Homebridge Roberts Radio

A Homebridge plugin to control Roberts Radios (and other UNDOK/FSAPI compatible devices) via the Apple Home app.

This plugin exposes your radio as a Television accessory, allowing for power control, volume adjustment, and source switching directly from the Home app or Control Center remote.

Features

• Power Control: Turn the radio on or off.
• Source Selection: Switch between Internet Radio, Spotify, DAB, FM, Bluetooth, and more.
• Visible Volume Slider: A separate "Volume" lightbulb-style slider for easy adjustment and visibility in the Home app.
• Mute Control: Toggle mute using the volume slider's on/off switch or the accessory settings.
• Remote Control: Use the Apple TV Remote widget in Control Center to adjust volume, Play/Pause, or skip tracks.
• Device Info: Displays model name, firmware version, and IP address.

Search for homebridge-roberts-wifi-radio in the Plugins tab and click Install.

Configuration

Add the following to the platforms array in your Homebridge config.json:

{
  "platform": "RobertsRadioPlatform",
  "name": "Kitchen Radio",
  "ip": "XX.XX.XX.XX",
  "pin": "1234"
}

Parameters

• ip: (Required) The IP address of your radio.
• pin: (Optional) The UNDOK PIN for your radio (default is 1234).

Adding to the Home App

Because this plugin uses the Television service, it is published as an External Accessory. This means it will not appear automatically in the Home app after restarting Homebridge. You must add it manually:

1. Open the Home app on your iOS device.
2. Tap the + icon and select Add Accessory.
3. Tap More options... (or "I don't have a code or cannot scan").
4. Select your Roberts Radio from the list of nearby accessories.
5. Enter your Homebridge PIN (the same one used to add your main Homebridge bridge).
