Homebridge Teleruptor

Controls channel relays with a Raspberry Pi using HomeKit and creates behaviour of a push button to control lights.

Hardware

The hardware used.

1. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
2. Multi channel relay board connected to GPIO pins
3. opto-couplers used to detect on/off state of lights

The raspberry pi can then control the state of the lights. Normal push buttons are still usable.

Installation

1. Install homebridge using: sudo npm install --unsafe-perm -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin using: sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-teleruptot
3. Update your configuration file. See config-sample.json in this repository for a sample.
