This plugin offers you a motion sensor that can be triggerd via an HTTP request. This can be used in conjunction with an ESP8266 for instance or an Arduino with an ethernet shield. I will add an example Arduino script in the future.
Run the following command
npm install -g homebridge-http-motion-sensor
Chances are you are going to need sudo with that.
This is an example configuration
"accessories" : [
{
"accessory": "http-motion-sensor",
"name": "Hallway Motion Sensor",
"port": 18089,
"serial" : "E642011E3ECB",
"bind_ip" : "0.0.0.0",
"repeater" : [
{
"host" : "192.168.2.11",
"port" : "22322",
"path" : "/turnonscreentilltimeout",
"auth" : "username:password"
}
]
}
]
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| accessory | Required. Has to be "http-motion-sensor" |
| name | Required. The name of this accessory. This will appear in your homekit app |
| port | Required. The port that you want this plugin to listen on. Choose a number above 1024. |
| serial | Optional. Assigns a serial number. Not really required but I would advise in making up some arbitrary string. |
| repeater | Optional. Whenever the http server setup by this plugin is hit, it will also make a request to each entry in this array. I am using it to turn on a screen in my hallway. See this for further information. |
| bind_ip | Optional. If you know what this is, you'll know what to do with it. |
