitron" stuff... So I decided to add a revealing acronym to distinguish them on npm with the ability to stay in a bramch of the original homebridge-myhome github fork.

Description

Legrand (BTicino) MyHome plugin with Elgato Eve history feature for contact, motion sensor and powermeter.

Legrand MyHome is an Home Automation solution that can manage:

• lighting (standard on/off/dimmed lights)
• thermoregulation
• curtains, doors
• security systems
• contact and motion sensors

With this plugin, the support of a IP gateway installed in your plant and a configuration of all installed systems (MyHome does not support the autodiscovery of the system) you can control it. You need to disable the OpenWebNet password-based authentication from the IP of the device that runs homebridge (ie. Raspberry) or set the auhentication to HMAC; HMAC authentication is supported by all recent IP gateways or older one with updated firmware (eg. F454 with v2 firmware).

Installation

Use Homebridge web UI or install plugin with

npm install -g homebridge-myhome-own`

Add platform within config.json of you homebridge instance:

{
    "platforms": [{
        "platform": "MyHome Gateway",
        "ipaddress": "192.168.1.1",
        "password": "12345",
        "setclock": true,
        "devices": [
                /*Static list of devices*/
            ]
        }], 
    "bridge": {
        "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:31", 
        "name": "MyHome HomeBridge Adapter", 
        "pin": "342-52-220", 
        "port": 51826
    }, 
    "description": "My Fantastic Legrand MyHome System", 
    "accessories": []
}

Restart homebridge.

Configuration

Only the platforms section of the config.json file should be edited, the pair code and the port in bridge section can be ignored in most of the cases. The first part of the config file contains details about the MyHome Gateway used to interface the IP network with the plant:

"platforms": [{
    "platform": "LegrandMyHome",
    "ipaddress": "192.168.1.35",
    "port": 20000,
    "ownpassword": "12345",
    "setclock": true,
    "devices": [{

You need to change:

• ipaddress: put the IP address or name of the MyHome Gateway (eg. F454 or MH201)
• port: should be 20000 and keep this value
• ownpassword: the OpenWebNet password, default is 12345 but everyone will suggest to you to change it with another password, but you will keep the default one, I know...
• setclock: set to true if you want your homebridge server to set the time of your gateway every hour
• devices: list of installed devices

The devices section contains the list of devices that will be managed. All devices contains three standard properties:

• accessory: the technical name of the device, should be one of the names listed in this document
• name: mnemonic name, will be displayed by iOS HomeKit application
• address: the MyHome address, usually in B/A/PL format for lights and curtaints or single/double digits for other devices. B stands for BUS (usually 0), A and PL is the name of the addressing object used by BTicino and stands for Ambient and Light Point (Punto Luce in the original italian version)

Supported devices

• MHRelay: Standard (Lighting) Relay (eg. F411), address is B/A/PL (eg. 0/1/10). This device supports the definition of a custom frame for on and off command, so you can specify frame_on and/or frame_off:

  {
  "accessory": "MHRelay",
  "name": "Bathroom Light",
  "address": "0/1/5",
  "frame_on": "*1*1*14##",
  "frame_off": "*1*0*14##"
  }

  to use a Group, CEN, CEN+ or other command to turn on and off that load, using the address load for the status monitor. Remember that HomeKit will think that the load has changed the status after the command even if is not true.

• MHDimmer: Lighting Dimmer (eg. F427, F413N), address is B/A/PL (eg. 0/1/10)

• MHThermostat: Standard Thermostat controlled by a 99-Zones Central Station (code 3550), address is the Zone Identifier (1-99)

• MHExternalThermometer: External Probe controlled by a 99-Zones Central Station (code 3550), address is the Zone Identifier (1-9)

• MHOutlet: Standard (not-Lighting) Relay, address is B/A/PL (eg. 0/1/10). See MHRelay for custom frame support

• MHBlind: Standard Automation Relay (eg. F411, I need to check the F401), address is B/A/PL (eg. 0/1/10)

  • this device defines another property called "time" that defines the configured "stop time" in seconds; using this property the driver can evaluate the current position of the blind

• MHBlindAdvanced: Advanced version of standard Blind (eg. F401 that manages internally the current position), address is B/A/PL (eg. 0/1/10)

• MHContactSensor: Dry Contact sensor (eg. 3477 or some burgalarm sensors), address range is 1-201. Supported types are "motion" and "contact". Elgato Eve history feature is supported.

• MHPowerMeter: Only supported with F421 Load Control Central, use "refresh" to set the update interval. Elgato Eve history feature is supported.

• MHAlarm: tested on central 3486. Zones for Away, Night and At Home activation are currently hard coded in plugin code. Alarm activation/deactivation from Homekit is not implemented for security reasons, so only monitor of the current status is supported

• MHTimedRelay: to issue temporized command to relays. Default duration set in "duration"

• MHControlledLoad: to control status of old generation Load Control outlets

• MHAux: to deliver AUX events to Homekit. Supported type are "leak", "gas" and contact".

• MHIrrigation: modified MHTimedRelay using the new Homekit irrigation service

See sample-config.json for the additional parameters of each accessory.
