Home hub issues?
1 project | /r/homebridge | 5 Sep 2023

Hello, I’ve been running homebridge for well over a year without issues and recently I’ve been getting “no response” from any device loaded through homebridge. Restarting homebridge does nothing to improve it nor does restarting the docket container, but restarting the raspberry pi 4 it is running on can occasionally help, but this lasts for maybe a day before the no response returns. The only error I see occasionally in the log is due to one plugin for the jablotron security system. Disabling that plugin does not fix the issue. Everything is up to date. The accessories work fine via the homebridge web interface. I have other HomeKit devices that are created via node red and https://nrchkb.github.io running on the same Pi that work fine. Scrypted cameras work fine too. I had not added or changed anything to the system for months. The no response just started out of the blue.
Interact to Node-Red through Homebridge - any options?
2 projects | /r/homebridge | 14 Jan 2023

Not to hijack this thread, but would you mind if I picked your brain, @automayted? I have a Smart Oil Gauge to measure my heating oil that I'd like to monitor the readings of in HomeKit. I found a Node-RED import code that I used to scrape the readings from the webapp of the oil gauge. I'd like to pass that info to Homebridge, but I'm having trouble. I have Node-RED running inside HA, and I'm using NRCHKB to emulate HomeKit devices. HA displays the scraped values in US Gal perfectly well, but I'm not sure the best way to pass that info into a virtual HomeKit sensor. I can get the virtual HK sensor to show up in Homebridge, but it doesn't contain the gauge readings. Do you have any experience doing something like this/have any thoughts on how I might go about it?

I’m not sure if homebridge is the right platform for this. I might suggest node-red and https://nrchkb.github.io/

Using Node-RED dashboard (old Android tablet) to trigger HomeKit scenes
1 project | /r/HomeKit | 15 Mar 2021

I'm running Node-RED on a Raspberry Pi and use node-red-contrib-homekit-bridged as HomeKit bridge. The dashboard is done using node-red-dashboard and some CSS hacks. The buttons I press to trigger HomeKit scenes are exposed as stateless programmable switch. So i can assign scenes and accessories to them using Home app.
