homebridge-config-ui-x

This is a plugin for Homebridge

This plugin allows you to monitor, backup and configure your Homebridge server from a browser.

This is a fork of the work originally done by mkellsy/homebridge-config-ui and provides the following improvements:

• Plugin discovery is improved with support added multiple plugin locations
• Log display performance improved, now using web sockets to display logs in real time
• Refactored code with ES6

Installation Instructions

npm install -g homebridge-config-ui-x

Configuration

Add this to your homebridge config.json file

"platform":[
    {
      "platform": "config",
      "name": "Config",
      "port": 8080
    }
]

Optional Settings

• log - The path to the homebridge log. Required if you want to see the process logs in the browser. eg. /var/log/daemon.log
• restart - The command to run when a restart request is sent from the browser. If not populated it will just terminate the homebridge process.
• temp - The path to the file that can display your current CPU temperature. eg. /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

Initial Run

Once installed you can open the interface at http://localhost:8080. The default username is admin and the default password is admin.

Usage

Login Screen

Most of your platform configs have usernames and passwords in them. To keep these secret, this plugin has basic authentication. The users are stored in the ~/.homebridge/auth.json file.

Status Screen

This shows you that the services are running. It also has your HomeKit pin.

Log Screen

This shows you the rolling log. This is helpful for troubleshooting.

Configuration Screen

And finally the configuration screen allows you to modify your Homebridge settings and your platforms and accessories.
