homebridge-sh-switch allows you to define switch accessories for homebridge using arbitary shell commands.

Usage

You need to define commands and matchers in the configuration to interact with the shell and make the switch work.

Commands

Commands are shell scripts that are executed to reach a certain state of the switch. A new shell will be spawned for every command.

• startup: Executed once after the initialization of the switch. Can be used to prepare the environment.
• ping: Find out the current state of the switch.
• on: Turn the switch on.
• off: Turn the switch off.

Matchers

Matchers are regular expressions that are used to scan the stdout data of the shell after a command has been executed.

• on: If matches stdout, the state of the switch is considered on.
• off: If matches stdout, the state of the switch is considered off.
