This module provides control over smart home accessories registered with a local HOOBS instance. HOOBS is based on Homebridge. Homebridge is a lightweight NodeJS server that emulates the iOS HomeKit API. Homebridge allows you to integrate with smart home devices that do not support the HomeKit protocol.
While you can use an existing HOOBS user to configure companion-module-hoobs-api, we suggest creating a new user for exclusive use with this module with the mininum permissions possible.
The HOOBS user used with this module DOES NOT require terminal access.
To configure this module you will need:
- The hostname of your HOOBS instance (usually
hoobs.local) - The TCP port of your HOOBS instance (usuall 80)
- A set of credentials (username and password) to access your HOOBS instance.
The module supports and has been tested with the latest HOOBS version.
