homebridge-config-ui-x VS homebridge-schedule

There is already a report https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x/issues/1912

I can't even search for plugins without getting a similar timeout error. I've tried everything in the Troubleshooting page, and the only thing that works at all is disabling ipv6 on my Eero Pro 6e network, which seems like a less desirable option. The Pro 6e doesn't have Homekit security features, and I don't have advanced security turned on. I've tried disabling ipv6 on the RPi and in Homebridge, but I'm only following random posts I find online, so I'm not even sure if I did that correctly. Sometimes I make a change and can no longer get into Homebridge through the portal, then I have to reinstall.

All these Terminal commands can be found here or in Terminal by typing

You should post a new enhancement issue to the repo

hb-service is part of the config-ui-x plug-in. You’ll need to install that first.

The UI has its own rest api

You should be able to remove specific accessories from displaying in Home via your homebridge, you can start homebridge in insecure mode: https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-config-ui-x/wiki/Enabling-Accessory-Control which should enable you to control accessories.

I'm no sure you can trigger automation from temperature changes as you want. Rest of automation should be doable with shortcuts but that first part is problematic. I might be wrong so wait what more experienced are saying. Only thing I could think of is use of dummy switch that works on schedule. https://github.com/kbrashears5/typescript-homebridge-schedule This way you can make switch that turns on/off at set interval and use it to kickstart your automation.

The Homebridge-Delay-Switch is described on this web page . The Schedule switch is explained here.

You should be able to use this plugin with a cron string https://github.com/kbrashears5/homebridge-schedule
