Doorbell plugin for Homebridge to enable control of an old doorbell and front-gate latch
This project contains two related elements. Really, these two elements should be pulled into separate repos, but this is just a weekend hobby project... so, you know, convenience and what-not.
door-server.py this is the server that runs locally on the raspberry pi in order to monitor the status of the connected automation hat and the doorbell itself. This should be installed and run on the raspberyy pi itself.Note that because this has local dependencies and isn't intended to be published as a true homebridge-plugin, it must be installed at a particular directory: ~/doorbell/
To SSH:
ssh pi@raspberrypi.local in a terminal windowHomebridge 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/
Hardcoded filepaths exist in /src/doorbell-interface.ts. These are obviously fragile.
