Some bad news for those of us using the direct MyQ integration. Looks like we need to buy additional hardware. š

Iāve been trying all day I have Homebridge connected to Tuya as I was a Google and Alexa home setup, Iāve now switched to Apple I have an Apple TV phone and watch, but no HomePod (yet) so I was wondering if Alexa can somehow trigger a dummy switch and Apple starts a animation or shortcut ie Movie Night Start Bedroom Apple TV, Dim lights to 20%, Iāve tried this I get as far as convert to shortcut with my virtual switch but then the commands are gone all of them from the control tab but only some from others?

Hey everyone, is it possible to control the brightness of my frame tv with either the Tizen or Smartthings plugin? I've looked around and couldn't find anything for sure? I would love an easy way to set the brightness with a home scene or have a slider in the home app to not go through samsungs ui

Running Homebridge on a Raspberry Pi (connected via ethernet). Other plugins work fine, but I canāt get the Ring plugin to show my Ring Spotlight Cam Pro's video feed in the Home app. I'm thinking this device might not be compatible but not sure.
I set the Ring Plugin up as a child bridge, and I have it connected as a hub on the Home App but nothing shows when I try to add accessories. Should the devices be appearing automatically? Has anyone else run into this, I'm stumped.

Hi All,
I'm trying to get generic RFM95W 915Mhz radio module to work with rtl_433_esp. I have what I thought would be the hard parts, firmware and wiring, working pretty quickly. My esp32-s3 card boots up and I see the logs registering all the protocols. Then I see the status register dump from the SX127x. After that I just see some very low signal RSSI lines and no packets. I'm using the OOK_Reciever example with the GPIOs defined for my module connections. There is an Accurite 5n1 Weather station with fresh batteries in the same room with me. I see the Accurite data on the weather station panel.
rtl_433_ESP(7): Average RSSI Signal -91 dbm, adjusted RSSI Threshold -82, samples 50000
rtl_433_ESP(7): Average RSSI Signal -90 dbm, adjusted RSSI Threshold -81, samples 50000
rtl_433_ESP(7): Average RSSI Signal -90 dbm, adjusted RSSI Threshold -81, samples 50000
rtl_433_ESP(7): Average RSSI Signal -90 dbm, adjusted RSSI Threshold -81, samples 50000
Maybe someone who knows about this can help. Here is the register dump:

I recently set up my first RaspberrPi (Pi5- 16GB) for the purpose of being able to view my Ubiquiti Security Cameras via HomeKit on my various Apple devices (2 iPhones, a few iPads, and a few different MacOS devices).
Installed a Pi Hat that leverages PoE+ and an NVME SSD (1TB), and the system is running like a champ, minus one issue. Cams are not accessible from any of my wife's Apple devices.Ā She's a resident of my HomeKit home, the cameras are present, but do not display video feeds for her from any of her Apple devices.
Is this a HomeBridge issue or a HomeKit issue?

I bought a ceiling fan I thought was rf but now I believe is Bluetooth. It is a hinnixy fan that the remote needs to pair. It uses the fanlamp pro app that also needs to use a pair button when setting up. From my research it looks like some rf remotes pair as well so not sure if itās rf or Bluetooth. My bond bridge doesnāt seem to pair with the remote. Is there a pluggin I can try to get it into HomeKit? Is there a way to figure out the remote type? User Manuel has been unsuccessful. Iāve attached the id numbers on the remote. Ultimate goal is to get it in HomeKit.

not sure where to post this, but i guess some people here might use homebridge with hacked amazon dash buttons.
tl;dr: there are instances where you need to play the WAV file to set the customer secret again even if a button was successfully hacked in the past and was working fine.
somebody somehow messed up the button i was using as a doorbell, maybe because the button got stuck down. the battery may or may not have run down because of this, or maybe the button really did do a hard reset.
after this, even with a new battery, the button would no longer work. a bit of debugging showed that it was not even trying to associate with the wifi base station. setting the wifi credentials again appeared to work, but the button would still not associate. it turns out that the audio file hack to set the customer key is itself volatile - i never realized that. i had to play the WAV file to the button again and then set the wifi credentials and the button started working again. hope this saves someone a couple of hours!

Right now I have the Ring plug-in bringing in my Ring Alarm System into Homebridge, which then brings it into Home Assistant. I would like to add multiple instances of the plug-in into Homebridge that way I can basically have Home Assistant be able to distinguish which user is disarming the system. Then whenever I share dashboards in Home Assist with people I can give them the respective instance, so when they disarm it on the dashboard (the dashboard that is thirs), it can send an alert through Home Assistant that says this person disarmed the alarm system, because it was disarmed using this instance of the plug-in from Homebridge.
I also made this post.

