Homebridge Script Runner
2 projects | /r/homebridge | 13 Nov 2023

I have been in the exact same situation, I managed to sort everything I wanted by using this plugin which is working flawlessly for me https://github.com/pponce/homebridge-script2 (I have two instances of Homebridge and I can restart them without being home or even restart the pi remotely)
Completely unnecessary but awesome: localized illumination only when needed.

Once the scripts were created they need to be executed by a raspberry Pi machine that’s running Homebridge. I use a homebridge plugin called Script2 that will run a Linux command when triggered.

Running the Script2 plugin, I can't seem to get it to run any scripts, but I'm not sure if that's a dead end or configurable.
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.
Run SSH script based on GPIO input in Homebridge

2) I have created a Homekit automation which triggers a very simple shell script to take an image and send it to Telegram using https://github.com/pponce/homebridge-script2 This works about 30% of the time. I have reached the end of my multi-month-long effort to debug/fix the automation.
How can I make my own plugin?

I use this plugin for running scripts: https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-script2
Is there a plugin to make an Raspberry Pi speaker available to HomeKit?
1 project | /r/homebridge | 21 Dec 2020

Just as a thought on a way to do it: I could use a script plugin like homebridge-script2 to run a script that is set to play the specific sound on speakers connected to my Rpi. That's kind of a hack but it would work...

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.
