Accessories

Required properties

id

Identifier of your Misfit Bolt.

On Linux, this corresponds to the bluetooth address of the bulb. You can find out your identifier using the following command:

$ sudo hcitool lescan
LE Scan ...
20:33:8F:8A:FA:AC MFBOLT

will become in your config:

{
  "id": "20338f8afaac",
  "name": "Bolt"
}

Note: On OSX, the id field is a UUID which differs from the bluetooth address.

name

Name of your Bolt, as you want it to appear in your Homekit supported app.

Optional properties

loadTimeout (in milliseconds, optional, defaults to no timeout)

Time after which homebridge will stop attempting to connect to configured bolts. Helpful when all configured bolts aren't plugged in.

timeout (in milliseconds, optional, default to 1000)

Time after which homebridge will abort any pending interaction with the bulb, such as connecting or setting values.

disconnectTimeout (in milliseconds, optional, default to 10000)

Time after which homebridge will disconnect from the bulb. Useful if you want to keep using the original Misfit Bolt app in parallel of using homebridge. Next time a command is sent via homebridge, a reconnection will be attempted.

TODO

• Move implementation that keep track of state, and allows manipulation of Hue / Brightness / Saturation to misfit-bolt module.
• Unit tests.