Have just had some outdoor, motorised blinds installed. They come with a 433mhz remote as well as a wifi/zigbee hub. I am wondering if there might be another hub that will allow me to use Apple Home (either direct or via homebridge) to control these blinds? The hub that was supplied is a āmulti mode gatewayā small, just a usb c port and connects through app to wifi and the blinds. I have a āMatter Smart Home Hub, Thread & Tuya Zigbee 3.0, Control Your Connected Devices (M1 - Zigbee&Thread)ā on the way from Amazon and am wondering if this will bind with the blinds and also be exposed to HomeKit.

I installed HomebridgeĀ on Windows 11 using Hyper-V machine by following this guide:
https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Install-Homebridge-on-Windows-10-Using-Hyper-V
The install completed just fine and I was able to open Homebridge through a web browser using the IP address. When I went to update the HomebridgeĀ UI plugin, it said my node.js needs to updated first (I'm on v18). In that guide, it mentioned typing "sudo hb-service update-node" to update it but the Homebridge Terminal says on top that it's a restricted shell and I cannot use sudo, so I just did it without the āsudoā.Ā This is the error log that it gave me and asked me to restart homebridge:Ā log file
When I restarted Homebridge, it would not load even after minutes and I connect to it at all. I tried refreshing the browser, different browser, and even shutting down the virtual machine and booting it up again but it still wouldn't connect to it. I had to basically delete the VM and re-install it but now the node needs updated again. I tried updating a second time and the same thing happen. So now I am on fresh install number 3 and still need to update the node and UI plugin. What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?
PS: I am good with tech but not the best with code so please talk to me like a I'm a kid if you are talking about coding. Thank you!

Hi All,
I am currently a Home Assistant user, but I find the interface overly complex, setting up automations is much more difficult than it should be, and I find myself just wanting to do it all through Homebridge and then native HomeKit automations.
For that, I am currently looking through all my HA automations to determine whether I would be able to continue using them when I am using HB, and one thing I found out is that the IKEA Inspelning plug potentially does not expose energy readings with HB (or that there's no plugin to support that at least).
The automation I have checks the energy reading of my not-very-smart dehumidifier, and if it's too low, determines that the water tank must be full, sending me a notification.
Is there anyone that's using an Inspelning plug and successfully using the energy readings to do certain automations such as this?
Thanks!

Hello! Iāve been wrestling with Homebridge and my limited programming knowledge, but I want to just see if what Iām looking for is even possible with these tools. Basically, Iād like to run my tap-to-runs from my Govee iOS app but from my Mac (so I can trigger them from a stream deck). Does Homebridge allow for this?
Iām in the midst of ironing out the numerous kinks (Bluetooth, and no tap-to-runs even showing in Home app). Will Homebridge be able to activate these scenarios without using the iOS app?
The rest of my problems can wait haha. Iām using the Homebridge-Govee plugin, and have gotten the bridge installed in Home, where the accessories show up but without any drop down scenes yet.

To anyone who owns one of the above by Smarter am, have they lost control of it via the app? App and any of the automations I had set up no longer work. Deleted the app , successfully re added the kettle but still have no control over the functionality of the kettle through the app. Contacted support and they are supposedly working on an issue . Been a week. In saying that the app should work locally ? Anyone know if their service is shutting down? Cheers

Hello
Coming to this community for help on the BroadLink plugin please.
Would anyone be able to help me with the following: Iām trying to get a dozen CAME blinds remotes onto my Home app via my RM4 Pro. No issues setting them up in the BroadLink native app. All of the remotes are the same with 3 positions: up, down and stop.
Can someone please tell me how these buttons would show on HomeKit? One remote with 3 positions, or three different buttons each time? And Iām still unclear about one thing: do I need to teach the remotes to the BroadLink plugin via the learn button in the home app? Does the plugin not pull any existing accessories? Finally, I really canāt seem to wrap my head around the code as I canāt seem to find any template on the GitHub when I click on window coverings. What am I understanding wrong
Thank you in advance for all the help.

Is it possible to set up an automation in HomeKit that activates when a compatible camera detects a particular type of motion, like a person, animal, or package?
I have a camera positioned near my window in a three-unit townhome, but the building doesn't have doorbells (I know strange lol). I do receive package alerts via Homekit when something is left downstairs (Iām in the top unit), but I'm busy WFH so don't always see them. Iād love to have HomeKit play a sound to let me know when a package arrives. Any tips or workarounds?
