homebridge-wireless-sensor-tag

ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT & SUPPORT DISCONTINUED

I am sad to announce that I am discontinuing support for this homebridge plugin. This means I will no longer be addressing any open bugs, responding to feature requests or releasing new versions. Between work and my home life there simply isn't the time. I will leave the repository online and the package on npm but that is it. As this code is licensed under the MIT license you are of course welcome to branch this code and make it your own and use it in your own projects -- but you do so, as always, with no warranty or support from me.

I want to thank everyone who helped along the way through questions and issues and code contributions -- your assistance was very much appreciated. And it made the late nights and testing worth it.

Old Readme..

If you find a good alternative and want others to know about it then open a new issue and provide a pointer. I might post a link here.

Homebridge platform for Wireless Sensor Tags. (http://wirelesstags.net/)

Polls status of the wireless tags on a configurable interval and based on data from the tags determines occupancy of those tags + current temperature in degress celcius.

Occupancy is 0 if the tag is inactive or out of range. Otherwise it is considered occupancy 1.

NOTE: Currently only supports the temperature tags. If someone wants to donate one of the other tag types happy to add them. :)

Installation

Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-wireless-sensor-tag
Update your configuration file. See sampleconfig.json in this repository for a sample.

Configuration

Configuration sample:

   "platforms": [
       {
           "platform": "wireless-sensor-tag",
           "name": "wireless-sensor-tag",         
           "username": "user@domain.com",      
           "password": "password",   
           "queryFrequency": 20000,
           "ignoreList": [ "Honda" ]
       }
   ]

Fields:

platform - Must be set to wireless-sensor-tag
name - Up to you.
username - Your wirelesstags.net username
password - Your wirelesstags.net password
queryFrequency - The amount of time, in ms, between updates. 1000 = 1000ms = 1second. Recommended value > 10000 as temperature and presence don't change that quickly anyhow.
ignoreList - The list of names of tags that should be ignored. If a tag's name is an exact match to one of the strings in this array it is ignored by this plugin.
