homebridge-http-temperature-humidity

Supports https devices on HomeBridge Platform

Installation

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

Configuration

Configuration sample file:

"accessories": [
   {
       "accessory": "HttpTemphum",
       "http_method": "GET",
       "name": "Living Room Weather",

       "manufacturer": "",
       "model": "",
       "serial": "",

       "url": "http://192.168.1.210/weather",
       "humidity": true,
   }
]

The /weather endpoint has to return a json looking like this

{
    "temperature": 25.8,
    "humidity": 38
}

This plugin acts as an interface between a web endpoint and homebridge only. You will still need some dedicated hardware to expose the web endpoints with the temperature and humidity information. In my case, I used a simple NodeMCU board and a DHT11 (or DHT22). Check my other repo for the NodeMCU code.
