Homebridge Automation Replacement
3 projects | /r/homebridge | 28 Dec 2021

I have a bunch of HomeKit automations that are pretty simple but basically busywork. For example, I have to double up for on/off reactions to events. I'm using homebridge-away-mode to turn on/off some lights and I have to have both a motion-detected and no-motion-detected HomeKit automation to get it to work.

Homebridge Automation Replacement
3 projects | /r/homebridge | 28 Dec 2021

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.
Advice Needed: Read/update a device state from/on Homebridge using a different device(RPi) running in the same local network

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
Control Shades w/ Dimmer?

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
