homeeUp

Use virtual devices in homee. <3

(C) 2018, Kevin Dietrich

homeeUp allows you to use virtual devices in the smart home hub homee by exposing them via a simulated Homematic CCU (don't worry - you don't need a physical CCU). homeeUp is based on plugins so feel free to add your own ones by providing pull requests.

Currently it is possible to simulate switches (HM-LC-Sw1-FM) and remote controls (HM-RC-4-2).

How-to

1. Install homeeUp: sudo npm install -g homeeup
2. Create a config.json file using the template below inside your user home: ~/.homeeup/config.json
3. Start it up: LOG=info homeeup
4. Add a new Homematic CCU to homee.

Sample config.js

{
        "hostAddress": "IP_OF_YOUR_DEVICE_RUNNING_HOMEEUP",
        "plugins": [
            {
                "deviceName": "HTTPSwitch",
                "type": "SimpleHTTPPlugin",
                "pluginParams": {
                    "onUrl": "http://www.google.de/on",
                    "offUrl": "http://www.google.de/off"
                }
            },
            {
                "deviceName": "CMDSwitch",
                "type": "SimpleCMDPlugin",
                "pluginParams": {
                    "onCmd": "touch /tmp/file",
                    "offCmd": "rm /tmp/file",
                    "statusCmd": "ls /tmp/file >> /dev/null; echo $?",
                    "checkInterval": 2000
                }
            }
        ]
}

This sample config exposes two switches to homee: HTTPSwitch and CMDSwitch. The former calls a http url when switched on or off. The latter one runs a cmd command when switched on or off. It also has a build in statusCmd that checks if the status has changed (outside of homee) and keeps it up-to-date.

Troubleshooting

Feel free to open an issue if you experience any issues. However please start homeeUp using LOG=debug homeeup to generate debug output and attach it to your issue.
