Like this for example: https://github.com/matthijs2704/homebridge-thinkingcleaner/blob/master/index.js
Downside is, this would never be possible as a homey app. You need to add or remove plugins and the config.
Wouldn't mind helping you with homebridge tho, you can find the working (modified) hap-nodejs module on my github. I think you should create an empty app using the CLI, install homebridge. Replace the modules i have build with the ones homebridge installs. Install some plugins, edit the configs and start homebridge from the onInit() in the app.js
This version uses hap-nodejs that runs more stable then the previous has-node.
The settings page is going to change as well. Instead of selecting the devices you want to add, you can exclude devices. This means that when you add a new device to homey, it shows in homekit without any user input.
For now it just adds all available devices.
Thijs
For now i only got locks and lights working. Still having some issues on adding and removing devices. It takes around 5 min to show or to remove them from homekit.
I want to add other capabilities first before releasing it as beta.
What can do is add you to the alpha releases. Just PM me your emailadres that you use for the appstore.
I only have a problem using homekit through Siri. Somebody know this is an IOS11 problem??
Whats not working with Siri then? There is an issue with the doorlock, but other then that lights should work flawless.
So note to all beta users: You might need to setup homekit from the ground up after its published
Current capabilities:
Any way to fix this without starting from scratch?
Nope sorry, you need to re-pair homey again. (ofcourse remove it from homekit first).
But the current used hap-nodejs runs more stable in my experience so its worth it
Thinking about it: It might even be saver to completely uninstall homeykit first.
Not possible anymore to add the devices you want in the settings??
Nope settings are removed for now. Will try to add them again soon, but they will be a bit different.
Homekit now adds every device but you can exclude certain devices or zones.
So when you add a new device to homey it gets added to homekit automagically
updated it to stable.. was kinda sure it shouldn’t give any issues anymore. Plus most users would benefit from the more capabilities and stability.
How can i remove the double Hue devices that were added by Homey?
For the rest everything works perfect after the update, great app!
For now you can't yet. Need to finish the new settings page first. I'd suggest you create a room in the Home app called unused or something and put them there.
Then once the new settings page is done you can exclude them from pairing.
Thanks again and keep up the good work
For me the way it worked before, manually selecting the devices to add to homekit, is the preferred method.
Is it possible to introduce a toggle for auto/manual import? For certain situations it's a better way to do it, for example the in the situation @Martin_vd_Aart describes above.
To be honest i really thought this trough.
In the above described situation its about a few lights that needs to be excluded, to exclude (for example) 4 lights is less work then including 20 devices. Excluding can be done per zone or per device.
New devices that get added to Homey (if not in an excluded zone) will get added to homekit as well. Without any extra user input.
The only situation where this might not be the best solution is if someone just wants to pair 4 lights from Homey with homekit and exclude 60 other devices. But still then you can exclude every zone except the one where the lights are in and exclude the other devices in that zone so only the lights are left.
