Example JSON config:

{
  "accessories": [
    {
      "accessory": "SonyProjector",
      "name": "Sony Projector",
      "ip": "192.168.1.101",
      "adcpPort": 53595,
      "useAuth": false,
      "timeout": 5,
      "inputs": [
        { "id": 1, "name": "Apple TV", "adcp": "hdmi1" },

}

Usage

Once added to HomeKit:
