Homebridge Plugin

Hi,

I created a plugin for homebridge that allows you to use alarmdecoder natively in homekit. Using this plugin you can tell Siri to turn on and off your alarm.

Thanks for the contribution - the more platforms that support us the better!

The plugin looks good.

made a new version that exposes all zones as motion or contact sensors https://github.com/aficustree/homebridge-alarmdecoder-platform

I started using that new plugin and it works great!
Thanks!
Any chance it would support non burglary devices like smoke detectors and Co detectors?
Currently have it set up to show all my doors, windows, and motions. Originally I had added my smokes and Co det but they came up “non supported” (unless I was doing something wrong.

Shouldn't be hard at all. My system doesn't have CO or Fire zones to test but I'd be happy to do up the code in a vacuum and let you see if it works. Let me know if you'd be willing to be a guinea pig.

Sure!
I’d love to try it.

You should be able to install by removing the old version and installing the development revision (noted by #development)

Code: Select all: npm install -g git+https://github.com/aficustree/homebridge-alarmdecoder-platform#development

Sorry, also note that you must name your zones in the AlarmDecoder WebUI and use one of the keywords 'motion' 'carbon' or 'smoke' in order for it to pickup that it's not a contact sensor and behave accordingly. I've updated the readme.md file to note that too.
