Doorbell plugin for Homebridge to enable control of an old doorbell and front-gate latch
About
A Homebridge plugin for a Raspberry Pi with an Automation Hat that is controlling an old, buzzer-activated door gate. Directly inspired by (this article)[https://medium.com/dirigible/siri-controlled-1970s-intercom-door-ecd7a6b0df31]. Please note that this plugin represents only the software component. The hardware is a different manner entirely, but is explained in the above mentioned article. Maybe I'll get around to detailing it someday...
Administration on the Raspberry Pi
To SSH:
- Make sure the Raspberry Pi is running
- Run
ssh pi@raspberrypi.localin a terminal window - Enter the password for the Raspberry Pi
Homebridge config on the Raspberry Pi is configured here
~/.homebridge/config.json
To shutdown run: sudo shutdown -h now
To run the plugin locally on the raspberry pi (instead of from npm):
DEBUG=* /usr/bin/homebridge -D -P doorbell/
