Description

This homebridge plugin exposes a web-based battery status to Apple's HomeKit. Using simple HTTP requests, the plugin displays the filespace useage of and ESP8266 as a battery.

I needed to monitory the file space usage of an ESP8266 that I'm using as a garage door opener. The system takes images when the door opens or closes and I want to monitor the file space usage

I modified the code from the iPCameraBattery accesory from Homebridge Http Ipcamera Battery
