HomeScript VS Bento

I was looking for a way to do this in Homebridge, maybe some sort of scripting replacement for HomeKit automations. I'm sure I can cobble something together using HomeScript and/or homebridge-script2 but I didn't know if there was a more direct solution to move busywork automations off HomeKit and into Homebridge.

I can solve for Step 2. by sending a python based requests data over to homebridge (using the port and pin values in homebridge config). I got the idea from this [HomeScript github]([https://github.com/menahishayan/HomeScript/blob/master/homescript/\_\_init\_\_.py#L147), Python requests code section in HomeScript

My take was that he's using the dimmer ONLY for the shades, just as a sensible way to control them physically. As to a solution, look at: https://github.com/menahishayan/HomeScript

Then tried to install 'Bento' startpage (not a startpage user, so a first here)... decided to go for what looked like the simpler option and install 'Bento' as a 'New Tab Page' using author's recommended 'Custom New Tab Page' extension... from which point the 'howto' instructions are slim to nonexistent... and although tried several different options... no joy... no 'Bento' startpage could be made to appear... sigh. :(

There are generally 3 types of start pages ones that have add-ons, simple html sites ("demos") and self hosted start pages. Installing the add ons should be simple and can be applied to both your homepage/new tab.

I'm just gonna assume that you are referring to migueravila/Bento's repo. Best tip for working with any Github Project is to thoroughly read through the README.md file. Reading through it we can find the Buttons & Links Section. There they specify to change the config.js of which there is only one in the repo. This file seems to have all the configuration settings we can possibly change. Things like your name, the background image, and greetings. But once you come across the firstButtonsContainer object this seems to store all links for your shortcuts. Here you should be able to modify the name, icon and link to show what you'd like. You will of course need to do this on whatever local repo you are using to serve your webpage.

Hey r/SideProject ! Project Link Bento is a self hosted Startpage fully customizable following a minimalist design and with focus in usability. I'm pretty happy to post this project here for the first time! Hope you all like it!

Miguel's Bento seemed to be the best fit for me after trying a few different startpages. I added a list that shows the most recent free games from r/FreeGameFindings and converted the bottom buttons to a listing.

Nah it's good, this one has a startpage made for it as well
